Potential.

·       The local area lacks a children friendly social venue for families with young children. Customers have indicated that opening on Friday evenings for ‘Pizza’ & Play’ on a BYO basis would be popular.

·       Creating packages for families, season passes, picnic boxes to takeaway during the summer etc;

·       Seeking outside catering work, utilising the excellent kitchen facilities.

·       Renting out the Café and kitchen space either on a full-time basis or during out of hours (to be run as a dark kitchen).

·       Whilst use is made of Facebook and a website, there is scope to use social media such as Tik Tok to a greater extent.
