Stop Cardiff Council evicting Secret Garden Cafe from Bute Park
The Issue
Secret Garden Cafe are the heart of Bute Park but they've been served with a notice to quit* from Cardiff Council who want to run a tender for the lease.
Cardiff Council say this is a legal requirement but independent legal experts disagree.
Secret Garden Cafe is well loved by many across Cardiff, it is a unique, community-creating, sustainable, honest cafe, staffed by a team of lovely people. And they do amazing food!
They have:
- Survived all the COVID lockdowns and recent energy and supplier cost hikes
- Invested £100k+ in the business
- Raised £5,000 to repair and replace trees that were vandalised
- Made 6,000 meals for NHS staff during the pandemic
- Raised £18k+ for charity
- 9 lovely staff
I believe Cardiff Council and Bute Park should be supporting this amazing, sustainable, ethical, local, independent business by extending their lease without tender.
Sign if you agree and leave a comment that we can share with the Council!
And why not head to TripAdvisor and show them some love there too!
*'Notice to quit' is the correct legal term apparently, not eviction as I had originally written, apologies I have now corrected this
