We have had the huge privilege of running the Corner Cafe in Huercal-Overa for very nearly two years now.
We always knew that our time in the Corner Cafe would be temporary. Many people will know that the unit was never really intended for hosting a commercial kitchen, and the lease included several restrictions that have limited our ability to offer all of the services that our customers would like.
However, thanks to the support of customers over the last two years we have been able to secure and fund a move to a new location just a short distance from our current one.
We have a lot of work ahead of us as construction is about to begin. Initially we will start this work whilst keeping the Corner Cafe open for as long as possible. Once we are ready there will be a short period where we will need to close in order to move equipment - but after a short break (for a well earned rest) we will reopen in our new location and with a new name....
Castle Bar and Bistro
What will the new location offer?
- Fully fitted commercial kitchen separate from the customer areas, allowing us to increase the range of food we can offer and keeping the kitchen smells where they belong ... in the kitchen!
- Cafe/Bar offering a full range of beers, spirits, wines, coffees and much much more
- Terrace area where you can enjoy the long Spanish evenings outside eating and drinking with friends and pets
- Huge Bistro seating area, fully air conditioned where we will be offering our current cafe menu during the day times and a new range of traditional British bistro food options in the evenings
- Comfortable casual seating area (the "Snug") where you can lounge in comfort, enjoy a drink while you read or work
We don't know what the exact date we will be for our re-opening, much will depend on how the building work goes along with the usual paperwork demands. We currently hope that we will open shortly after the Easter break.
Why the change of name? Well firstly we won't be on a corner any more, and secondly we will be far more than a cafe. We just felt that it was appropriate to accompany the move and huge changes that are coming with a change in the name.
When we do re-open we will start with opening hours very similar to our current hours at the Corner Cafe. Shortly after that we aim to open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. A little later we will look to offer a special Sunday lunchtime offering....but more on those additions as we get a little closer.
We will post regular updates on this page as we progress.
Fingers Crossed!
