Closure of Serendipi-tea Cafe in Thornton, Fife

That this House records its great sorrow at the news that the multi-award winning Serendipi-tea Cafe in Thornton, Fife, is to close on 3 November 2023; notes that, since Fiona and Lloyd Greenaway opened the cafe in 2014, it has regularly featured in local, regional and national award short lists for the quality of its home baking and the warmth of welcome every customer receives; notes in particular their achievement in being named the best cafe in Fife for three consecutive years between 2020 and 2022 and the best place in Scotland to have a scone in 2021; thanks Fiona and Lloyd for creating such a valued social hub in the village of Thornton; offers them all good wishes for whatever lies ahead; and calls upon the Government to recognise the contribution made by small independent owner-operated cafes to communities throughout the UK and the extreme challenges many of them are facing.
