A cafe in a picturesque Bolton location has reopened this weekend for a sneak preview before it opens permanently following its sudden closure five months ago. Queen's Park Cafe welcomed customers once again on Saturday after being shut since February . This weekend is a trial run, with the cafe set to open from a regular basis, starting on Friday, July 26.
It is now owned by the charity Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and Merseyside, having previously been run by Deep Beat Entertainment before it went into administration. The charity, which also runs the Moss Bank Park cafe, is starting with a smaller menu before bringing in more items from its Smithills-based stablemate, as well as more extensive vegetarian and halal options. Workers at the cafe (Image: Newsquest) Gemma Allen, a worker at the cafe, said: "We have had quite a few in this morning, mostly regulars returning, they are saying they are glad to see it open.
"We will be hoping to build it back up again. You can see people just looking over, thinking 'ooh it's open' - once the word gets out we think it will be busy. "A lot have said it looks bigger in here.
