The owner of a West Belfast cafe said she's "gutted" after being forced to close her doors just one year after opening due to rising energy bills.
In a post on social media, Grainne announced the cafe's closure while thanking the local people of Beechmount for "making the long hours totally worth it." "If I stay open I’ll be given an electric bill I won’t be able to afford. Possibly £3k to 5k for two months as more electricity is used in winter months.
Speaking to Belfast Live last month about her fears as the cost of living crisis deepens, Grainne said she was concerned about what would happen to their regular customers. "We'll be worrying if certain kids are OK as we were helping them with breakfasts each day. If they're coming in here and having breakfast, that's getting them through to lunch each day."
