Local couple to take over running of park cafe

The couple have decided to name the new venture Florrie's, after their daughter

A pavilion cafe in Surrey is to reopen in July after a local couple were chosen to run it.

Guy Hassell and Kate Chisnall have successfully bid to run the cafe in Redhill's Memorial Park.

Work will now begin to prepare the kiosk, with no firm date set for the reopening.

The couple have decided to name the new venture Florrie's, after their daughter.

Mr Hassell, an experienced barista, said: "As a Redhill family, we want to make a positive impact in the community and serve our local park.

"We can’t wait to get the doors open soon and meet our customers.”

Ms Chisnall, who has a background in marketing, added: “Community will be at the heart of what we do, and we have plans to run events and workshops in the future too.”
