The Dennis Cafe on Castle Beach has been run by the Lindsay family for 32 years, members of Pembrokeshire County Council licensing sub-committee heard yesterday (Tuesday, May 25), and it wanted to extend its business into the Castle Cafe across the slipway. Ebony Lindsay told the committee that there was talk of it being a bar, public house or nightclub, which was “very frustrating to us. Castle Cafe will be not be any of those.”

Members of Pembrokeshire County Council’s licensing committee will discuss an application for a premises licence for the Castle Cafe, made by the owner of the nearby Dennis Cafe, this week. Representations from Dyfed-Powys Police licensing officer Nigel Lewis highlight a “gradual increase in the failure to comply with social distancing; anti-social behaviour, bonfires; discarded broken glass and general waste thereby minimising the public confidence, for their safety, at this location” in the immediate vicinity recently.

They are concerned the anti-social behaviour and lack of social distancing could lead to another lockdown
