It is with sadness that during the Spring of this year, Ferne Animal Sanctuary must announce that Nina’s Café is to close its’ doors to the public from May 13th.
Over the past few years, we have worked hard to make Nina’s an independent commercial success, so that it could contribute to the ongoing animal care work that the charity does and has done for 84 years. The recent and financial pressures of food costs, utility costs, and wages have meant that the ever-improving revenues are more than wiped out by costs, leaving the café operation unsustainable.
We would like to thank all those that work, and have worked, at Nina’s for their dedication and effort; we are sorry that Nina’s cannot continue to trade in the way that it does currently. We will give our Nina’s team full support as we work through this process, and appreciate just how challenging this news is.
Ferne Animal Sanctuary shall continue to carry out the much-needed animal care work; rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need and we are incredible grateful for your support!
Nina’s shall trade as normal until Sunday 14th April in line with Easter School Holidays. Between Monday 15th April and Monday 13th May, it will be a reduced menu and opening hours. From Monday 13th May onwards visitors can avail hot & cold drinks, ice-cream, prepacked cold snacks from the Visitor Centre.
Nina’s shall remain available for group bookings, either private or corporate made in advance (T’s & Cs apply), and during our numerous annual events and shows, and to cater for functions booked in our conference room that require a catering option
