Cafe Closes its Doors

A popular Laxey business has closed its doors for the final time, with its owners thanking all those who supported them.

Laxey Kitchen, run by Lisa and Martin MacKenzie, announced the closure over the weekend.

In a post on Facebook, Lisa and Martin said they’ve ‘had a blast’ and praised a business that ‘started as a hobby food blog turned into something utterly beautiful’.

They said: ‘From delivering gorgeous vegan food and cakes to your doors during the lockdowns to getting the keys to our lovely café in Laxey village and turning what was a vintage butchers shop into a beautiful space for you all to enjoy.

‘We’ve had parties, pop-up’s and celebrations of all kinds and we’ve loved getting to know each and every one of you. Thank you for all of your love and support, it has meant the world to us and we’re incredibly grateful.

‘Opening a niche business in a tiny village, in a former butchers shop in the middle of a pandemic was always going to be a challenge but I think we smashed it! The days when we had a queue stretching out onto the square totally blew our minds!!

Laughs and Tears

Praising their staff, they said ‘you’re incredible and we will treasure the memories forever, we’ve laughed, A LOT!! And cried a bit too’.

As a quick note, anyone with unused vouchers, Lisa and Martin have asked people to contact them, saying they will be honoured by their other business.
