The owners of the soon-to-close Mossgiel Snug in Mauchline are looking at ways to utilise the space to benefit the community.

It was announced last week that the popular shop at The Cross in Mauchline will close its doors this Saturday (July 29) due to "rocketing" costs.

"We'd provide some help with marketing for your big day, leave the La Marzocco coffee machine, fridges and tables in there, then let you crack on with your BIG food idea.

"We've done this already too - with awesome peeps like Reggaelicious Food Truck bringing Caribbean food to Mauchline and beyond with some amazing feedback.

"There'd be a wee fee involved, but if you're interested - drop us an email to TheSnug@MossgielFarm.co.uk"

 

HEY, WHAT'S YOUR OPINION? We announced last week that we're closing our wee Snug coffee shop in Mauchline (boo). But...
