Seafield Cafe, the walk through

The merging of Mearns T McCaskie with The Seaview Caf̩ next door is a good example of how close relationships and a willingness to go the extra distance delivered a project that was not just what was wanted Рbut was hoped it could be.

Last month, we gave Nigel and Helen Ovens' story. This month, we bring you a project walk-through that takes you 'behind the scenes' written by Watco Systems, who designed and delivered the project as a complete turnkey operation. It may be useful as a reference for any SFMTA member planning a refit in their current shop or extending their premises.

The Opportunity

The Seaview Café traded for many years next door to the butcher shop. Nigel and Helen had always thought that it could be an opportunity.

With the recent market trend toward integrating butchery with meals – hot counters, farm shop cafes, meal packs – the thought was turning into 'what if' plans. At last, at the beginning of this year, they were able to purchase the premises! Now what? Make clear plans and find the people to make it happen.
