Rowan Tree Team Room to close after 20yr journey citing “current financial climate”

Rowan Tree Tea Room, located within The Stables on Wadham St is to close a spokesperson has said.

The business formerly operated from Weston Quarry until it was forced to relocate in August 2023 after concerns with the buildings it operated out of.

David Lewis who operates the venue said;

Our last day of trading will be Saturday 27th June.

Until then we will be open our usual hours Wednesday to Saturday.

Due to the current financial climate it is now time to close, at least this time I get to choose when.

It has been a fantastic journey for nearly 20 years, hoping to see lots of my customers in these last few weeks.”

Jemma Coles, who manages The Stables said;

“I’m very sad that David will be leaving us but very pleased that we were able to offer him and his customers a new home after the quarry. He will be sadly missed. The rise in overheads for small businesses in the town since April is making it extremely hard for everyone.”
