The Castle Cafe Oakham is closing down.
The Cafe will close its doors and garden in three weeks time
another of Oakham's little treasures gone for good.
I can not help feeling this may be due to silly rules, I know I am not
the only one who has been turned away just before lunch time.
Only to be told by a polite waitress sorry we only serve lunch now.
When all I and friends wanted was a coffee and a snack.
We all departed rather bemused looking into a empty garden,
I pondered the meaning of Cafe it certainly is not lunchtime restaurant.
The closure will be a loss to Oakham, there are not many nice places
to sit outside.
