A COMMUNITY cafe in Prestonpans is set to close its doors for the summer months as it waves goodbye to its hardworking cafe manager.

The Lighthouse Cafe, on West Loan, served customers for the final time on Friday afternoon as it is shutting up shop until August.

A cafe spokesperson said: “We’d like to give a huge thank you to Iona, our cafe manager, who finishes up her role with us today.

“Iona has worked really hard in the last 10 months, leading and caring for our volunteer team and navigating a post-pandemic cafe landscape.

“Having especially led on creating college student placements within our team, we’re delighted she’s moving on to teacher training and know she’ll bring all kinds of wonderfulness to that role.

“The cafe will reopen as the schools go back so we wish you a very happy summer and look forward to seeing you in August.”
