“Unfortunately, the business sale fell through last week.
“There has been so much to consider but due to a variety of reasons, I have made the difficult decision to permanently close the doors of Slaughterhouse Coffee.”
Laura added: “Please come visit for one last coffee if you can.
“It’s always sad when something ends but let’s focus on what an incredible space the Slaughterhouse has been and celebrate it as much as we can in the time that is left.
“And who knows, maybe it will pop up somewhere else in the world one day!”
