The main fire safety work in Crave is all finished. You can now access all parts of the cafe again.
To all who came in last week, sorry about the noise. It was pretty loud at some points! Thanks for being understanding and gracious.
You guys are all champs!

BIG WEEK - we have a week of improvements for fire safety in Crave. A bunch of walls around the bathroom block are getting extra gib put on and our awesome RSJ beams have to be covered up unfortunately to comply. The builders will be working super fast to get it all done in 5 days. It does mean our bathrooms will be out of action, we have some prestige portaloos in the meantime.
Our upstairs areas including the library and the private rooms are inaccessible for the week as well as the cage and toy box areas. Everything else should be all good.
Should all be finished by Friday, so next weekend will not be impacted
We will update you with any details.
