Sutton Council’s Asset Management team have commenced the marketing for new lettings of Grove Park cafe together with the crazy golf course and also “Lawn View” the former Parks Police Station, currently used by the Parks service, this week. They have arranged for an advert to go in the Sutton Guardian, direct e-mailing to previous applicants on the Council’s database and published the details on the London Borough of Sutton’s website.
Sutton Council, and Alan, Jill and Hamish (as pictured by the Ponds) as local ward councillors, all of whom are Friends of The Grove Park, are keen to maintain the crazy golf use, with any successful applicant carrying out improvement works and to ensure that a vibrant cafe with an experienced operator re opens to serve the park.
“Lawn View” would be suitable for offices and ideally small craft / start up workshops. The space is not suitable for more intensive workshops and obviously has no vehicular access. The Council will look at alternative uses, but do not propose anything that would compete with the nursery next door at Grove Hall.
The premises will be available on a full repairing and insuring lease excluded from the security of tenure provisions of Part ll of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 for a term to be agreed, but anticipated to be a minimum of 5 years. The council is seeking operators who are prepared to take responsibility for all aspects of the site including the opening, closing, cleaning and maintenance of the public toilets during cafe opening hours.
All offers must be made by 9 June 2015 in writing to Asset Management, London Borough of Sutton, 24 Denmark Road, Carshalton, Surrey SM5 2JG or by e-mail to alison.boote@sutton.gov.uk.
Only just seen this advert regarding the cafe in the grove. Did someone sign a new lease?
Kind regards

Dear Tina
We have received a reply today 20th Aug 2015 to your recent query.
Dear All
I am pleased to confirm that Sassi’s signed an agreement last Friday and are finalising contractors on their new fit out. Wayne Spiller of Sassi’s has some exciting plans and hopes to be up and running within a month. We do continue to have enquiries for this popular site and we are making sure all interested applicants are added to our database so we can let them know about other cafe opportunities as they come up.
Please pass on the enquiry and I’ll make sure they are contacted and added to the database.
Kind regards
Alison

I have asked council officers to respond to you directly.
Hi,
I know this is not a recent topic and the original date has passed but do you know if the lawn view workshop has been let, recently saw this still posted on the councils website.
Many thanks
