New Owners at the Harbour Lights

Clive and Fiona Wilson are the new owners, and they hope to be offering a service quite soon, well in time for the really busy part of the season. Fiona tells me that their son Jack, presently on vacation from his studies at Cardiff University, is helping with the preparations.
Their daughter Vicky is married and lives on a fruit farm in Herefordshire.

Fiona was a headteacher at Dawlish Primary School, and afterwards ran a tea room in Dawlish. Clive retired from the police force to run his own business as an estate agent, before joining Fiona in a joint catering enterprise.
At the time they were living south of Exeter, in the village of Kenn.

Harbour Lights Cafe and Restaurant

Clive and Fiona plan to offer tea, coffee, sandwiches, and cream teas, with breakfasts as well from 8.30am.
