REVEALED: Popular welsh cake cafe in pembrokeshire has been saved from closure | Vintage Vibes

A Welsh cake shop in the small harbour town of Solva, Pembrokeshire, which faced closure has announced that it's staying open for another summer having come to an agreement with the building's owners.

MamGu Welshcakes was started by Becky Swift and Thea Noble and has been going since 2016 after the pair's love of Pembrokeshire and cake transcended into a fully fledged business. In September 2022, they broke the news that Mamgu Welshcakes had not been given the option to renew its lease at Main Street in the town.

But now, just five months later, an agreement to keep the cafe and shop open has been settled with the building's owner - for another year at least. Speaking to WalesOnline, Becky said: "We are absolutely thrilled that we can stay open in Solva for another year. It means we can keep our amazing team of staff employed for longer and carry on offering seasonal work to our returning summer staff.
