The popular burger bar and restaurant closed its doors for good on

food since its closure.
But, not even a month after it closed, the establishment is to set
to open its doors for good again, under a complete different name.
It will re-brand as Cowch Cafe.
Owners Keith Holland and Steve Rees said the new cafe will offer
speciality coffee, burgers, flat bread pizza, hot chocolate,

A message posted to customers on Googies Facebook page last month
said a downturn in business and personal family issues resulted in
its closure.
It said: "To all our customers, we would like to thank you for
supporting us over the last eight years, but the time has come for
us to close our doors for the last time.
Down turn in business and family issues.
"Varying reasons including down turn in business and personal family
issues.
Cafe Cowch will be re-opened by Googies owners Keith Holland (above)

"We will be opening our doors for the bar only Saturday evening for
a farewell drink and look forward to seeing you if you can make it.
All the best Keith and Steve."
The restaurant, which opened in 2009, was a finalist in 2017’s
