Much loved Govan neighbourhood cafe has closed

It has been announced that Carlyle’s Cafe on Elderpark Street in Govan has closed their doors for the final time.

Taking to social media, the café said: "It's with great sadness that we need to announce this.

"Due to health, family commitments and rising energy, food, packaging, materials costs etc, we have decided that now is the right time to close the café.

"We would like to thank all our customers in Govan new and old for your continued support over the last four years. It has been a blast, we have met so many new people who are now friends and we wish you all the very best for the future, from Reece, all the staff and the whole family.
