Vintage tea room near Bedford to close due to "increasing costs"
The tea room at Ridgmont Station Heritage Centre is being forced to shut up shop.
It’s last day will be this Saturday (December 20) – and all bookings up to this date will be honoured.
In a statement on its Facebook page, the Ridgmont Station Heritage Centre and Tea Room said: “Common to many hospitality outlets and despite the tireless work of our team we have been unable to generate sufficient income to cover increasing costs and have had to take the very hard decision to close.
“We would like to put on record our sincere thanks to Linda, our tea room manager, and her team, for the excellent service they have provided to our valued customers over the years – and we wish them all well for the future.”
Ridgmont Station Heritage Centre and gift shop will continue to operate and will reopen after Christmas on January 15.
