A RETURNING expat couple are reporting “thriving” trade after taking over a York café.
Terence and Rebecca Wensley took a lease on the former Dickinson’s Café, in Tower Street, with help from Langleys Solicitors.
The couple, originally from Skipton-on-Swale, near Thirsk, lived in France for 18 years, running a B&B and building renovation business.
After scouring England for the perfect catering premises, they took over the 25-seater café and renamed it Tower Vue Café, to reflect their French influence.
They plan to expand the business with sandwiches-to-order and buffets for corporate customers.
Mrs Wensley said: “We had not been to York for a long time and we were surprised at how pleasant and busy it was. The café’s location is second to none. We love the view.”
James Bradley, a solicitor in the commercial property team at Langleys, said: “We were pleased to help Terence and Rebecca secure this fantastic location.”
