Firm’s lockdown pop-up proves roaring success

- With Stuart Wilson

A non-profit initiative from Troon café, bar and restaurant Lido has reached a fundraisin­g milestone as it donates £5,000 to Hospitalit­y Action – a charity which offers lifeline support and services to people working across the hospitalit­y industry.

An increase in new dog owners and sustained daily walking habits for locals has contribute­d to the popularity of the daytime pop-up, which offers takeaway breakfast, lunch, coffee and cakes from 9am – 4pm seven days a week.

The pop-up has welcomed many regulars since it launched in February as well as several new faces of the fourlegged variety picking up their very own pup-puccinos.

Additional profits have been allocated to supporting Buzzworks’ own people in need via the Buzzworks Wellbeing Fund.

Kenny Blair, Buzzworks MD, said: “Giving back to our people and charities of choice has always been high on our agenda so we’re proud to support them doing what we do best – providing world-class hospitalit­y.

“It’s been a difficult year for our industry but I’d like to thank everyone for their continued support.

“We hope to hit our target of raising £10,000 for good causes through the Lido pop- up before dine-in restaurant­s reopen and we can welcome people back inside our venues.”
