After a rocky few months, it has been announced the cafÃ© in Princes Park is finally set to open.

According to the council, the eatery will now open in May and is called The Boathouse.

This comes following weeks of delays after a deal with the University of Brighton fell through in February.

An Eastbourne Borough Council spokesperson said, “The council has completed a 20-year lease with JAZZCO Group (UK) Limited to operate the Princes Park café.

“The café, which will be called The Boathouse, will undergo an internal fit-out before opening in May.

“Princes Park has benefited from a range of recent improvements including the creation of a central plaza, pedestrian link to the seafront, new entrance and zebra crossing, and café refurbishment.”
