Park-based cafe goes cashless after second burglary

Wednesday, 4 January 2023 00:00

The Wood Bar cafe based at Victoria Park in Salisbury is to go cashless after it suffered a second cash robbery.

They have announced via their Instagram account that they had a considerable amount of money stolen from the cafe at Victoria Park, the second time this has happened in two months.

This has led to the 'tough' decision to move their sites to take only cashless payments.

They went on to say that they are struggling as a business, and this may be the tipping point in the survival of The Wood Bar.

The statement said: "We value your business and support and we know this will be an inconvenience for some and for that we apologise.

"It’s a hard time for us all, as a business we are really struggling. This could tip us over the edge and sadly mark the end for The Wood Bar.

"Please continue to support us and bring your cards along with you or link your cards to your mobile device so we can still serve you your usual."
