Anyway on a slightly more serious note...
It seems to me that Café Pazar has been taking a bit of a bashing recently, not just on this forum but on other social media as well. So I thought I’d adjust the balance with a few of my own observations.
Firstly let me say I have known Cenap and Cathy for more than ten years and we are good friends so yes my observations are going to be biased!
Historically Café Pazar was the first bar/café in the area, in what has around nine similar venues. Originally located what is now Café Inn they moved into the current larger premises about four years ago.
In ten years and more they have not only provided food and drink to thousands of people and have kept us going through the long winter months with themed food evenings, live bands quizzes etc. They also provide transport hire, transfers and the occasional organised trip.
However many people may not know of the additional functions that Cenap and Cathy have performed over the years (and all free of charge I may add).
The sorting out customers plumbing, electric, telephone, tax, rental and other sundry problems that everyone seems to run into from time to time.
Or helping out people who have, or who have a family member suddenly taken ill and require medical treatment organising the hospital and all the associated hand holding and translation that goes along with it.
Or providing translation and hand holding, in the middle of the night for a customer whose partner had sadly passed away. As an aside they have done this on more than one occasion and also organised all the subsequent funeral arrangements.
Anyway that’s my little rant over. I’d just like to add that yes there have been a few problems with staffing combined with the moving on of some very popular staff members to new pastures, but hopefully that has been resolved. So the Café, hopefully like the Windmill Theatre, will never close!
