And for pet owners, the coffee hut will also offer doggie treats and ice creams. “We strive to use local suppliers and produce, ensuring that every product is made with care and quality,” said owners Emma and Paul Perret. “We aim to create a space where our customers can relax, unwind, and enjoy good food together.
” The second business which will be in operation from April is Embers Sauna, a mobile sauna designed to cater to cold-water swimmers and sauna enthusiasts. The eco-friendly, trailer-based unit will be powered by a wood-burning stove, offering an “affordable and sustainable wellness experience,” the owners said. The operators will work with local groups including Marine Lake Mudlarks and sea swimming clubs, as well as wellness organisations.
Ed and Claire Charles, owners of Embers Sauna said: “Embers Sauna are thrilled to bring our authentic wood-fired sauna to Marine Lake Plaza. “Our vision is to create a welcoming and relaxing space for individuals to combine the healing benefits of sauna heat therapy and cold-water swimming, alongside mindfulness, stress-relief, and a shared sense of purpose. “At Embers, we believe in the power of community and aim to foster an inclusive and supportive environment for our customers to connect, learn, and prioritise their well-being - whether we're catering for seasoned sauna enthusiasts or first-time users.
We can't wait to meet you!” Councillor Mike Solomon, North Somerset Council’s executive member for culture and leisure, said the businesses will be a “welcome enhancement to the area. "We’re delighted to welcome two new operators to Marine Lake plaza in Weston-super-Mare this season,” he said. “These will be a welcome enhancement to the area, and the sauna is something very different and exciting for the town, and I’m sure the coffee hut will be a great addition, and I will certainly be trying their coffee and perhaps even a piece of cake.
