Pip's Palace

The time has come for our last day. Thank you all so much for your support and good wishes, it means more than anyone will ever know. It’ll be a hard day so if you see me in tears, please do forgive me. Thank you everyone. X

Due to a castrate we are having to open at the later time of 11am tomorrow.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

We will be closed tomorrow from 2.30pm as we are short staffed and it is a birthday of someone very close to the owner. We will be open again Wednesday morning as usual. Here’s a fantastic photo of Ben taken by a lovely customer to brighten the day (chasing a reflection on the ceiling).

We have a party tomorrow between 11-1. We will be open until quarter to 11 and then again from 1.15. X

We will be closing at 4.30 today.

If anyone wants to come down beforehand please feel free.

Our babies are waiting for cuddles.

Good morning

It is with a lot of sadness that we write this post.

Unfortunately we have made the decision to close the cat cafe on 30th September.

Any bookings after this date, please contact us and we will refund.

This has not been an easy decision at all but unfortunately the owner’s personal circumstances have changed unexpectedly and drastically since opening and it just is not possible to continue.

This was not the case when the cafe was opened and was very unexpected.

We really have enjoyed meeting all our fellow cat lovers and getting to know the best people.

I know this news will disappoint people, we are all ourselves absolutely gutted but it has come to a point where it simply cannot continue.

Due to staff shortages we will have to remain closed this morning.

We will reopen this afternoon as usual.

Thank you again to all our lovely customers and friends of the cafe. X

Morning

We are having to close early today due to personal reasons.

We will need to close at 3.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Due to personal circumstances and a staff shortage, the shop will need to be closed from 2.30-3.45 tomorrow, reopening at 3.45.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Unfortunately due to an emergency (not cat related) we are having to open at the slightly later time of 10.30am today.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

We will be opening at 10.00am today for personal reasons to allow for our first booking.

On Monday (bank holiday) our hours will be 10.00am-4.00pm.

😁

We will be opening at the slightly later time of 10.00am tomorrow for our first booking.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Unfortunately due to circumstances outside of our control, we will have to close the cafe tomorrow as directed by officials to sort some bits out. We will be open on Monday. We are very sorry to disappoint those with bookings but this is not in our control. If you have a booking please contact us and we will rearrange for you and not charge for any additional persons.

Who would be interested in a cat quiz night next Thursday 24th August? Teams of 4 (4 teams needed)? Prize for the winning team and cat cuddles includes. Tickets will be £15.00 per person.

Bit of brotherly love this morning. Ragdoll Power.

Good afternoon

Just an update - whilst we will be prioritising our booking system, we will also now be allowing walk ins until capacity.

This is as the booking system is only allowing one table to be booked per hour.

This will be on a first come first served basis whilst our official site is finalised.

Further, we are anticipating arranging our quiz night for next week. Tickets will be £15.00 per person (goes toward our cat care). Four members on each team and there will be prizes.

Please do message me for further details.

Have a great Sunday

Good evening

We are aware there are currently a few issues with our very new website (which is temporary whilst our official website is finalised).

To clarify, an hour at the cafe remains at £7.50 per person, half an hour is £3.00 per person.

Children are welcome and under 5s are free only.

We are working on the issues with only being able to add one person in the payment section currently.

Please do send us a note when booking to confirm the number of places.

Thank you for bearing with us whilst we figure things out 😁

There are still tickets (8 left) for our medium night in the 27th July from 6.00pm. Please message me if interested x

Listen out on Monday on the Radio… BBC Essex… 12.30 😬

Just a reminder, we are closed from 2.30 tomorrow.

The rest of the week are usual hours.

Here is a pic of our crazy Ben Boy to brighten up the evening.

Thank you.

Just a reminder, we are closed today and tomorrow after 2.30 for personal reasons.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

We are open as usual again on Saturday.

Thank you.

Unfortunately we are having to close at 2.30pm on Thursday for personal reasons. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Just a reminder we are closed at 11.00am today for a private function. We will be back open at 1.00pm for the public. Thank you

Good afternoon

A few updates:

We will be closing at 5.00pm tomorrow.

Saturday 13th we have a private function between 11.00am and 1.00pm.

Saturday 20th we have a private function between 11.00am-1.00pm.

Many thanks

Just a reminder that we are closed bank holiday Monday 1st, Tuesday 2nd and Monday 8th to give our precious babies a rest 😻

Unfortunately over night there were a number of posts on a members picture which resulted in us taking down the post for our lovely and loyal customer.

Please note, our cats are vet checked and they are all healthy. The bengals have had a few problems (not cat flu) which we have under control and which is not contagious. We have made various adjustments for them for this.

Frank unfortunately has recently had sticky eyes. We believe this is from his vaccinations as being a baby and having his treatments can have an effect on his immune system. He has another vet check tomorrow however (we turned up at the vets today to be told it was tomorrow) just to get him checked.

Please note the health and welfare of our cats always comes first and it was very upsetting to read some of the comments which are not factual.

We love sharing our cats with the public they are all lovely cuddle bugs.

If you can be anything in this world, please be kind.

Thank you.

Spot the Ben 😻

We will be opening at ten tomorrow as opposed to 9.30 as our three littlest babies have their second vaccinations.

Thank you for understanding 😁

Good Morning

By way of update, we are closing 1st and 2nd May and 8th May (the two Bank holidays and the Tuesday after the first bank holiday).

Also, on the Saturday 13th May we will be closed between the hours of 11.00am and 1.00pm for a private function.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

But not our lovely visitors 😻

Unfortunately we will be closing at 3 today to give our babies some time to relax and also be pampered and bathed (good luck me). We apologise for any inconvenience. We will be back open usual time tomorrow x
