Series from 2011
A family owned seaside cafe hosts some colorful customers in this warm comedy series created by award-winning writers Ralph Little and Michelle Terry.
Quiet life in the sleepy seaside town of Weston-super-Mare, and its even sleepier seafront café, Cyril's, is thrown into a state of mild disarray when a flashy events manager from London comes to visit his ill mother.
Sarah chases some literary agents, and the Dobsons spark a heated debate about jam and cream. Meanwhile, something strange is going on with Carol and the cafe.
Carol introduces a new menu at Cyril's in an attempt to attract a wider clientele, a decision which does not go down well with the regulars. Meanwhile, Richard is jealous when Sarah attends the pub quiz with John, Mary reveals her dislike for `grockles', and Kieran's array of outlandish costumes continues to impress.
The night of the Sound of Music sing-along event arrives, and Chloe is desperate to get all the gossip on what happened between Sarah and John at the quiz — and she is not disappointed. Stan urges Carol to forget her financial concerns and join in with the evening's fun, and the unveiling of the costumes goes very differently for Mary and Chloe.
Everybody is on tenterhooks wanting to know how Sarah's meeting with the literary agent went. Brenda makes Carol an offer but she has other things on her mind.
Today is the day that Carol is due to give her answer to Brenda Kiely about whether or not she will sign over the lease of the café. It is also Carol's birthday and her family, friends and Cyril's regulars have organized a surprise birthday party for her to cheer her up.
