and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
A unit at Bass Rock Business Park, Station Road St Monan, has been home to the business since 2021 with no problems.
With a new tenant on board, Paisley based Bell Mac Rock Ltd is seeking retrospective planning permission for the change of use and outlined its proposed opening hours and the type of food it will sell.

Although there is no designated parking spaces for the café included within the site area, the business park as a whole has ample parking and is conveniently located for pedestrians and cyclists.
A supporting statement, submitted as part of the application, said: “The café has been visited periodically by Fife Council’s environmental health team which have raised no concerns about ventilation, odour or noise. Following a change in tenant it is proposed that the café be open from 9:00am to 3.30pm seven days a week. It is proposed to sell hot and cold drinks, and hot and cold foods including sandwiches/paninis, soup, pastries and cakes. No deep fat frying is proposed.” Councillors will consider the application in due course.
