About

Three generations of a family play host to customers at a seafront cafe in this warm and funny observational comedy. We revisit the lives of Sarah, a struggling writer who moved back home after her London life fell apart, her divorced mum Carol who owns the cafe, and grandmother Mary, a broad-minded soul who's now moved on from knitting to tweeting.
