Unfortunately, this isn’t the update we were hoping to share. Due to the ongoing major incident affecting Kent, we currently have no running water and are therefore unable to legally open the cafe.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. At this time, we’re unable to provide a confirmed reopening date, but we will continue to keep our page and the relevant parties updated as soon as we receive further information.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the start to the year we at Monk Lakes Cafe were hoping for and sadly we won’t be opening this weekend Saturday 10th January and Sunday 11th January.

Since our last update, the lakes remain frozen, which has also led to matches being cancelled. We hope everyone is staying safe wherever you are.

At this stage, we’re hoping to open on Wednesday 14th January 2026, weather and lake conditions permitting. We’ll continue to keep you updated as soon as we receive further information.

Thank you for your continued support.

🥂We would like to wish all our new and regular customers a Happy New Year as we start to welcome in 2026!🥂

As the temperatures continue to drop, we’d like to remind everyone to stay safe and keep warm while fishing.

Due to the lakes sadly being frozen over and matches being cancelled, we will not be opening on Wednesday 7th January 2026.

Instead, we’ll be reopening on Saturday 10th January 2026 at our usual opening time of 07:00.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you back once conditions improve. Stay safe and warm everyone!
