It was with much sadness I read that The Mock Turtle is due to close (The Argus, January 9).

It was a place of charm and calm in an increasingly bland, corporate, glass-and-chrome Brighton.

And boy, did it do great cakes.

I hope a visionary entrepreneur buys the business and lets it continue untouched.

Failing that, we could always have another corporate coffee chain.
