Popular Wellington café, Chocolate Fish, is set to close on Sunday.

Café owners John and Penny Pennington like to think of the Chocolate Fish Café, as somewhat of a Mirimar institution. Operating since 1997, it had been at its current site since 2009.

Located at Shelly Bay, John said part of the cafe's attraction was that it had space for kids to run around, free parking and "pretty good" food. This month the cafe looked a little different however, with price tags littering the room with everything from the chairs and tables to the cutlery on sale.

The cafe site was bought by Sir Peter Jackson and Dame Fran Walsh in 2023.

Ah, wow. That's the end of an era....

We had a great time on their crazy array of toy bikes and scooters.

Yeah, I've been there a few times myself. It looks like some major work is being done on the building though, which is good to see.
