Church St cafe Barley and Colyton’s Ginger Bird, meanwhile, have taken advantage of being smaller and less set in their ways to adapt to hospitality under the shadow of Covid-19. David Unwin/Stuff Alice Little says taking over the Ginger Bird just before the first lockdown has worked out OK, all things considered. Colyton cafe owner Alice Little took over the Ginger Bird in February. “People are keen to support local, so we’re doing pretty good considering.”Ginger Bird received the wage subsidy for seven staff. David Unwin/Stuff Barley Cafe owner Matt McNelis says newer and smaller business can be more adaptable in dealing with Covid-19.
