Fulgoni’s – the last day


The Fulgoni family have been a deep-rooted part of the fabric of Porthcawl for generations. After moving to the area in 1926,  they initially sold ice cream from a horse-drawn cart on Coney Beach, and then after several shops and kiosks settled into their cafe premises FULGONI’S. After almost a century, the family made the decision to close their doors for the last time on 09/08/2024. They were kind enough to allow me to come in and capture a part of this (emotional) final morning for both the family and their customers.

  1. what a moving tribute to a Porthcawl staple. My first job was working for the Fulgoni family in the Rest Bay cafe, such wonderful memories of my time there and visiting the main Cafe with my family growing up. The photographers are beautiful and encapsulates the memories of this wonderful family business, thank you x
