Coffee loving couple upgrade cafe from tricycle to shipping container
Lucy Grantham and Billy Gurney had their busiest day on Sunday since opening their business in July.
It was a different set-up from those long days of summer, with their business, Can’t Dance Coffee, now serving food and drink out of a shipping container rather than from the front of a tricycle.
“Welcome to our new home,” Lucy told a regular customer on Monday morning, between making coffees on the same machine as before, just now within four metal walls.
is needed now More than ever
Can’t Dance Coffee serves coffee roasted by Girls Who Grind in Wiltshire, made predominantly with oat milk but with dairy milk if a customer asks.
They also sell flapjacks and brownies made in the kitchen of the Lansdown pub only a few hundred yards away.

Lucy and Billy remain in their original corner of Victoria Square in Clifton, with their new home receiving a bespoke fit-out especially for their needs, and now with power that will hopefully enable the pair to make soups and paninis in the future.
“We have been so touched with how supportive everyone has been towards us,” Billy told Bristol24/7.
“It would have been a real shame to stop it because of the weather and we are so pleased with how everything has gone so far.”
