Morecambe cafe owners reopen popular seafront burger bar

The owners of a well-known cafe in Morecambe have taken over a popular burger bar on the seafront.

Lee and Jo Robinson, alongside Lee's brother Craig, are now running AJ's on Marine Road Central.

Lee and Jo also own Jo-n-lees cafe in the Westgate shopping precinct in Morecambe.

AJ's opened under the new management for the first time last weekend.

In future, Lee said they plan to open seven days a week, get licensed to serve alcohol, and expand the menu.

AJ's, famed for its double burgers, was a thriving takeaway in its heyday, run for many years by the Johnson family.

"I used to eat there when I was a lot younger and it was always good," said Lee.

"The opportunity came up, I went down to see it, and I thought, why not?

"I want to try to get it back to how it used to be."

Prior to opening Jo-n-Lees in 2016, Lee worked at Rita's Cafe on Marine Road for 17 years.

"It's good to get back on the Prom," he said.

"We opened for the first time on Saturday and Sunday, and I loved it, looking across the bay."

At the moment, AJ's will serve a menu of burgers, hot dogs, sausages, chips and breakfast buns, but Lee said this will expand in future.

"My plan is to get it licensed so we can serve a burger and a beer," he said.

"Then a full menu once it's open properly, of seaside food."

AJ's will next be open this Saturday from 10am.
