A letter from international law firm Evershed Sutherland reads: ‘We are instructed by Language Specialist International Limited, your landlord at the above property pursuant to the lease between Language Specialists International Limited and Le Cafe Parisien.

‘We confirm that in view of your failure to pay the rent due under the lease, our client has peaceably re-entered the property and taken possession. The lease has therefore been forfeited.’

Those that run the cafe have been given 21 days to collect any of their goods at the property before they are disposed of.

The popular student cafe is based right in the heart of Portsmouth’s university quarter and is well-loved by students and residents alike.
