THANK YOU 🚴‍♂️

One month since we had to close our doors.....the picture on the left shows the love and support in the restaurant on the closing night and the left is the day we handed the keys over.

We were given 10 days notice from the council and the building has been standing empty for 1 month. We are saddened that we were not granted the opportunity to trade for this extra time and to keep staff employed.

30 days since the keys were handed over and we are still no further forward with a relocation from the council.

The doors are closed but we don't want to be forgotten

18 photos from an emotional farewell.
Luciano will remain in our hearts forever and we thank you all for the lovely memories.
