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
We hope this video captures the amazing atmosphere on our last night. The night was filled with love, laughter and tears.
Until we can eat and meet again............
