Good morning everyone,
It comes with great sadness this morning to have to announce will be closing as of Saturday the 14th, which is two weeks out.
I wasn’t expecting after such a short time in business again to have to close.
Rising costs on every level have put us in the position no one wants to be in. Somehow I thought this time around would be different. When I tell you we worked tirelessly to bring this type of food back after shutting the first time, would be an understatement.
We’ve valued the generosity and support of the team at the Oakbank for giving us a roof over our heads and a great kitchen to work in. Their efforts in a community setting to provide a warm, comfortable and inviting environment should never be in vain and I hope that you continue to support their endeavours within the community. They’re doing a good thing in case you haven’t realised.
It’s a difficult thing to have a passion for doing something you’ve worked to become good at and in the same sense bordering insanity for wanting to do it. I dare say no one that works in a kitchen doesn’t have those same thoughts. It is truly a labour of love.
Most of all I want to thank my dedicated staff who as always worked through my “creative” whims of menu items that I thought would make people happy, which was always my goal.
I also want to thank our valued guests who came back and continue to support us through this last venture, and our new customers, I hope you found value and joy in what we provided.
I’m gutted to say the least but I’ll look forward to the next two weekends and ensure we provide the best food and service we can to you all.
Sincerely
Mark x
