⭐ EDUARDO APPRECIATION POST ⭐

Not only is Eduardo a phenomenal waiter and manager, he’s also one of the best colleagues we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. 🧡

Steve summed it up perfectly:

“Always good here. Eduardo is the best waiter.”

Thanks, Steve — and well deserved, Eduardo! 👏

TODAY IS MALOU’S BIRTHDAY! 🎂

She might tell you she’s 21… but I think we all know she may be just a tiny bit older than that. 😉😂

Please join me in wishing Malou a massive Happy Birthday! ❤️

She works incredibly hard looking after everyone at The Ginger Italian — and I don’t just mean our customers. She looks after the whole team too.

She’s a huge part of the reason our customers love coming here, the team enjoy working here and everything somehow keeps running like clockwork.

Quite frankly, without Malou, I’m pretty sure my days at the restaurant would feel a LOT longer. 😂

So please give her loads of birthday love today…

And Malou — enjoy your birthday, have an amazing day, and then hurry up and get back to work. 😂🎉

Happy Birthday Malou ❤️
We all love and appreciate you more than you know.

🥳 MALOU’S BIRTHDAY AND AN ABSOLUTE BOMBSHELL TONIGHT 📣

It’s Friday… and Victoria Cluskey is LIVE at The Ginger Italian TONIGHT! 🎤🍊
​
We’ve still got some space available this evening, so if you fancy great Italian food, live music and a proper Friday night atmosphere, come and join us.
​
Victoria is always brilliant fun — an incredible voice, loads of personality and usually a few questionable dance moves thrown in too. 😂
​
Here's the setup:
🍽️ 3-course set menu — £45 per person
🕗 Tables from 7:45pm
🎶 Live music 9pm–midnight
🍸 Swap dessert for a cocktail if you fancy!
​
And tonight is only the beginning…
​
🎂 TOMORROW is Malou's Birthday
​
Yes, Saturday 3 October is the birthday of our very own Malou. ❤️
​
She won’t actually be in the restaurant tomorrow, so instead, why not send her a birthday email and make sure she knows how loved she is?
​
The more birthday messages she gets, the better — because secretly, we all know she absolutely LOVES the attention. 😜🎂🥂

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK 🧡

We had a comment this morning that the music was a little too loud on Tuesday evening and made conversation difficult.

So we want to ask you…

Do you ever feel the music is too loud on a weeknight? 🎶

And while we’re asking — if there’s anything else you think we could do better, tell us.

We only improve by listening to the people who actually come through our doors.

Drop your thoughts below 👇 We’re listening. 🧡

📣 USUAL MONDAY UPDATE… ON A WEDNESDAY! 😂

Better late than never — and luckily, we’ve got a BIG weekend coming up at The Ginger Italian! 🍊

🎤 FRIDAY NIGHT = VICTORIA CLUSKEY!

If you’ve seen Victoria before, you’ll know exactly what I mean…

Big voice. Huge range of songs. Even bigger personality. And some absolutely crazy dance moves. 😂💃

This is NOT background music.

This is one of those Friday nights where the whole restaurant ends up singing, dancing and joining in!

🍽️ 3 courses – £45pp
🕗 Tables from 7:45pm
🎤 Live music 9pm–midnight
🍸 Don’t fancy dessert? Swap it for a cocktail!

🔥 AND SATURDAY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS WEEK…

There’s NO Bottomless Brunch this Saturday, so we’re going back to a good old-fashioned relaxed Saturday lunch. ❤️

Bring the kids.
Bring the family.
Bring your mates.
Order some great food, a bottle of w**e and settle in for the afternoon. 🍝🍷

So whether you fancy a BIG Friday night or a chilled Saturday lunch…

We’ve got you covered.

See you soon!

Malou and the team 🧡
