Norberto and Karen would like to thank everyone who have supported our family run local business throughout the past 22 years.
Firstly, special thanks to our very special band of local customers who have helped make the Blacksmith’s a welcoming, enjoyable place to meet up. We would love to name you all, but you know who you are and a recent photo captured the faces who are so very special to us both. You all gave Norberto such a wonderful send off and it was so great to end on such a positive, happy note.
Many, many thanks to all our customers who have dined with us over the years. You are the ones who helped us get our good reputation for food - you put our sizzlers and Espetadas on the Island map!
It has without doubt, been a roller coaster of a few years and we are sad this has now come to an end.
But still, we are lifted by the support shown to us as we prepare to close our business.
To local small businesses who have shown enormous support to us during our closing down sale - we wish each and every one of you great success for the future.
Thank-you to everyone who visited us this week, to purchase something or to share your memories of precious time spent with family in the Red Rose or Blacksmith’s Arms.
Thank-you to all our guests who have stayed at The Oakland’s Lodge Hotel, many have remained great friends and we hope you will continue to visit our beautiful Island and help support fellow hoteliers.
Thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts.
