27 people didn’t turn up for their confirmed bookings last night, I’m not sure people realise but this is make or break for us, the maximum we can & want to trade at is 75% to keep everyone safe, when 27 people of that 75% can’t be arsed turning up or even let us know with a call

Just had a meeting with all our managers & chefs, no one in the company is losing their fucking job because of this bastard virus, how this all plays out we don’t know but we’d never be able to live with ourselves if we abandon our friends, if that means I sell my house, so be it

We used to turn 60-70 people away on a weekend night but those days have long gone, please, please, please let us know if you’re not going to turn up, we will love you for it as it gives us a chance to fill that spot, our livelihoods depend on people doing the right thing! x

Then that leaves us with 2 options, stay as we are and struggle and maybe close for good or we start taking credit card details for every booking and charging for no shows which we’ve never wanted to do but things have changed completely from March

A few thoughts on where we are at now: we closed in March ahead of the official lockdown as the health of our colleagues and guests was the most important thing. Closing was painful for us all, mentally and financially, unsure wether we’d have a business to return to.
