So, when life is good make sure you enjoy and receive it fully.
And when life is not so good, remember that it will not last forever.
Better days are on the way. Stay safe.

It is with very heavy hearts that we made the decision to close the takeaway part of our business last night.

Our restaurant closed with the guidelines set out by the government on Friday and we made the decision initially to keep the takeaway open. 
Can we firstly take this opportunity to thank you for all of your continued support especially during the last week or so. 
We have managed to keep busy whilst trying to pivot/adapt our business to provide you with the same excellent service and food that we are renowned for.

Whilst we can control the arrangements inside of the takeaway with regard to social distancing, we didn’t anticipate that such large queues forming outside of the shop would develop as they did. 
Whilst the queues outside are certainly a positive reflection on our staff and the service/food that they provide, in this current climate and especially with regard to social distancing in the interests of public safety and the safety of our staff, we felt that we couldn’t continue.

Since opening 5 years ago, we have become part of the community of Tynemouth and the surrounding areas and we hope and pray for the benefit of us all that Covid19 is brought under control and we can open our doors to you all very soon.

Until that time, take care, stay at home and stay safe.

Thank you also to our amazing team and suppliers that have been truly supportive & flexible at this difficult time.

Until that time, take care, stay at home and stay safe.

Please follow our social media channels to keep up to date with what’s happening.

Thank you so much.
