In the middle of summer?!

It was almost a month ago. I think it was cold and raining that day.

All good here everyone.

Back open this week, we didnt want to rush re opening. All positive so far and similar booking throughout the week that their was pre lockdown so we cant complain. Business is for sale for half price to the fact we are ready to move onto our next venture. We will of course still put our hearts into the place as we have from day one!

Regarding the financial side, the books can be viewed but yes we take a salary. It is a extremely healthy business and can continue with the right people. It is a bargain of a business and to be honest it is bad for Sunderland as a whole if no body can see the potential. We also must say we would stay for a period of time to make sure a great transition was made as we would love nothing more than to see the place continue and if not improve in the future. This is out of respect for any new owners and the customers.

Too much work and heart has gone into the place to walk away!

Thanks everyone and yes there is more interest now at the 75k price so hopefully things move on. Take care

If those net profits are after your salaries then it's a huge bargain for someone.

Good luck Jimmy.

Superb mate, I’ve never had beef as tender and as tasty as that. They’re gonna be a massive miss when they move on

Definitely. He's the best chef this side of the Tyne. At least until the tees anyway!

We were there on Thursday. Was absolutely topper. They are doing the early bird menu all day Wed/Thurs in October and November if people are looking for somewhere. It's ridiculous value.

The best food in town at silly prices.

I have been 3 times and i really dont see what the fuss is
It is decent and no more than that
I live abroad and i have been to many top class restaurants
I was not impressed by the menu or the ambience
what would you recommend from the current menu?

Give over. Its very good food at very fair prices.

As per previous poster I've also dined in the finest restaurants in the word. Yes that's tongue in cheek.

If I go back north I go there.

Found it a bit underwhelming on the couple times I’ve been. The wankathon on here is to blame.
