👋🏽 BYE BYE BB 👋🏽
Writing this post certainly wasn’t what we had planned for 2024, but here we are. BB is closing.
There are so many factors as to why we are in this position right now and to put a definitive reason on it is too difficult. For some transparency, however, the industry (from our opinion) is in an unsustainable loop, prices are constantly going up and up and we just simply can’t keep up with it anymore. The margins are wafer thin and although on the outside we looked (and were) crazy busy and it looked as if we were making loads of money, the truth is, the money is tight so support these small businesses while you can - even if it costs a bit more. Things are tough for all right now, but every time one of these little businesses go, we lose another dash of colour from the canvas. It’s imperative we buy and support local, where we can, of course.
What we would love to say though, on a more positive note, is that this has been a truly life changing experience for all of us involved, we have learned so much about ourselves in this last three years and have made ourselves more proud than we ever thought we would have. To make something that has had such an impact on so many peoples lives, through our food and the soul we put into it, is incredible. From starting in our little kitchen on our little cobbled street to gambling that we were going to be able to quadruple our turnover overnight to make the restaurant work, to, at one point, having 14 members of staff, our own cocktail bar, a booming events business, a venture into the lovely city of Bath and most importantly friends made, wive’s found and generally incredible memories created - we can walk away with our heads held high.
One last time, we would like to thank EVERYONE from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us throughout this journey. Our incredible friends and families who have helped in the masses. You are amazing and we are eternally grateful.
See you on the other side 🧡
BB 👊🏼
