A popular bar/restaurant in Shirehamptonhas been forced to close because of “external factors that continue to impact small businesses”.
The Hideaway Bar & Kitchen on Shirehampton Road closed at the beginning of January. It said: “Since we embarked on this adventure in 2019, we have faced unprecedented challenges, from Brexit to a cost of living crisis (and not forgetting the small issue of a global pandemic in the middle somewhere), all of which have placed immense strain on our operation.”
Manager, Óðinn Ward, said, “Over the years, this little place has grown into something so much more than a business—it became a community, a home, and a family. And that’s because of all the customers. Each one brought laughter, joy, and warmth into our lives, and saying goodbye feels like letting go of something truly irreplaceable.”
