It is with a heavy heart we are now at the point in time to ask for your help. We were reluctant to have to use crowd funding and thought we could get by with support from the community, government and local council. Nearly one year on we are close to not being able to survive and continue as a business.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain landscape for millions of small businesses, which is going to make it very challenging for businesses to survive. We therefore need your help. All of our business overheads remain and require payment in full each month. We also need to ensure our 5 part time staff members retain their furlough pay in which we pay in full up front each week / month. What ever is left goes to the owners... as you can imagine this is not a lot and sometimes nothing.
Our aim was to create a bar which was a community hub, a meeting place for friends and a good place to make new friends. We strive to introduce new and hard to find products from small suppliers from all over Yorkshire and more recently the UK. We pride ourselves on quality in all aspects but most of all supplying everyone who visits with some banter, a friendly smile and hopefully trying something new.
Thank you all for your continued support and kind words.
