The owners of Gastrono-me in Bury St Edmunds have announced its closure after 13 years in the town.
Originally located on St John’s Street, the restaurant expanded into larger premises on Abbeygate Street in 2018.
In a statement the owners said: “To all of you who have eaten, drunk, sung and celebrated with us over the last thirteen years we would like to say the deepest, biggest, heartfelt THANK YOU. You have made our building vibrate with joy and for that we will always be grateful.
“We are immensely proud of what we’ve achieved, but a wise man once said, “the skill in attending a party is knowing when it’s time to leave”. And as much as we love to hear those corks popping, we know it’s our time, and to close the doors for good.
“We know it’s sudden, but we want there to be NO mistaking the fact that EVERYONE will be paid. ALL of our fabulous team, and ALL of our loyal suppliers.
“And ALL of you who have placed party deposits with us, booked karaoke, or have outstanding vouchers.
