OSCARS AND JAMES JOYCE - EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY CLOSED.
Hi everyone, it is with a heavy heart that we are having to announce ourselves as closed.
One of the reasons that we decided to be involved in the pub business is our own sense of community and hopefully you can see this. We have raised thousands for local charities, we have sponsored local sports teams and even tomorrow we were supposed to donate 100 portions of Shepherd’s pie to the USO. It is also this sense of community that is driving us to close our doors temporarily, we have a huge age range of customers from all backgrounds and countries. We have seen people from Italy, USA, U.K., Ireland, France, Belgium, Spain etc. and in ages from >1 to 80+ in just the last 2 weeks. It would be foolish and selfish for us to encourage groups of people together so that we could profit whilst risking someone else’s health. In this unsure time we must consider the health of our colleagues, our customers and our community at a wider glance.
We are not cancelling St. Patricks day, merely postponing it and we want everyone to come and party with us at a later date.
Thank you and please stay safe.
Tom & Steph
