One Last Weekend — Thank You 💛

This weekend will be my last trading at Hope and Union — and then I’ll be closing the business for good. It’s not a decision I’ve taken lightly, but life has changed a lot over the past year, and it’s time for me to move on.

I can’t think of a better way to finish than SIRF. If you’re around, please come and say hi — goodbye — or just come have a laugh one last time

To everyone who’s supported us over the years: thank you. For the chats, the kind words, the loyalty, the laughter — I’ve felt every bit of it, and I’ll never forget it. It’s been a ride from global pandemics & death threats over a Sunday dinner to being top 30 in the uk for a Sunday dinner there’s been lots of ups and down but can genuinely say I’ve loved every minute of it

The business is up for sale if anyone’s interested in taking it on — just drop me a message. To [email protected]

But for now, let’s make this weekend one to remember. 💫 good vibes only with plenty of beer 🙌👌

Hi, due to unforeseen circumstances we won’t be open this evening - we’ll be back tomorrow ….sorry 🥹
