We will be closed on Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th of September. We are little short staffed at the moment and this way we can ensure that our existing staff get some days off so they can be serving you for the rest of the week 💪
Apologies for any inconvenience. See you on Wednesday from 5PM with weekly quiz at 7PM 🤓
