| I was concerned to see an article in yesterday's Standard (with the above headline)stating that scores of London restaurants are facing closure next month as the recession hits home and they are unable to make rent payments due in April. As a restaurateur, I know how difficult it. VAT, corporation tax, salaries, PAYE, gas, electric, water, refuse, rates, rent, suppliers. At times is seems it's nothing but bills, bills, bills. We have already seen some excellent establishments closing in Acton, Ealing and Chiswick. Unfortunately, many more will follow. However we and many other local restaurants are fighting back! We know that customers have to be more careful with their money now. So here's some hints - Check websites (or phone in) to check special offers or promotions. Do they offer discounts during the week? Free delivery on take-aways or discount on collection? Free birthday cake for birthday parties or promotional gift? Do they have special eat-all-you-can buffet nights? Entertainment evenings? Do they cater for weddings and parties and throw in discos and dj for free? Perhaps forum members can list their favourite restarants here with details of special offers. We hope that restaurants and local small shops and businesses can ride the storm. The hight street is going to be a sad sight otherwise. David Archer |
