Unthank deli closes

A popular cafe/deli/ restaurant on Unthank Road has closed. But other parties have already expressed an interest in taking over 103.

A sign on the door to 103 thanks customers for their support since opening 3 years ago. Neighbouring businesses on Unthank Road expressed surprise at the cafe’s closure, commenting that they always seemed to have a steady stream of customers, bringing a “buzz” to the street. The venue was recommended in this year’s Michelin Guide.

But according to Chris Williams from McTear, Williams and Wood, a business rescue and insolvency firm who’ve been brought in, 103 had to close down because they were making losses: “Although the business was really successful, the company will probably go into liquidation in about a week’s time. We’re currently looking at ways to re-open it.”

He added a number of interested parties had already be in touch: “There may well be scope for something to rise out of the ashes.”

Anyone who is interested in opening a restaurant or investing in the premises should contact Sarah Townshend at McTear, Williams and Wood on 01603 877540.

How on earth did this place go under ?
With the average meal for 2 with vino costing roughly 70-100 pounds, and the place was rammed every night you attempted to get a table god knows how this place had to close its doors.

it went under because the owners had no idea how to run it . everyday they would have 5 chefs working the kitchen , even if they weren’t busy. the would use stock from their shop in the menu , but not account for it . just take a look at some of the old reviews on tripadvisor .
