The owners of a Clevedon restaurant have announced their 'gut-wrenching' decision to shut - because they can’t find a chef. Dom Lamy, who owns Puro, is being forced to close on May 1 after failing to recruit a cook.
Dom, who opened Puro in 2017, says he made the difficult decision despite the restaurant having its "best year ever" in 2022. The bistro, which has welcomed celebrity diners including Jeremy Clarkson, has made it into the prestigious Trenchmans which showcases the best restaurants in the South West every year since 2019, reports Somerset Live.
“Over the years we have got busier and busier and last year we had our best year yet," said Dom. "We are not closing for commercial reasons - we simply cannot recruit chefs.
