“It’s been a privilege to work with and serve so many wonderful people over the years but the time has come to make space for other things in our lives. Thank you all for all your support.”
The popular pub and restaurant will soon reopen rebranded. Three’s A Crowd, the Michelin recommended modern gastro pub, is taking on the venue - based in North Street.
Spread over two floors, the new Three’s A Crowd venue will seat up to 82 diners. In homage to its roots, Three’s A Crowd will also continue to serve The Reliance Blonde ale on tap.
John Quinlan, owner of Three’s A Crowd, said: “The whole Three’s A Crowd team is so excited to throw open our doors to our first guests at the end of the month. Bookings for March are filling up fast, so to avoid disappointment, make sure to book now here.
