A popular Italian restaurant which has been closed for 20 months is finally reopening its doors. Dinnerstone, in Uppermill, made the decision to close the shutters back in May 2021, with staff moving to the owner's other business, The White Hart Inn.
After a difficult period that saw the head chef leave and a sous chef falling ill, owners were forced to make the difficult decision to close Dinnerstone, expecting it to only be for a matter of months.
But, as recruiting staff continued to be a real struggle for all hospitality businesses, the Italian restaurant has remained closed ever since, but their sister business The White Hart Inn has continued to be booming, following a temporary rebrand and transformed menu during Covid restrictions.
