Restaurant cuts prices to attract customers in last-ditch attempt to keep business going

A restaurant that has been running for just over four years is making a last-ditch attempt to try and get people through its doors, or it will have to close for good. They have done all they can to avoid upping the costs during the cost of living crisis, and now they’re cutting 10% off people’s bills to make up for inflation.

The family-run Dockside Bar and Grill in Porthcawl has been open since November, 2018, and has around 11 members of staff. The restaurant’s owner, Julia Jones said: “People are not coming out- they can’t afford to come out. But we need a certain amount coming in to keep people in their jobs.

“Giving them an extra 10% off might encourage them to pay a visit but people have really been struggling. They’ve not been able to hold their birthday or Christmas meals here as they normally might because they just haven’t got the money there.
