A Skerries restaurant has announced that it will serve customers for the last time this weekend amid rising business costs.
Lifeboat Beef and Reef is located on Harbour Road in the north Dublin town and has delighted locals with its menu of burgers, loaded fries, pizza and seafood dishes. But taking to social media today, restaurant bosses revealed that Lifeboat Beef and Reef will open for the last time Sunday, October 2, serving customers until 9pm.
Explaining the reasons for the decision to shut, they said: "We’ve had to make the difficult decision to close our doors at Lifeboat Beef and Reef, despite our best efforts. We stand with the many other small businesses across the country who have faced similar challenges with rising costs making it impossible to continue - so we have had to make the hard decision to shut up shop.

Lifeboat Beef and Reef in Skerries is among the many Dublin hospitality businesses that have announced their closures recently. A beloved cafe in Phibsborough posted a sign on its door yesterday to tell locals that it would be shutting up shop.
Meanwhile, Dorian restaurant in Donnybrook cited "devastating rising costs" as the reason for its closure.
