Woky Ko has announced it will close two restaurants leaving them with just one site in Bristol. The Asian fusion restaurant made the shock announcement on social media today (Tuesday, October 25) citing the cost of living crisis and the pandemic as reasons for its decision.
The Bristol restaurant chain will close its restaurants in Wapping Wharf and Queens Road, the latter of which had only just reopened for dine-in customers in September, having previously been kept as a takeaway-only site post-Covid. However, the lunch spot in St Nicholas' Market will remain open as usual, head chef and owner, Larkin Cen, said in a statement.
"It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we will be closing our Woky Ko Queens Road and Cargo. St Nick’s will remain open as usual," Larkin wrote on Instagram.
