We reopened on July 23rd we have 20+ staff and not one of us have had Covid 19 no customer has been traced back to us as a source of Covid 19 this is a total farce
@niexecutive
48 hours notice is another joke, we stand to lose a fortune!!!!
On the eve of hospitality reopening in England we urge the
@niexecutive
to get NI hospitality open for business again!Reasons for keeping us all locked up are running out Over 1 million vaccinations (amazing) and numbers in hospital has tumbled. Our staff & customers are ready
I can’t serve 30 guests inside socially distanced with sanitiser on every table, staff wearing masks, screens up, max 6 persons from the same household to a table, disposable menus, track & trace for EVERY CUSTOMER, what a fucking joke.

Using hospitality venues and foodservice delivery vehicles over the next 6 weeks should seriously be considered by
@RobinSwannMoH
refidgerated lorries for deliveries and all the hospitality venues have loads of fridges to store the vaccine.

Looking like hospitality the scape goat again. We have been closed 5 weeks and the r rate still rising. The
@niexecutive
were told to lockdown everything for 6 weeks they ignored it, we now pay the price, mentally & financially. This government is flawed.

let Gove away with blue murder this morning!!!!! It’s a disgrace the BBC are allowing this to happen!! Suppose it’s the reason why Andrew Marr no longer there
We won!!!!!! A massive thank you to all our amazing customers who voted for us. The judges commented on the fabulous support you all showed with your lovely comments. In these very hard times we are all experiencing, we appreciate this award more than ever.
@mrjamesob
It’s unsustainable!!! Every day we have multiple increases. We need VAT lowered as a matter of urgency. We are a small restaurant and we employ over 20 people. We haven’t had a profit margin since covid. Essentially we are tax collectors for the government
Where it all began 17 years ago!!! People said “your mad” “it’ll never work” but with hard work & determination we made it work in Lisburn. Help from many amazing people has made it possible!!!

We are delighted to be reopening on Tuesday 21st July. We were holding out hope that our landlord would help regards rent and secure our future

we will open but we don’t know how long for.
#saynotogreedylandlords
17 years ago today we started on our journey at Square bistro…. It’s been a rollercoaster to say the least but we have built a bit of an institution in the big smoke (Lisburn) with the best customers and an awesome team to help us. Cheers to many more years 🥂

Congratulations
@niexecutive
this is what you have created with your inability to govern our country, this is an absolute scandal. We will pay the price for this with our businesses and livelihoods. Sinn Fein & DUP have a lot to answer for it unforgivable what you are doing
#mess
Don’t you just love NI!! The towns dying on its feet. Street empty but they still give out parking tickets. Pathetic & sickening you over run your stay a few minutes and this is what you get.
@lisburnccc
this needs to stop ASAP instead of spending 500k on lights give free parking
In one of the best cities of the world (Liverpool) to celebrate my daughters graduation into nursing!! Amazing job Megan you will make the best nurse EVER!!! 3 years of commitment, no pay & a massive debt over your head but I know you wouldn’t change it for the world.
#prouddad
From 6pm tomorrow we will be closed we hope it’s only for a short while. We worked hard yesterday to come up with a plan to help us get through this difficult time. So please if you can support us and help us. We urge everyone to adhere to the strict guidelines

Another absolute shambles by our so called government regards the transfer test. My 10 year old sits here this morning 4 days from her test not knowing where she stands. Hang your hands in shame. Another mess by

Our signature dish!!! It’s pretty special and been on our menu for many years. Smoked beef fillet, braised ox cheek, celeriac, mushrooms, truffle, beef dripping sourdough crumb & a rich beef jus. Served with potato dauphinois made with more beef dripping!!!

A few of you been contacting us thinking we might be closing. We are going nowhere!! We are expanding our floor space to make the restaurant as safe as possible when we are permitted to allow you back through our doors.
Time to reopen our restaurants until they can give us the data to justify us all putting our livelihoods on the line and all our staff.
#letsreopen
we are a responsible industry that cares deeply about our staff & guests we would never do anything to harm them.
#hospitalitycares
A very emotional afternoon having to tell our amazing staff that we are closing until further notice this has greatly affected our staff and plenty of tears were shed by us all. Our staff & customers are like our extended family and their health & safety is our priority. 1/2
When all this is over we will reopen with renewed vigour, a brand new menu and smiling happy faces to greet you. For now stay safe look after yourself & others.
Stevie & Cristina 2/2
We are now paying the price for scenes like this!!! NHS staff overwhelmed, no support from government for many years and trying to run an organisation which is under funded and broken. Our politicians have once again let our wee country down. Now we will all pay the price #🤯😩🤬
Congratulations

A very quiet Tuesday in Belfast today!! The hospitality industry cannot with stand much more of this without support. The constant uncertainty and mixed messaging has destroyed Christmas.
@niexecutive
the industry needs support & help ASAP
#thereservesaregone

I’m sure you all feel great🙄 Everyone can stand around and clap each other on the back in the, ‘politically correct brigade’. How about getting on with the real issues affecting people such as tackling drugs, theft and crime?
Only 2 sleeps to we swing open our doors once again in 2020 and we honestly can’t wait. We spent today getting our wee restaurant ready for you all. It’s safe!! It’s clean!! It’s ready!!
