Shock over closure of two restaurants in Weymouth
The owners of Crustacean and The Loft say it's due to difficult trading
Two Weymouth restaurants have been forced to close due to difficult trading conditions.
The owners of Crustacean in St Mary's Street and The Loft on Custom House Quay have issued a statement on Crustacean's Facebook Page.
In it they say:
"To clear up all rumours and speculation it is with deep regret that I inform everyone that it is correct that we unfortunately won’t be reopening here at Crustacean or at our sister restaurant The Loft.
"We had hoped to push through these hard times and into another busy season but that has not prevailed.
"We have had lots of fun across the two years between the two places and have loved meeting the new faces and of course the regulars but that has now unfortunately got to come to an end with how seasonal Weymouth has become and the current economy."
The statement ends by them saying they hope that someone will be able to take over the restaurants and 'blossom them back into success.'
