After many rewarding years as part of the Clontarf community, the time has come for us to say goodbye.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of such a close-knit community and to have met so many wonderful people along the journey of building and growing our business. We have been touched by the loyalty and friendship of our regulars, our team, our suppliers and our network as a whole. It has been an absolute privilege to be part of Clontarf's story and we are so grateful for our chance to contribute to it.
During our time here we have been lucky enough to welcome four beautiful children into our family and their formative years have been enriched by the kindness, warmth and sense of community that surrounds this special place. We will all miss the daily interactions with the many familiar faces but are excited to be taking some time to enjoy our family without the significant pressure of running a family business.
We are pleased to announce that from today the venue is under new management. We leave knowing that there is an exciting next chapter about to unfold.
To everyone who has supported us along the way—thank you. Your encouragement has meant more than we can express. Chris and James x
