OK that's it. The Keightley's have left the building!! The Willow Restaurant & Tea Rooms is now in the hands of Dell and Rob Abbott. They will be closed for a few days but being the busy bees that they are, there's a few refurb changes and they will be back open for you all this Saturday. Look out for a possible new 8am opening time and back open on Sundays 9am. I'll confirm all this by Friday with a possible link to their new page. Please support them folks, it's all about you.

Hello Hello. OK, the time may be here for us to say goodbye. We are 99% sure that Monday (16th) will be our last trading day as custodians of The Willow, Alford. We are open 9-2 tomorrow (sat), closed on sunday and open 9-4 Monday. There will of course be a reduced menu as our stock will be depleted but please do feel free to pop in to say goodbye. We are staying in Alford as we love it here. Thank-you SO MUCH everyone for all your love and support during our time at The Willow. X######xx heartbreaking, but life sends lemons...etc....etc....
Edit: The new owners, Dell and his dad Rob are hoping to be closed only a few days while they prepare. I'll help by posting their opening day and info. ###

Hi All. We're fully booked for our final steak night on 22nd Jan. I'll shout if we have a cancellation.
We would like to thank you All for your support of our little tea rooms and steak nights. We have made great friends and are looking forward to a slightly slower pace where we can enjoy the Willow's hospitality in its new ownership.###xx
