⭐ EDUARDO APPRECIATION POST ⭐

Not only is Eduardo a phenomenal waiter and manager, he’s also one of the best colleagues we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. 🧡

Steve summed it up perfectly:

“Always good here. Eduardo is the best waiter.”

Thanks, Steve — and well deserved, Eduardo! 👏

TODAY IS MALOU’S BIRTHDAY! 🎂

She might tell you she’s 21… but I think we all know she may be just a tiny bit older than that. 😉😂

Please join me in wishing Malou a massive Happy Birthday! ❤️

She works incredibly hard looking after everyone at The Ginger Italian — and I don’t just mean our customers. She looks after the whole team too.

She’s a huge part of the reason our customers love coming here, the team enjoy working here and everything somehow keeps running like clockwork.

Quite frankly, without Malou, I’m pretty sure my days at the restaurant would feel a LOT longer. 😂

So please give her loads of birthday love today…

And Malou — enjoy your birthday, have an amazing day, and then hurry up and get back to work. 😂🎉

Happy Birthday Malou ❤️
We all love and appreciate you more than you know.

🥳 MALOU’S BIRTHDAY AND AN ABSOLUTE BOMBSHELL TONIGHT 📣

It’s Friday… and Victoria Cluskey is LIVE at The Ginger Italian TONIGHT! 🎤🍊
​
We’ve still got some space available this evening, so if you fancy great Italian food, live music and a proper Friday night atmosphere, come and join us.
​
Victoria is always brilliant fun — an incredible voice, loads of personality and usually a few questionable dance moves thrown in too. 😂
​
Here's the setup:
🍽️ 3-course set menu — £45 per person
🕗 Tables from 7:45pm
🎶 Live music 9pm–midnight
🍸 Swap dessert for a cocktail if you fancy!
​
And tonight is only the beginning…
​
🎂 TOMORROW is Malou's Birthday
​
Yes, Saturday 3 October is the birthday of our very own Malou. ❤️
​
She won’t actually be in the restaurant tomorrow, so instead, why not send her a birthday email and make sure she knows how loved she is?
​
The more birthday messages she gets, the better — because secretly, we all know she absolutely LOVES the attention. 😜🎂🥂

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK 🧡

We had a comment this morning that the music was a little too loud on Tuesday evening and made conversation difficult.

So we want to ask you…

Do you ever feel the music is too loud on a weeknight? 🎶

And while we’re asking — if there’s anything else you think we could do better, tell us.

We only improve by listening to the people who actually come through our doors.

Drop your thoughts below 👇 We’re listening. 🧡

📣 USUAL MONDAY UPDATE… ON A WEDNESDAY! 😂

Better late than never — and luckily, we’ve got a BIG weekend coming up at The Ginger Italian! 🍊

🎤 FRIDAY NIGHT = VICTORIA CLUSKEY!

If you’ve seen Victoria before, you’ll know exactly what I mean…

Big voice. Huge range of songs. Even bigger personality. And some absolutely crazy dance moves. 😂💃

This is NOT background music.

This is one of those Friday nights where the whole restaurant ends up singing, dancing and joining in!

🍽️ 3 courses – £45pp
🕗 Tables from 7:45pm
🎤 Live music 9pm–midnight
🍸 Don’t fancy dessert? Swap it for a cocktail!

🔥 AND SATURDAY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS WEEK…

There’s NO Bottomless Brunch this Saturday, so we’re going back to a good old-fashioned relaxed Saturday lunch. ❤️

Bring the kids.
Bring the family.
Bring your mates.
Order some great food, a bottle of w**e and settle in for the afternoon. 🍝🍷

So whether you fancy a BIG Friday night or a chilled Saturday lunch…

We’ve got you covered.

See you soon!

What a lovely review to wake up to 🧡

Vicki first tried The Ginger Italian as a takeaway during lockdown… and now she chooses us for some of life’s special occasions. That really does mean a lot.

If you know Malou, you’ll know that’s quite an endorsement. 😄

Big vocals, brilliant songs, beautiful ballads and, as the evening gets going, plenty to get everyone singing along.

🎶 Live from 9pm until midnight
🥂 Cocktails, dinner and Friday-night atmosphere
🙌 One of our most popular singers back where he belongs

🚨 TONIGHT — JAMES DYER IS BACK! 🎤🔥

If you’ve seen James Dyer at The Ginger Italian before, you already know…

This man can seriously sing.

From huge powerhouse vocals and beautiful ballads to the songs that have the whole restaurant up on their feet later in the night, James is without doubt one of our absolute favourites — and judging by the reaction every time he performs, he’s one of yours too. ❤️

The video says it better than we ever could. 👆

🍽️ Great Italian food

SHOULD WE OPEN ON TUESDAYS? 👀🍝

A couple of days ago I asked our email subscribers whether they’d like The Ginger Italian to start opening on Tuesday evenings…

The response has been ridiculous — 156 replies in 48 hours! 😳🧡

So now I want to ask everyone on Facebook too.

If we opened on Tuesdays, would you use us?

Comment below:
✅ YES — I’d love you to open
🤔 MAYBE — nice to have the option
❌ NO — Tuesday wouldn’t work for me

We’re genuinely listening, so please tell us what you think.

❤️ SOMETIMES IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN FOOD…

One of the loveliest things about running The Ginger Italian is that over the years, so many of our customers stop feeling like customers and start feeling like part of our little restaurant family.

So when one of our regulars, Daljeet, asked if we would share what she is about to do, we were more than happy to help. ❤️

This October, Daljeet will be taking on an incredible 100km trek along the Camino de Santiago to raise money for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

She’s doing it in memory of her mum, who sadly passed away from ovarian cancer in 2020 at just 59 years old.

Daljeet speaks beautifully about how the treatment and research available gave her mum precious extra years with her family — including the opportunity to meet her first grandchild. Now she wants to give something back and help other families have more of that precious time together.

Cancer touches so many families, including many within our own Ginger Italian community.

So today, we’re simply asking you to take a moment to read Daljeet’s story.

If you’re in a position to donate, even a few pounds will help. And if you can’t, a share and a few words of encouragement would mean just as much.

Daljeet, everyone at The Ginger Italian is behind you. ❤️

100km is no small challenge — but what a wonderful reason to take every single one of those steps.

Good luck. We’ll be cheering you on all the way. 🇮🇹❤️🥾
