Cleaver Closure

It is with great sadness that we have had to close Cleaver Restaurant.

In December Chris McWilliams the chef and co owner was diagnosed with a serious illness. He is expected to make a full recovery, but the treatment will be long and hard.

Chris has been unable to work from January and we have made a valiant effort to keep the restaurant going without him, but unfortunately it is just not possible to continue without Chris at the helm. The restaurant will now be closed permanently.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported Cleaver, we will miss you all.

🎣 NEW ARRIVAL: The Big Fish (Yes, that one)
We’re thrilled to announce the latest addition to our upcoming auction lineup — none other than Belfast’s own Big Fish sculpture. 🐟

After years on the riverbank, she’s ready for a new home — and we’ve been working behind the scenes to make it happen. Transported this morning (carefully), she’s now resting outside the shop while we prepare her for viewing.

📍Viewing opens this week
💸 Bidding by private appointment only
📑 Full provenance available
🐠 Not suitable for indoor aquariums

🖼 Estimated value: £145,000 – £175,000

Comparable to other large-format ceramic and mosaic public artworks from the late 20th century, The Big Fish stands as a unique fusion of local storytelling and large-scale urban art. A rare opportunity to acquire a true piece of Belfast’s cultural fabric.

Whether you're a serious collector or just need somewhere dramatic to park your koi, this is one auction you won't want to miss.
