Announcement
After 8 successful years, Twenty Seven will be closing its doors on 23rd May.
This hasn’t been an easy decision. But after a lot of honest number-crunching, the reality is that fine dining in Kingsbridge just doesn’t stack up anymore.
It’s incredibly labour-intensive, produce costs are high, and with linen, supplies and wages all continuing to rise — there’s only so long I can keep propping it up.
At the same time, Thirty Three by the Sea is flying, and it’s made me realise that a more relaxed style of dining is what people want right now. The truth is, I don’t want to be working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, for free anymore.
I want to go out on a high.
We’ve won more awards than I ever imagined, and I’m incredibly proud of what the team and I have built here.
For the final three weeks, we’ll be running a last menu of some of our favourite classics and I'll be in the kitchen every day— a proper send-off to everything Twenty Seven has been.
Twenty Seven isn’t disappearing completely — it will continue on the road through my private events and cheffing.
23rd May will be our final day — ironically, exactly 8 years to the day since we first opened our doors.
A huge thank you to all of our customers for your support over the years, and of course to my amazing Claire, and to my incredible team.
Hopefully I’ll continue to see many of you at Thirty Three by the Sea.
