It is with great sadness that we inform you that the bell has now tolled for The Hispanist. It’s been an incredibly difficult 5 years, pretty much the worst 5 years to own and run a restaurant in the history of owning and running restaurants, but this last year has been the hardest of them all.

I could list the numerous reasons that have lead to our closure, from increased costs to being taxed into submission and many more, but I’m sure you’re all aware of them.

Due to the upcoming budget; hospitality, once again, is expected to charge you all more, at a time when people have even less. There is nothing hospitable about that.
More than any of those reasons, the toll it has taken on me both physically and mentally, as well as on my family have become too much to bear.

It’s been a dream come true to own a restaurant and serve the food I love to my fellow Hull folk and to the people that came from far and wide. The fact we released a cookbook still blows my mind 🤯

However difficult it has been, it has been a period of my life I’m glad of. I’ll be forever grateful to the people that supported us and to all of my teams that worked so hard to help us achieve everything we did.

The Hispanist has been an immense learning curve that I will carry into my next venture, whatever that may be.
I’m not sad that it’s over, I’m happy that it happened. I’m happy I can look at myself in the mirror and say “I tried”.
For now, it’s time regather my long-lost marbles and spend some much needed time with my family, and maybe pop-up here and there…

I’ll leave you with a quote by my musical hero: I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring… ⚡️

See you all in the next chapter.
