The town’s hospitality industry needs your continued backing to tackle the perfect storm
Since the start of March when the Help Our Hospitality campaign was first launched, we have heard the story of at least one different hospitality venue each week.
Whether a business is on the up or still tackling the perfect storm as it has been described by many, we have been lucky enough to get an insight into the town’s versatile hospitality industry.
The first of the final two businesses, under the same ownership, is Velvet Room in St Giles’ Street. Described as the more vibrant and higher end choice of the two by the owner, it celebrated its first year open in July. Offering a unique dining and cocktail experience, with dry ice theatrics when staff members make the drinks, it has proved a popular choice in the town centre. Photo: Velvet Room
The newer of the two is Bridge 26, which opened in Bridge Street in April and offers a more social alternative with a daytime DJ. The venue caters for all, but especially medium to large group sizes as it is known as the place to go for hen do and birthday party celebrations. Indulgent smash burgers, steaks and small plates are available to purchase. Photo: Bridge 26 Bar & Bites
