I think my wife was your last customer - she was touched by your generosity. It makes me sad to see another service to Silsden's public disappearing.
I expect the UU roadworks can't have made things easy for you. I think the valuable thing I've learned today is that as a town we should all be supporting the businesses on our doorstep and standing up to the big corporations.
Good luck - we'll miss you. |

So sorry to see you go. I've been in several times and always had great food and service. My wife and I came to one of your special themed nights and it was excellent. The best of luck to you. |

Chris, serious question, are you thinking of selling?
If so, what assets are yours?
(Not serious - I'm thinking of opening Silsden,s first Tuna, Dolphin and Whale steak bar) |

Hi - i am a bit busy over the next few days but if you call me on Tuesday evening or Wednesday, I can discuss it with you. Yes it is leasehold and yes most of the fixtures and fittings are included. I have an interested party but I will know by Tuesday if he/she is buying or not! The price is quite low! Just use the number above. |

Thats not very good, I'm not sure that we would have used the cafe as much if it wasnt for Sam and Kaths churpy smiles in a morning!. |

The staff in the cafe were the owners biggest asset.
To not pay their final wage or redundancy pay is an indication of the owner ignoring employment law and I hope they take him to a tribunal.
