A Didsbury restaurant has called it a day after 13 years
Mary and Archie on Burton Road posted the news on social media saying that the last two years had been impossibly tough for the industry adding that they had hung on for as long as they could hoping things would get better
In a statement they said
We write this with a heavy dose of mixed emotions – massive sadness but also huge amounts of gratitude. Mary & Archie Burton Rd is now closed for good. Many regulars will know that we made the decision to put the place on the market some time ago. It wasn’t what we wanted, but we just couldn’t carry on anymore. The last 2 years have been impossibly tough for this industry. We hung on as long as we could hoping things would get better and it didn’t so here we are.
But, we don’t want this message to be all doom and gloom. We have loved being a part of Burton Road – watching it evolve over the last 13 years, whilst also being a part of that evolution has been a privilege and we have no regrets. We have met some of the most wonderful people along the way – many of whom remain firm friends. We have seen romances blossom at 200 Burton Rd and been many a table name or speech mention at regulars’ weddings. We will take those special memories and cherish them.
This isn’t the end for us. As you know we have another site @maryandarchiechorlton and we would absolutely LOVE to see you all over there – give us a follow while you’re at it. You’ll see familiar faces and dishes over there and we will be taking the jazz over with us too. I’ll quit rambling now, but lastly and as always, from the bottom of our hearts, thank-you to everyone who came in over the past 13 years. BIG LOVE EVERYONE.
Elli, Bev, Tom, Jonny and the whole M&A team. xxxx
