It’s time. Where to even start…!
We’ve been here for three years now, and the time feels right to close the door and say goodbye to this beautiful site. In a nutshell, it’s just too hard. It’s something you’ve heard by many over the last couple of years, but it really is the reality, and the recent Budget will only add to that.
Bodega has been pure joy for us, and we’ve given it everything. A project born from a passion for all things fire cooking, combined with genuine hospitality, experience-led dining and bloody good w**e. A project that will live on, just not in its current home. We chose to make Bodega’s home here as part of an exciting new development, with the hope of bringing a fresh injection of life into the area. Whether that was the right decision for this brand and concept is something we can only reflect on, but it’s a decision we stand by.
We’re going to take some time to regroup and refocus our efforts on our other brands within the Fire & W**e Group - Park Side and The Priory.
We’re also incredibly fortunate to have such a talented team behind the plates here, and we’re delighted that they’ll be continuing their journey as part of the team at The Priory.
With a huge amount of emotion, we want to say thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much for an incredible three years. It really has been a fantastic journey, filled with so many wonderful memories. From incredible one-off w**e tasting dinners to our monthly Chef’s Tasters, we hope you’ve enjoyed being part of it all as much as we have.
Our last day here will be Saturday 14th November, and we would LOVE for you to join us before then for dinner, a drink or one last w**e flight!
If you have an outstanding Bodega voucher, please don’t worry - we’ll be honouring these at either of our other sites.
Thank you again for all the love and support along the way, we’ll see you on the event scene soon 🔥
Salud!
Benito, Sophie and the Bodega team x
