Bury: It’s a tough time for the Crowded House. After ten years, this beloved spot is closing its doors. Johanne and Dave Banks, the owners, are heartbroken.

They shared their struggles in a heartfelt post. The rising costs and tough trading conditions have made it impossible to keep going. It’s a familiar story for many small businesses these days.

The Crowded House was more than just a restaurant. It was a cozy gathering place for locals. The atmosphere was always warm, filled with laughter and good food.

I remember driving by and seeing the fairy lights twinkling. It always looked inviting. So, I decided to visit before they closed. I wanted to support them one last time.

When I arrived, the place felt so welcoming. The decor was lovely, and the smell of fresh coffee filled the air. The staff greeted me with smiles, making me feel right at home.

I ordered a full English breakfast. It was delicious! The sausages were top-notch, and the toast was perfectly warm. For £13.50, it was a great deal.

Sadly, the owners announced their closure with heavy hearts. They thanked their loyal customers for the support over the years. They really tried to keep the business going, but the odds were against them.

Their message was clear: support local businesses. If we don’t, we might lose more places like the Crowded House. It’s a reminder of how important it is to shop and eat local.

I wish I had visited more often. Losing such a friendly spot is a real shame. It’s a loss for the community, and I hope we can all do our part to keep local businesses alive.
