They said that they are leaving Thorp Street “with our heads held high knowing we did our best and we still are the best.”
Taking to Instagram, The Meat Shack posted today, Sunday, April 13: “It had to happen someday, and sadly that day is today! Our little ‘pop up’ is coming to an end after 8 years.
“The shack will be closing its Thorp Street doors on Saturday, 10th May. “We managed to survive covid and all the latest ups and downs of running a small business in this mad world we are all now living in, but this one is out of our hands, the lease has come to an end and the site is up for demolition/redevelopment so our time here has finally ran its course. “It’s been a mad eight years here and we can’t express our thanks enough to every single customer/friend that has passed through the shack doors over those years “Also a massive thanks to all our amazing team over the years, we’ve been blessed with some absolute belters and I’m sure most of you reading will agree our staff have been a massive credit and formed the basis of what the shack is.
“Big love to our current team Blake, Sonny, Jenni and Dev who will be smashing them out for you until the end.
“We are leaving Thorp Street with our heads held high knowing we did our best and we still are the best.
“We’re not exactly sure what this means for the Meat Shack ATM as we haven’t managed to find a new home yet…
“Any ideas/suggestions drop them in a comment.
“It’s going to be a few more mad weeks here while we sort all this out, so please bear with us. It would be great to see all you guys down the shack for one last Mr C or Rnb. Or just come down grab a beer, drink us dry and say goodbye!
“We will be behind the bar or in the kitchen crying a lot.
“Either way we will be there until 10.05.25.
“Cheers, thanks for everything Paul & Cat x x x
