'End of an era': Much loved Nottingham restaurant announces shock closure
The cosy eatery, known for its affordable dining experience, will host its final service on the final Saturday of the month.
A beloved restaurant in Nottingham has today announced closure at the end of November.
Sans Patrie on Alfreton Road shared their sad news on social media.
Citing pressures of a tough trading environment, the last day of service is Saturday, November 29.
The announcement said: ‘We have some sad news! We are going to have to close the doors to our beloved little restaurant at the end of this month. After years of trying to withstand the pressures of the changes in hospitality, and with the rents being high and produce expensive, we have to declare that we will be serving our last service on Saturday 29th November.
‘We are open as usual this month, so please do show support so that we can square up staff and suppliers before we say goodbye. Your support is needed as much now as ever! And for our regulars, please come and say goodbye in person. It is the end of an era and an emotional one at that for us!’
Sans Patrie is a cosy restaurant serving dishes such as ravioli with butternut squash and Derby sage cheese; and lamb fillet panzanella.
The restaurant started in 2020 as a tapas and coffee shop, just a few weeks prior to the first Covid lockdown. Taster menus and wine pairings were introduced in 2021 to offer a dining experience at an affordable price, a move by the restaurant ‘so that everybody can afford to enjoy the service and creative tastes associated with this style of eating.’
Sans patrie, translated from French means ‘without borders’ which gives a flavour of the clever, avant-garde fusion cooking that the restaurant offered.
The restaurant closes on the final Saturday of the month.
