No. Twelve closing: Shock as popular Nottingham restaurant announces closure
The restaurant will close on May 31
A popular Nottingham restaurant has shocked customers by announcing that it will close by the end of May.
No. Twelve, at Eldon Chambers in Wheeler Gate, will close on May 31 after owners Ritchie and Lauren Stainsby confirmed the news during a video message to customers on Instagram.
The couple said: “This isn’t the news we ever wanted to share, but circumstances beyond our control mean this chapter must come to an end.
“No.Twelve has been more than just a restaurant - it’s been our passion, our home, and a space where we’ve shared unforgettable moments with all of you.
“But rather than focus on the sadness, we want to celebrate everything we’ve built together.”
Ritchie and Lauren say they want the next three months to be a time of celebration, rather than a time of sadness.
No. 12 has an impressive 4.8/5 Google rating, having won numerous awards over the past few years.
The restaurant serves a range of vegan and vegetarian dishes, including a chef's tasting menu.
As recently as last November the restaurant earned a 2024/25 Good Food Award.
