“We discussed it long and hard and I had made up my mind since last year,” Sean says.
“I said it last year that I wouldn’t do another Christmas in the place. In the last while, people have been coming in and taking about Christmas so we had to make the decision and we are finishing up this weekend.”
The family have thanked their loyal customers and have asked that anyone with vouchers to call in and redeem them by the close of business on Saturday.
