Golf club caterers cite cost-of-living among reasons for ‘step back’
Banbridge Golf Club’s catering team have announced they are stepping back after “a very successful four years”, citing the cost-of-living crisis among their reasons.
A Facebook post from Chris and Marta who run The Clubhouse Grill said they were also “putting family first”.
Writing on September 25, they said: “Unfortunately, we decided to step back from the role of caterer at the Banbridge Golf Club. We are immensely grateful for the support we have received from members and regular visitors.
“Our decision is mainly motivated by the fact that this time we put the family first, and as you know, our head chef is expecting a baby.
“Also, the current cost of living crisis, difficulties within the wider hospitality industry regarding attracting good chefs/staff, price increases that are difficult to cover, etc, it has come to a point when we need to take a break.
“We will miss the people and the work as at this stage we are going on a long and well-deserved holiday.”
It added: “Perhaps, we said “the end” now, although that does not mean that you will not see us in gastronomy in the future …
One more time, THANK YOU for a very successful FOUR years…
Chris and Marta,
The Clubhouse Grill Team.”
