Another Derry restaurant has announced that it is due to close.
Social Studio, on Bishop Street, announced its impending closure on social media this afternoon.
The post states that the popular restaurant is due to close because of rising cost.
The post reads: "This isn’t one of our usual posts but one that we unfortunately need to make.
"Due to the rising costs of goods, electric, wages etc, Social Studio will unfortunately be closing. This is not a decision that was made lightly, in fact quite the opposite. We have put our hearts and souls into Social Studio for the past year and I’ve crossed paths with many wonderful people.
"I want to thank everyone that came to visit and our wonderful staff but for me right now, it just wasn’t the right timing unfortunately. I’ve had to put things into perspective and this resulted in coming to the conclusion of closing Social Studio.
"Hospitality is a tough industry, one that I can say I’ve tried but now that this book is closed, I want to urge anyone to support local and small businesses where and when possible. It might not be a big deal to you but it’s a game changer for them.
"Those with vouchers, please email info@socialstudiorestaurant.com so we can inform you regarding these.
"Adios people and many thanks again x".
Social Studio is the latest city eatery to close in recent months.
