A restaurant in Preston has announced its upcoming closure
Customers have been left ‘absolutely devastated’ after a restaurant in Preston has announced it will be closing doors for the final time.
Seitanic, located on Market Street West, Preston, will be shutting down in a matter of months due to ‘rising costs’ and it no longer being viable for them to remain open, bosses have said.
The vegan kebab and street food restaurant currently has another site in Blackpool, inside Abingdon Street Market, the future of which hasn’t been mentioned in the announcement.

In a post on Facebook, Seitanic owners have written: “IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! It is with a very heavy heart that we’re going to be saying goodbye to the city of Preston and the amazing team at Chews Yard.
“This isn’t a decision that has come lightly but in an ecomony of rising costs, it just isn’t viable anymore for us continue. We’ve met so many wonderful people over the years and served a staggering amount of plant based goodness.”
In a message direct to Seitanic customers, the owners wrote: “Thank you to all those who came down to support us, you’ll be dearly missed. We’re here until the end of July, with the last day being 02/08 so be sure to come down and give us some choice words.
“This definitely isn’t the end of the Seitanic crew and we’ve got some exciting things planned for the future so stay tuned!”
The note was signed ‘much love’, from Jordan, James and Shannon.
