“Ever rising costs have made financial viability impossible”
A Co Down restaurant has announced it has closed due to “ever rising costs”.
Coast in Holywood is a family-run bistro-style restaurant which was frequently voted the number one spot in the town on Tripadvisor.
Pictures of a letter from the owners circulating on social media, appearing to be on the door of the restaurant, confirmed that Coast would not reopen and thanked customers for their hospitality.

The letter reads: “It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we have permanently closed the doors of Coast today.
“It has been our joy to build relationships with our customers and we thank you for your loyalty. However, ever rising costs have made financial viability impossible.
“We have put our heart and soul (as well as our savings) into the business to give Team Coast steady employment and we thank each and every one of you for your contribution and wish you well for the future.”
It comes as another blow to the food and drink scene in Holywood after another popular restaurant, Fontana, closed its doors to customers last year.
