The Government has moved London into Tier 3 resulting in the closure, once again, of Restaurants and Bars across the south-east. We, like you, are devasted by this. Just as we were back in our stride, and enjoying welcoming Regulars, Neighbours and Friends, old and new, back through the doors of Rules, we sadly have had to close those doors once again.
I appreciate the disappointment this causes, especially at this time of year. All at Rules want to thank you for your continued support, without you, we wouldn’t be here. To our Suppliers who have been there for us throughout this disastrous year, a huge thank you.
A special, heartfelt thanks to our incredible Team of dedicated people at Rules who have endured this year, stuck by us and continued to raise their game as soon as the call came through to re-open. You are the best there is.
To you our much valued Guests and Friends, as soon as we can, we will open again and look forward to welcoming you back to Rules.
2020 is not a year we will quickly forget. A year when lives and livelihoods have been lost. We offer our sincerest condolences to those who have lost friends and loved ones as this pandemic continues to affect all our lives. In the meantime, please take care, stay safe and enjoy Christmas as best you can.
In the words of Dame Vera Lynn, “We’ll meet again………”
