What a 4 months it has been!!
There has been so much lost to so many that there is talk of a collective post trauma effect!
In these days of such uncertainty the only thing we can be certain of is the uncertainty . . . Go figure!!!
However, there is also a great spirit amongst us all, a sense of, ‘we are in this together’ and no, we shall not be broken either!!!
Personally, Lino & I, and our team have been encouraged and inspired by the amazing support and loyalty of our wonderful customers and locals . . . Thank you!
So, when Boboli ‘Bounced Back’ in May with a Takeaway Service, we started making preparations for us to be able to fling open the doors and resume full service this week.
Yes, there will be restrictions. We have some rather smart screens to dot around the place . . . they are fabulous actually; they almost enhance the place as well as creating a little more separation/protection between tables. We have sourced some ‘ok looking’ face visors too, which the team are embracing . . . so all in all Boboli is ready for its final push to really ‘Bounce Back’! The new menu is ready to go, have a look here
Meanwhile on the other side of the A6, The Lighthouse is also ‘Lighting Up’ . . . Lino has kitted out the kitchen with some fabulous new equipment, including a new pizza oven . . . just like the one we bought for Boboli . . . so our takeaway service will seamlessly be transferred to The Lighthouse.
To start with the menu will be much the same as we have been offering at Boboli but of course with added extras from The Lighthouse. We are hoping that this menu will bring some culinary delight to those of you who are still not quite ready to eat out . . . and be an extra string to our bow as we endeavour to please all. Have a look at the Lighthouse Takeaway Menu here.
There has been much said of keeping it local, and the hope that the outpouring of support for our local businesses and suppliers will be sustained as we all begin to find our way back to some kind of ‘normal’ life. I guess all of us small independents are hanging our hats on this sentiment, doing our very best to get it right, refine our offerings, and to evolve with the times, hoping that it is enough to keep the show on the road.
It is with joy, conviction and yes, some trepidation that we move into this next stage of post Covid life and we invite you, our faithful friends and supporters, to embark on the journey with us . . . Here’s to life on the other side!
Ciao for now!
