Taj Bar & Kitchen Magazine 7

In the early hours of Tuesday, 27th of November 2018 a terrible fire rippedthrough the restaurant. It took almost a full 12 months before we were able tore-open, on the 25th of October, 2019 and now we are absolutely thrilled tobe celebrating the first anniversary of the new Taj Bar & Kitchen.

It has been a long hard road to get to this point, but there is no way we couldhave managed it on our own. So we’d like to thank everyone who helped usto get back on our feet when all seemed lost. This includes the designers,tradesmen and suppliers. But most of all we want to thank you, our loyalcustomers, who have stood by us and helped us reach this point. Withoutyou these celebrations would not be taking place and with your supportwe’re looking forward to another great year.
