A Liverpool city centre restaurant owner says he had to make a ‘really hard decision’ due to the ongoing cost of living crisis.
In fact, Will says he’d been mulling over the possibility since November 2021 after realising that “rapid, rampant inflation” happening all over the country wasn’t slowing down. The cost of buying certain ingredients had doubled in price and the venue’s gas bill “doubled overnight” earlier this year, so he knew something had to be done.
Will said: “I knew we had to do something, we had to take a step back and think ‘what is it people want? We need to survive’.” Will decided to make the switch to serving Greek food in order to combat the ongoing issues the business is facing due to the cost of living crisis. While it hasn’t all been smooth sailing - in fact, a number of chefs left the business because of it, leaving Will and his partner ended up heading into the kitchen. However, Will said the switch was “an oh my God moment” for The Monro as the staff rallied around, getting to see another side of their bosses who were “knee deep” in the kitchen and ensuring the venue stayed open.
