A POPULAR Aberdour eatery is to close next month, its owner has confirmed.
The Room with a View restaurant at Hawkcraig Point, which has a stunning location overlooking the Forth, will close on September 28.
Making the announcement on Facebook, owner Hannah Norman said she had come to the decision "with a heavy heart".
She stated: "After 18 wonderful years, this decision has not come lightly, the business has been a significant part of my life and a cherished establishment for many in our community.
"I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to all of our staff members, both past and present.
"Your hard work, dedication and passion have made Room with a View a place of joy and celebration, and I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together.
"Unfortunately, the current economic climate has posed numerous challenges for the hospitality industry, and we have faced many financial constraints that have made it increasingly difficult to operate.
"Additionally, my personal circumstances have led me to prioritise family at this time."
Norman thanked her "loyal customers" for their support over the years.
"We have had the privilege of serving countless loyal customers; you have made our restaurant a vibrant part of this community," she added.
"We will carry fond memories of the laughter, celebrations and special moments shared within our walls.
"This closure marks the end of an era, but I remain hopeful for the future. Thank you once again for everything."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
