  12. Pandemic uncertainly forced closure says bistro bosspublished at 16:27 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2021

    A bistro which served up meals for elderly people during lockdown is closing after its owner said he had lost confidence in the industry.

    Alan Chapman said the latest cancellations over Christmas sparked by concern over the Omicron variant led him to decide to shut Chappy's Bistro at the White Feather, in Berwick Hills, Teesside, next month.

    The hospitality industry has called for urgent financial support from the government, amid further uncertainty caused by the pandemic.

    Mr Chapman (below) said: "People have lost their confidence with going out to pubs, I've had so many cancellations this month, I was fully booked going into December and January and February are bad months and it's just too much, it's broken the camel's back."

    He opened the restaurant with 12 members of staff, three months before the Covid pandemic in December 2019.

    Mr Chapman, who also runs a flooring shop, said he would instead concentrate on that business instead.

    He says it is costing 拢3,000 a month to keep the bistro running and he would like to see more government help for the industry.

    It comes as the prime minister said he had not told the public to cancel social events but has urged people to exercise "caution."
