'If anyone is free and would like to lend a hand': West Midlands restaurant asks for help after Storm damage
A restaurant in the West Midlands has shut its doors following the damage caused by Storm Goretti.
After Storm Goretti caused damaged to The Bracebridge restaurant which is located near Sutton Park, the restaurant has updated its customers today (12 January) that it is still yet to re-open due to property damage caused by the storm.
Owners of The Bracebridge located in Sutton Park have said that they hope to open on Wednesday (14 January) and have appealed for help tomorrow (13 January).
They shared that they will be on site from 10am tomorrow, if anyone would like to ‘lend a hand’, after the owners shared that the property damage was uninsurable.
The Facebook statement read:
“Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who has called, messaged and commented with support over the last couple of days on this dire situation, it genuinely means more than we can say.
“Unfortunately, we’ve been advised that the storm damage is not insurable, and that our stretch tent is not repairable.
“With the council closing the roads due to fallen trees, and ongoing power and internet issues, we sadly need to remain closed today, tomorrow and Tuesday at a minimum.
On Tuesday, we’ll have some very kind helpers on site to begin removing the tent and repairing whatever we can, with the hope of reopening on Wednesday, subject to the road reopening and power being restored. For those who have offered help, thank you. If anyone is free and would like to lend a hand, we’ll be on site Tuesday 13th from 10am (We will come armed with off-grid facilities to make coffee.) Once again, thank you all. Your kindness has truly helped make a very sh*t situation that little bit easier.”
The restaurant is located at Sutton Park, Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield B74 2YR.
