We reported in September 2020 that Frankie Tsang, owner of the Chinese restaurant, said he has been forced to shut due to Covid-19 and the changes it has brought with it.
Mr Tsang said: “It is sad to see my restaurant close, I have been in the industry for nearly 40 years and have owned the Four Seasons for 25.
“We have made this difficult decision for two reasons, the first being coronavirus. The pandemic has meant less people eating out and more people getting takeaway.
“Due to this, and the fact our restaurant is too small to allow social distance, we made the decision to shut, but we are still offering takeaway and we are still relying on the local community for their support with this."
