There is not a lot of good to say about the COVID-19 lockdowns, but during that time, one thing that changed for me was getting a new perspective on work-life balance. I enjoyed being with the family and realised that the children are growing up very quickly. I have since changed my schedule and am very glad to have made that decision. This also made me think in a new way about our staff. We are 35 years in business this year and have 60 people working here; many with young families. For a lot of restaurants, the ‘summer’ holidays are in January. This year we decided to shut for a week in the summer, also. Our staff are delighted to be able to take a family holiday when most other people do, and they deserve it.
