Noodle Nation announces closure of Maidenhead restaurant after more than 15 years
Noodle Nation has announced it is closing its Maidenhead restaurant ‘effectively immediately’ after more than 15 years in the town.
In a statement posted on Facebook today (Monday), the company cited several reasons for the closure of the venue making it difficult ‘to make ends meet’.
The family-run eatery, which serves up a fusion of Asian flavours through its noodle dishes, launched its first restaurant in High Wycombe in 2000 and later opened another venue at Grenfell Island, King Street six years later.
The statement said: “This is a very sad and difficult goodbye to a community that we have been a part of for over 15 years.
“Our family have been very proud to have served you all.
“We love what we do, and we’ve grown, adapted and learned what makes a damn good Chinese with your help.
Explaining the reasons behind the closure, the company said that as an independent restaurant it was 'being squeezed from all angles’.
The statement added: “As an independent restaurant, we were being squeezed from all angles, and coupled with the ever-changing landscape of the town, this has made it difficult for us to make ends meet.
“We tried to navigate the situation over the last five years, but we just couldn’t hold on any longer for the regeneration.
“We are grateful for the time we spent with you and give a heartfelt thanks to all of the lovely customers who have come through our doors, many of whom we have seen grow from kids to adults.
“You will be missed.”
Noodle Nation also said an ‘enormous thank you’ to all the members of the team both past and present.
“We couldn’t have done it without you and it’s been a privilege to have worked with so many brilliant people along our journey,” the statement added.
“You’ve helped us realise the dream with your hard work and dedication.
“However, all good things must come to an end and so for the last time…thank you for visiting Noodle Nation, we hope you enjoyed the food.”
Customers can still visit the Noodle National restaurant in High Wycombe which is open at 5 Crown Lane, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, HP11 2HF.
