Bry59 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Springers will be closing after 23 years, Brian and Jackie would like to thank all the loyal customers and friends for their patronage over the many happy years we have spent in the area.We have sold the business and our last day will be the 23rd December.It is with great sadness that we leave all the wonderful memories we have enjoyed at springers but feel the time is right for us to retire and move on.Thank youBrian & jackie Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4730-springers-wine-bar-closing-after-23-years/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Sad news, but good luck.Please, please tell me that you have sold it to a couple of people hell bent on opening a Springers II, rather than a Zizzi, Pizza Express or some such?

ChavWivaLawDegree Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I went in there for the first time a few weeks back and the food was really nice but I was the only person in there with my friend. It's been empty every time I've been past too. I was supprised it was so empty because the service and food was really good. The owners obviously love food and I think it is sad that the more formulaic eateries seem to have taken their business.I hope you have a well earned rest and sold it for enough to keep you comfortable and thanks for a lovely meal.

Muttley Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Sorry to hear this. Like others, I used to be a regular but hadn't been for a long time, I suppose mainly because of eating out less (kids) but also perhaps because with more restaurants on LL the main strip got all the attention at your expense. Delays in building the new community hospital haven't helped you. Really hope that your successors try to live up to your traditions. Thanks for many good memories.

gerry Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Needless to say, I am totally depressed over Brian and Jackie leaving. We had many special events there including our son's 18th birthday party, wonderful dinners and lunches including Valentine's Day, cast parties, Christmas parties, and I continued my weekly burger fix up until this week! Where will I go from here??? We will all miss you and your lovely decorations for each holiday. Let's not forget the gorgeous Springers. Thank you for 23 years of fabulous food, wine and service, and great chats. You always made us feel special.....
