We can’t quite believe that we are nearly the full way through January 2021. 2020 was such a strange year for everyone, and this certainly wasn’t the start of 2021 any one of us expected or wanted.
​
We wanted to post firstly, just to say hi! We miss seeing you all and we are looking forward to being able to see you all again in the near future.

We also just wanted to let you know why we are not currently offering a takeaway service. A few of you have been in touch over the last few weeks to ask what our plans are for takeaway, and the honest truth is, right now, we don’t feel that it is safe for us to offer this service. Whilst it costs us a substantial amount of money to remain closed, we can’t put a price on the health and safety of our staff and our guests. With this new, highly transmissible strain of COVID in our midst, we feel it is unfair, firstly, to ask our staff to travel in on public transport, and secondly, to ask our guests to interact with us as this puts everyone and their families at risk.

​We are keeping our eyes on the numbers and as soon as we feel that there is less of a risk to everyone, we will re-start our takeaway service.
In the meantime, if any of you want to show some support, we have a donation button on the homepage where you can safely donate what you might have otherwise spent with us if you were picking up a takeaway or popping in for dinner. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and will assist in keeping us going during this really strange time.
If anyone has any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to email us or pop us a message via one of our social media platforms. Our telephone lines are not being manned right now, so please don’t try to call as you will just get our voicemail.

We are looking forward to a time where we can all be together again, but in the meantime, stay safe.

Opening Hours

We are sure you're all desperate to know when you are able to come in and eat, so here are the opening hours:

Take Aways

Thank you to everyone who has ordered a takeaway over the last 4 weeks, we hope that you have enjoyed having a little bit of Copper & Ink in your own home.  We will continue to offer takeaways when we are back open to diners, however, we will not be able to offer deliveries and we may not be able to offer quite as many takeaway options as we have done as we will obviously be cooking for the diners seated in the restaurant.

Just before we sign off, we just want to ask everyone to be respectful of the rules when coming back into the restaurant.   We have done everything we can to keep you and our staff safe and to continue to provide a wonderful, comfortable dining experience, so your cooperation is gratefully received.

We wanted to thank everyone for all their heartfelt messages this week, it's been a real boon.

We have also appreciated all the ideas that have been pouring in from our guests and followers as to how we can continue to operate during this time.

One suggestion which has come up quite often is vouchers.  Now, whilst we love the idea of gift vouchers (who doesn't!), we don't know how long this crisis will continue and if, therefore, we will ever be able to open our doors again.  We can't, in good conscience, take money from our regular guests and loyal followers without knowing 100% that you are going to be able to cash that back in.  To that end, we have decided that vouchers will NOT be a viable option for us at this time.

If, and when, we can reopen, we ask that you come in and support us and if you still want to buy a gift voucher, we will have those available to purchase as at that point we can guarantee those will be redeemable.

We are in the process of coming up with something food related which we will update you on when we can, so please do bear with us.

In the meantime, if you do follow us on social media, you will have seen our posts with regard to supporting other independent businesses, so if you can help them too, we would really appreciate it.

Please stay safe and take care of each other.

​Tony & Becky

Firstly, we want to thank all of you for your support during this time and for the continued support in general.

As you may have seen this afternoon, the Prime Minister has advised the public to avoid non-essential travel and visits to bars, clubs and restaurants.

Given this drastic change to advice, we have take the decision to be socially responsible and to close the restaurant with immediate effect.

We are hoping this is a very temporary measure and it's not a decision we have taken lightly, but we do hope you all understand our reasoning.

We will keep in touch both through our social media channels and our newsletter and if you have any specific questions you can reach us on email (info@copperandink.com).

We hope to see you all very soon.

Tony & Becky

Whilst we are aware it's not quite the end of the month yet, we've had a really busy February so far and thought it would be a great time to share it with you. We'll aim to give you a round up of each month going forward, and we have lots in the pipeline which we hope you'll be interested to hear about.

We are really excited to share that we have been shortlisted for the 2020 Best of Royal Greenwich Business Awards!  Winning something like this would be a great achievement for us, and you can help make it happen.. If you have a few spare moments and would like to help us win this award, please just click here and cast your vote!  Voting closes on Thursday 27th Feb at 5pm.  Thank you!

Mother's Day is fast approaching, and if you haven't already booked your table for lunch, now is the time!  Head over to our bookings page to book your table.

If you weren't aware of Tony or Rob's amateur MasterChef past, then where have you been!?

If, like us, you are massive fans of the show, you'll already know the new series of amateurs started on Monday 24th February.  Get watching, get cooking and look out for our Executive and Head Chefs on your telly boxes in the coming weeks.

Speaking of our fantastic Head Chef, Rob Parks, he has recently been speaking out about mental health in the restaurant industry.  It's a subject very close to our hearts, and something which has been very prominent in the media recently.

Rob has been a champion for Vent - an amazing mental health charity - for a long time and was invited onto their 'Just Checking In' podcast to discuss this topic further.  Click here to have a listen, and by all means, share it with anyone you think might need some help.

A quick apology to anyone who experienced difficulties with our website earlier this week, we had a few technical glitches which have now been remedied.  Thank you to everyone who got in touch to let us now they were having issues, it meant we could get the problem sorted for more quickly.

Our February menu has been going down a storm, with many of our guests telling us that our wild rabbit dish is "the best rabbit they've ever eaten!" Praise, indeed!

If you haven't been in this moth to try the current menu, you don't have long!  Our new menu kicks in on Tuesday 2nd March.

Head over to our bookings page to book your table.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful February and we look forward to seeing you in March!
