Over the past 4 years, Bangor Eats have been working tirelessly to support and promote a wide range of local independently owned businesses across Bangor and beyond. We offer our services at a fraction of the cost when compared to big app like Just Eat etc., and are currently partnered with over 80 brilliant local businesses on our app and website - but the support we provide is only a small part of what these businesses need - the other part is you. 🫵
Never has 'Use it or lose it' ever seemed so appropriate. It almost seems like everyday we are reading about another local business closing down for the final time - two of note recently being Rough Stuff (after over 30 years) and The Singing Kettle Bakery (after 18 years). We didn't work directly with either of these businesses, but we will miss them both.

It got us thinking about how many food/takeaway businesses we have lost over the past couple of years. This is by no means and exhaustive list, and there are a variety of reasons why these businesses decided to close, but the bottom line is, they are now gone:

- 19 Coffee House
- Apache Pizza
- Bami & Pho
- Bangor Bites
- Bawon
- Cafe B
- Cafe Havana
- Chick n' Pizza
- Daintys
- Dolce Vita Pizza
- East Coast Diner
- El Keto Burrito
- Food Pod Six
- The Galley
- Get Stuff'd
- Gone Grillin'
- Greedy Gorb
- Grill'd
- Grub at the Club
- Hole in the Hedge Café
- In the Name of Cod
- Katch 22
- Manhattan Milkshakes
- Marina Coffee
- Marerosa
- Nays Kitchen
- Neko Asian
- Phoenix Chinese
- Pizza Worx
- Salt House
- Scotch Corner Café
- Shirley & Ted's
- Sole Food
- StkdBrgr
- Sweet C's
- Taste Grill
- Thindi Indian
- Velvet Rose
- Villa Oregano
- Vujon Indian

And that's only the ones we can think of. At this rate we'll soon become a city of national chain stores only. No doubt there will be a long queue of cars this weekend outside KFC and McDonald's, etc. but at what cost?

While it's good news that Queen's Parade has finally begun, the construction works and removal of car parking has already led to a dramatic decline in already poor City centre footfall - piling more pressure on businesses located there.

Maybe as we enter what will hopefully be a busy festive season, more of you will explore more, try somewhere new, and most importantly, support local business. If you do, then we'd also urge you to either order directly with the outlet, or if you prefer, use Bangor Eats. You will pay less, the outlet will make more, and 100% of your money stays local. 🤝

Another sad day for Bangor.

🌙 𝐀 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐈𝐭𝐬 𝐃𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐬
𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐅𝐅 has just announced that it will be closing for the final time on Saturday 22nd November.

For over 30 years, this little Bridge Street shop has been part of Bangor’s cultural fabric …from band tees and posters to incense, body jewellery, laughs at the counter, and that unmistakable eclectic window display.
For many growing up here, it was one of the first places to discover music, identity, and a bit of independence.

The owner has shared that rising costs and a decrease in footfall have made it impossible to stay open. This is not a closure by choice.

If 𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐅𝐅 has been part of your Bangor story, the next week is the time to call in, say thank you, and show support before the shutters come down for the last time.

A shop that meant a lot to a lot of people. 💙

Sad times for Bangor…

💔 Important Announcement – Permanent Closure of The Singing Kettle Bakery Bangor 💔

After 18 amazing years, it breaks my heart to say that The Singing Kettle Bakery will be closing permanently.
Our final day of trading will be Saturday 15th November 2025 (8am–4pm).

This has been an incredibly hard decision to make, but after listening to my family and friends — and thinking seriously about my health after years of working long, exhausting hours — I know it’s time to put myself first.

Sadly, the reality is that small businesses like ours just can’t keep up anymore. Footfall in Bangor has dropped dramatically, and with more people choosing the convenience of garages, we simply can’t compete. On top of that, the cost of ingredients and materials has more than doubled over the past few years. We’ve kept our prices as low as possible to stay fair to our customers, but it’s no longer sustainable.

We had such hope during Covid when queues were down the street and people from all over discovered us — it felt amazing to be recognised for what we do. That hope encouraged us to expand, but not long after, costs spiralled out of control. We tried everything to keep going — closing our baking unit, then our Ballyree Drive store in March, and our High Street shop in September — but it just hasn’t been enough.

To all our loyal customers who’ve supported us day after day, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your smiles, chats, and kindness have meant more than words can say. You’ve been the reason I’ve kept going all these years.

But for once, I need to think about myself. Running a small business these days is incredibly tough, and doing everything on your own while barely managing to pay yourself just isn’t possible anymore.

Thank you all so much for 18 wonderful years of memories, laughter, and support. You’ve made The Singing Kettle what it is, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Hopefully see youse all up until 15th November 2025 (our last trading day)

Thanks very much for your custom

From Wes
