The owners of a popular Hereford restaurant have announced that they will be leaving in the coming weeks. 

Ponte Vecchio — located on Bridge Street in Hereford, announced the news on social media.

“As many of you are aware, earlier in the year, we made the decision to put Ponte Vecchio on the market.

“It’s time to let you know that we are now entering the last few weeks of trading. 

“Due to a few behind the scenes delays, we will be trading for the next few weeks and are now taking bookings up until Saturday 20th June. 

“During this time we will only be able to take cash or BACS payments, as our card machine has been disconnected.

“Alice is working on one last menu, which will be on the website tomorrow night. Yes the beef will still be available, as will the lamb ragu with smoked ricotta and gremolata. 

“I’m trying my best to persuade her to keep the Venetian spiced cauliflower, but you’ll have to watch this space.

“If you’d like a table, please text me on 07813109449 and I will get back to you. Grazie, Leo.”
