The Tipsy Vegan in St Benedicts Street has closed in Norwich

Reports have stated that The Tipsy Vegan, in St Benedicts Street, has not opened since Saturday, May 4.

The vegan restaurant opened in 2017 with owners Michelle McCabe and Cheryl Mullinger at the helm but Kostas Petrou and Andrew Warren took over last September.

The news comes just months after the business announced a new manager, Hattie Fox. 

A notice from a repossession company, Umberto, was on the front of the premises dated Friday, May 17 but has since been removed.

The notice stated: "Possession has been taken of property on May 17, 2024.

"You have seven days from the date above in which to contact and collect any personal items that may be at the premises."

However, the Tipsy Vegan website remains live and is taking bookings with a £1 deposit fee.

In March 2024, Mr Petrou said: "We are looking to open a Tipsy Vegan in multiple locations.

"We have been contacted by a major shopping centre in London to open a restaurant there.

"No matter how much we grow we will always have Norwich close to our hearts and plan to train future staff here."

The business previously also had a site in Cambridge, which opened in September 2021.

That venue, in Quayside, closed for an "end of summer break" last year but didn't reopen with that statement still on the company's website.

Attempts to contact the business have proved unsuccessful.
