A POPULAR dog brasserie has closed its doors amid the Covid-19 crisis.

Waggie Tail, on Sea View Street, in Cleethorpe­s, has announced its closure – saying it is “no longer a viable business”.

The brasserie, based in the former Queen’s Hotel, worked with Petit Delight in serving people and their four-legged friends food and drinks. Waggie Tail began serving its dog customers with specialiti­es such as pupcakes and chicken chunks in 2018.

Business owner Louise Allenby devised a doggy menu and decorated the restaurant room with pictures of precious pooches. But Waggie Tail has now announced it has closed with “immediate” effect. A spokespers­on said on Facebook: “Unfortunat­ely we have made the decision to close Waggie Tail effective immediatel­y.

“This isn’t a decision we have taken lightly, the impact of Covid-19 means it is no longer a viable business for us to operate moving forward.”

Petit Delight say they will still be allowing well-behaved dogs into their corner entrance and newlyrefur­bished gardens.

The Waggie Tail spokespers­on added: “As we are based in the old

Queen’s Hotel and work with Petit Delight, they will still be allowing well-behaved dogs in their corner entrance and also in their newlyrefur­bished garden.

“We look forward to still seeing all our wonderful customers in the Petit Delight dog-friendly areas. Thank you for your support as always.”

Petit Delight reopened its doors for the first time since lockdown yesterday – with strict Covid-19 measures in place.
