Market Harborough Restaurant Closes Suddenly

A Market Harborough restaurant has closed suddenly after its owners announced major restructuring plans.

The branch of Wildwood on the High Street is one of 18 sites to be shut nationwide by parent company Tasty, which blames ‘difficult trading conditions.’

Tasty, which also operates the Dim T brand, said the restructuring plan would help ensure its long-term survival.

Customers were sent an email yesterday saying the restaurant is closed as of today and the decision was taken ‘with a heavy heart.’

A Wildwood spokesperson told HFM: “We are very sad to have to be closing in Market Harborough and would like to thank our loyal customers and of course the team, who we are now working closely with to offer alternative roles in other locations across our remaining estate.

“Both of our restaurants in Hinckley and Rushden Lakes continue to trade and we look forward to a successful future in these locations.”

Kyra Williams is President of Market Harborough Chamber of Trade and told HFM the closure is a blow for the town centre and she feels for the staff affected:
