One of many businesses affected by Covid this winter.

Budds in Ballydehob has been forced to keep its doors shut for a little longer than expected due to Covid.

Last week the restaurant, which is known for a menu that caters to vegans, vegetarians and those who are gluten-free, announced that it would be closing until January 11th. However, an update on the Budds Instagram page confirms that the closure will last another while longer.

“Sorry guys we are closed for another little bit. We plan to open hopefully this weekend and have a full team back up and running. Thank you for your understanding and hope you’re all ok out there xx”

No date has been set for reopening.
