From the administrators' statement
The Company had been run by Richard Martin and his wife, and they were the only directors and shareholders since 2004. They had always been very hands-on and directly involved in the day-today business. Over the years they had built up the business resulting in it receiving various commendations, including an AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence 2023-2024, plus multiple Travellers’ Choice and Certificate of Excellence awards from TripAdvisor.
However, in January 2025, Mrs. Martin was admitted to hospital with a rare and aggressive brain stem cancer following several months of ill health. This illness removed both directors from the dayto-day running of the business and resulted in all non-event operations being ceased with the team remaining focused on delivering the weddings and other events that were booked.
In addition to the reduced services and lost income deriving from this, the business faced several external challenges including increased food, utilities, employers NIC and other costs as well as a general downturn in the leisure market generally. Despite sustained cash injections from the directors, there was insufficient income to cover the increased costs.
