"It's time for a bit of a break."

  All good things must come to an end... for a couple of months at least. Joe's Chicken took to Instagram to announce that they would be shutting up shop in Bray for the winter months, but that they would be back in the new year. While they don't give us an exact reopening date, or even month, we're going to assume they'll be back in the spring, once the weather warms up again. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjPzS9IMdHw/ In their short Instagram announcement they said:

"We’ve had an amazing Summer but it’s time for a bit of a break and to close up shop for Winter! We want to say a massive thank you to all our customers who stopped this year and don’t worry, we’ll be back in 2023!"

The chicken shop cite needing a bit of a break as the reason behind their closure. All over the country, hospitality spots have been trying to find ways to combat rising energy costs and a steep increase in supply prices. Some spots have reduced opening hours, others have raised their own prices, whilst some have unfortunately had to close permanently. Bray won't be the same without its Joe's Chicken, so we're sure that they won't stay away for long.
