😕 A quick message from us at Romas, Newtownards…..
Our recent business rates revaluation has resulted in a significant increase for Romas. Our rates have risen from £53,300 to £90,000 — a 69% increase, adding £36,700 per year to our running costs.
Alongside this, we continue to manage higher gas and electricity bills, increased National Insurance and wage costs, and commercial waste charges of approximately £12,000 annually.
We’ve worked hard behind the scenes to absorb as much of this as possible without passing the full impact on to our customers. Maintaining value, quality, and a welcoming local venue remains our priority.
We’re incredibly thankful to everyone in Newtownards and the wider Ards area who continues to support us — your custom helps protect local jobs and keeps independent hospitality going.
‼️ Back local businesses. Support hospitality. Use it or lose it….
We look forward to welcoming you to Romas 🍴🍷
