Renovation Plans for Glasgow’s Beloved Ox and Finch Restaurant
One of Glasgow’s most beloved dining spots, Ox and Finch, is gearing up for a major transformation as it prepares to temporarily close its doors for a significant makeover. Located on Sauchiehall Street in the city center, this popular restaurant has announced that it will be shutting down from Sunday, October 13 until Spring 2025.
Known for its creative and contemporary tapas-style dishes, Ox and Finch has garnered a loyal following over the years. The decision to undergo renovations comes after the restaurant celebrated its 10th birthday earlier this year, marking a decade of serving up delectable cuisine to its patrons.
Celebrating a Milestone and Looking Ahead
In May, Ox and Finch commemorated its 10th anniversary with much fanfare, hinting at “very special plans” in store to mark the occasion. Now, the restaurant is thrilled to announce that it will be embarking on a renovation journey this autumn-winter, promising to return with some exciting updates in 2025.
Despite the temporary closure for renovations, Ox and Finch reassures its customers that it will be business as usual until Saturday, October 12. The restaurant will then be closed for several months to allow for a complete transformation of its space, ensuring a fresh and revitalized dining experience for its guests when it reopens in the spring.
Gratitude and Transition Plans
In a heartfelt message shared on social media, the team at Ox and Finch expressed their gratitude to their loyal customers for their unwavering support over the past decade. With the restaurant often welcoming upwards of 300 guests a day, they are immensely proud of the accomplishments achieved during this time.
As the renovation plans take shape, Ox and Finch has made arrangements to transfer any outstanding reservations for the remainder of the year to Margo, their brand-new city center restaurant set to open soon. The team has been proactive in reaching out to those with future bookings to facilitate a smooth transition, ensuring that all guests are informed and accommodated during this period of closure.
Furthermore, the restaurant has extended the validity of unspent gift vouchers, allowing customers to redeem them once Ox and Finch reopens or at other affiliated establishments such as Ka Pao Glasgow and Ka Pao Edinburgh in the meantime. This thoughtful gesture reflects the restaurant’s commitment to maintaining strong relationships with its patrons even during temporary closures.
Looking Forward to a Reimagined Experience
As Ox and Finch prepares to embark on its renovation journey, the anticipation is high for the unveiling of a reimagined dining experience in 2025. With a decade of culinary excellence under its belt, the restaurant remains dedicated to delighting customers with innovative dishes and a welcoming ambiance that has made it a staple in Glasgow’s dining scene.
While the temporary closure may leave a void for loyal patrons in the coming months, the promise of a refreshed and revitalized Ox and Finch upon its reopening serves as a beacon of hope and excitement. As the restaurant bids farewell for now, it does so with the promise of a bright future ahead, filled with new possibilities and culinary delights to be savored by all who walk through its doors once again.
