Jammy Piece saves Castle Restaurant in Inverness from closure

Operators of the Jammy Piece in Inverness have saved the Castle Restaurant.

The long-established Castle Restaurant was set to shut for the last time yesterday, due in large part to the impact of coronavirus.

But it has now been saved.

A statement from Jammy Piece, which has built a positive reputation for its quality food at sites near the Caledonian Canal and in the Eastgate Shopping Centre, reads: "Yes it's true, we are delighted to confirm we are taking over the Castle Street restaurant.

"Could there be a better match?

"A bit of a shake up on the menu but all the favourites are staying including the crinkle-cut chips. We're not that brave...

"There's no doubt, these are tough times but we are up for the challenge and the best news is, Castle staff are staying.

"Won't make any promises other than commitment and hard graft (plus JP craic).

"Covid-19 and bollards won't stop us!"
