Jane and Carlos have been loyal customers of Girasole for years. They have always supported our business and have become like family to us. Today, they surprised us by showing up to the restaurant dressed in our signature Girasole uniform. It was a heartwarming gesture that truly made our day.

Seeing Jane and Carlos in our uniform made us realize just how much we appreciate all of our customers. Their loyalty and support over the years have been invaluable to us, and we are grateful for each and every one of them.

As we served Jane and Carlos their favorite coffee, we couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and gratitude. They have been with us through thick and thin, and their continued support means the world to us.

So, to Jane and Carlos, and to all of our wonderful customers, thank you for your support. You are the reason we have tried not to give up for so many years and we are so grateful to have you as part of the Girasole family.

Dear valued customers,

It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you that i have made the difficult decision to sell Girasole . The challenges of Brexit, the ongoing pandemic, the living crises and cherry on the cake the TFL and the C50 cycle lane in our area have made it increasingly difficult for us to continue operating.
Me and my team would love to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support throughout the years. Your loyalty  have meant the world to us, and we are truly grateful for the relationships we have built with each of you.
While this is bittersweet moment for us i am confident that a new opportunity will rise ...
Please be aware  that i will be available to cater for events and private parties and you can also hire me as a private chef, and I am more than happy to support any event based on your budget.

If you fancy great food, please check the Upper Place at the Nags Head, and you never know you might find us there in the future...
The only thing left to do is to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the past 9 years. It has been one of the most wonderful experiences I have had, and I am grateful for the friendships and connections I have made along the way.
Thank you for being a part of this journey.

Lots of love,
Your friends,

Eglal Gomaa and the loyal Team at Girasole
