Top UK restaurant chain shuts ALL its sites as it goes bust after nearly a decade in business
A TOP UK restaurant chain has shut the doors on all its sites due to going bust after nearly a decade in business. The restaurant, which had branches in Exeter, Taunton and Cardiff, entered liquidation, having to close its doors and leave some staff unpaid. 5 5 5 Eat the Bird gained popularity as a restaurant after first opening in Taunton in 2017. It describes itself as a "multi-award winning burger joint", and even bagged the Street Food Dish of the Year award in 2023. Two more branches launched in 2022, first in Exeter and then in Cardiff. The company, however, failed to pay its meat supplier, Fairfax Meadow Europe Ltd, and closed down completely on July 22. Under the ownership of Daniel Aldridge, Eat the Bird must pay Fairfax Meadow from its assets in accordance with a court order mandate. Mr Aldridge confirmed that several staff members are also yet to recieve their wages after the sudden closure. He told Somerset Country Gazette these staff will be paid. "I am working closely with one of the directors, and we are working hard to get the situation sorted," Mr Aldridge said. The company's struggles and subsequent closure have been attributed to both escalating costs and the aftermath of Covid-19. The businessman added: "We were weighed down by the hidden nasties post-COVID. "We have so many empty shops in Taunton, we need them filled. Pub chain collapses into administration as SIX sites shut their doors for good and 159 job losses "It takes people like me to get them sorted, it's no good commenting on a shop's closure via Facebook." People nevertheless took to Facebook to express their shock at the news that the much-loved restaurant had closed. One Taunton resident posted after learning about the closure: "That is very sad. "Great staff, great food. "I am very disappointed. "Best wishes to all of the employees who have looked after us so well over the last few years." Another added: "One of my favourite places to eat in Taunton. "Very sad." A third chimed in: "Gutting! "I love that place." Eat the Bird's shutting down comes just a week after a popular online food critic praised the branch in Exeter. Danny from Rate My Takeaway's YouTube channel sampled the restaurant's Dirty Donald and My Big Fat Greek in a clip that has raked up more than 95,000 views. He described the food as "absolutely fantastic". The branch in Exeter had actually been planning to move into a shopping centre last autumn, which became delayed last-minute. 5 5

Staff from Scullion Law transformed the garden of their charity partners Home-Start Staff at a Hamilton law firm have been congratulated at the Scottish Parliament for their long-standing volunteer partnership with a community organisation. Family law team members Judith Higson, Nicola Buchanan, Claire Thomas, Laura Cousins, Liz Semple and Carly Russell spent a day supporting Home Start Glasgow North and North Lanarkshire by clearing, weeding and painting the outdoor garden at their Maryhill base. It was the latest part of the legal firm's four-year partnership with the charity, which saw Scullion being named as corporate supporter of the year at the Home-Start UK Awards in March – and has now been recognised with an official motion at Holyrood. Annie Wells, the Glasgow MSP, sponsored a motion at the parliament praising Scullion's 'outstanding support' of the charity following the garden transformation to benefit its early-years youngsters during the summer; and noted that their ongoing link 'demonstrates a deep commitment to supporting families in need'. She also praised their fundraising donations of £1 from every invoice and participation in events including the Kiltwalk, saying they have 'raised significant funds for Home-Start since 2021' and commended Scullion's 'lasting impact in enabling Home-Start to expand services, train more volunteers and build resilient, thriving communities'. It has so far been supported by 23 MSPs, including Lanarkshire colleagues Meghan Gallacher and Fulton MacGregor. Head of family law Judith Higson said: 'It was fantastic to spend the day together as a team, supporting the brilliant work Home‑Start does for families. Getting stuck in with the gardening and painting allowed us to contribute in a hands-on, meaningful way, and we hope the families enjoy the space.' Home‑Start fundraising and partnerships officer Rachel Muir said the team's 'kindness and hard work have made a wonderful difference in creating a welcoming and pleasant environment for the families and children we support', adding: 'We deeply appreciate their time, energy, and generosity.' * Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.

Trump imposes new 25% tariff on India as punishment for importing Russian oil
US President Donald Trump has imposed an additional 25% tariff on India in response to the country's purchases of Russian oil. A document posted on the White House website said the tariff on Indian goods was 'necessary and appropriate' as India was 'currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil'. It is the first use of Trump's so-called secondary sanctions on countries the US believed were supporting Russia in the war in Ukraine. 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil, they are then, for much of the oil purchased, selling it on the open market for big profits," Trump wrote on social media. "They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian war machine." The new, Russia-related tariffs will take effect in 21 days. It is on top of the 25% tariff already announced on Indian goods imported to the US which come into place from Thursday. 'I have received additional information from various senior officials on, among other things, the actions of the government of the Russian Federation with respect to the situation in Ukraine,' the government order read. The announcement came hours after Trump's foreign envoy Steve Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow over the war in Ukraine. The meeting between Putin and Witkoff took place after President Trump threatened Russia with sanctions if it did not agree to a Ukraine peace deal by his imposed deadline of Friday. The Kremlin described the three-hour meeting as 'constructive and useful'.'Putin conveyed some signals to the United States on the Ukrainian issue. Corresponding signals were also received from President Trump,' the Kremlin said in Russian state media. In the hours before the meeting, at least six people in Ukraine were killed in strikes from Moscow, including a bombing of a recreation centre in the southeastern city of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack, labelling it "cruelty aimed at instilling fear'. Since the last meeting between Witkoff and Putin in April, Russia has ramped up its assault on Ukraine, attacking cities with an onslaught of missiles and has called Russia's attacks 'disgusting' and accused Putin of peddling 'bulls**t' in their tense phone conversations. Prior to Wednesday's meeting, Trump said he would wait for the outcome of the talks to decide whether or not to impose new sanctions on Russia.'We're going to see what happens,' the president said at the White House. 'We'll make that determination at that time.' Meanwhile, the US State Department also signed off on a $200m deal with Ukraine which will allow its partners to purchase military supplies on its behalf, including technical support for heavy artillery.
