Why has a popular Blackheath restaurant had to close?
Former MasterChef finalist Tony Rodd has announced the closure of his Blackheath restaurant 'Copper & Ink' after five years.
He told his followers online that the decision was made with a "heavy heart" - but the cost of energy had increased his bills by 拢1,000 a month, and regular customers were also coming in less frequently because of the cost of living crisis.
What's more, Tony paints a bleak picture for the London hospitality sector - and has warned that other restaurants in the capital may meet the same fate as his.
He's been speaking to Kath Melandri on 成人快手 Radio London.
