There’ll be ice cream in August. The Cupboard Update in the news.

Posted on by Catherine

The spring without The Cupboard has turned into summer and ever more. Gloucester’s authentic, reliable & affordable summer eats is **gasp** done.

Read more about the status in a front page story by Ethan Forman in the Gloucester Daily Times.

Although the restaurant and food take out won’t open, the ice cream windows will serve happiness for a few weeks. So, trying to stay positive, the send off will be a sweet, soft closing which may soften the blow. At the very least it will prod a visit and a chance to express gratitude.

When summer days and nights beckoned and our cupboards were bare, The Cupboard was indescribably full. Wish them all the best!
