They have also made multiple television appearances in the last few months, with Anthony Murphy, one of the restaurant's founders, featuring on BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen.

A spokesperson said: “All our branches will be closed so we can throw a big thank you party for our staff after a gruelling summer and give them time to nurse their hangovers.”

The temporary closure has been well received online, with Jim Cratchley commenting: “Have a great time. No work talk, just drinks, food, laughter. Well done.”

Colin Walls added: “Great to see a business that knows what its most important asset is and is aware of the need to nurture it. Well done!”

All three restaurants will be back open on Wednesday, September 13.
