After many incredible years as the cornerstone of the Newrybar community, it is with profound sadness that we announced the closure of Harvest, effective from last Friday, 13 December.
Harvest has always been more than a restaurant and deli—it has been a place for connection, celebration, and shared memories. This legacy was only possible thanks to our dedicated staff, trusted suppliers, and the loyal community that embraced us. Your passion and support have meant the world to us.
The reality of rising costs—up over 30 percent in recent years—combined with compliance pressures and an uncertain future for tenure, made continuing operations unsustainable. Our commitment to local produce and a people first approach, while central to our mission, became increasingly difficult to sustain in a world that values sustainability but challenges its feasibility.
For those who have placed deposits for Christmas food orders, events, or weddings, we want to reassure you that you will receive a full refund, and we have contacted you personally to arrange this.
While this marks the end of an era for Harvest, the memories, relationships, and stories we’ve shared will endure.
Thank you for being part of the Harvest journey.
Warm regards,
The Owners of Harvest Newrybar
