The Yorkshire Meatball Co.

Who knew? Did you?

We wish you a Merry (Meatball) Christmas and a Happy New Year...😁

Are you, or do you know, a student entrepreneur? We've been invited to share our experience with the next generation of entrepreneurs! David is looking forward to this one...

So, what next, dear friends?
David once told some budding entrepreneurs at Lancaster University - It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you do something...
Well, firstly, we think we'd like to tell our full story, from the inside out... What was it like to create the restaurant you took to your hearts and to put the meatballs on the supermarket shelves that you brought into your homes? So we're writing a book, laying our thoughts, experiences and lessons learnt in print ...for all to see. If you'd like to know more, hop on over to...
https://www.facebook.com/FoodBusinessBk/
...and like the page for all our news - where we'll be setting out our story. We'll be running a competition soon, for one lucky Baller to ride on the publication journey with us, and help read and comment on the early drafts. You'll get your name in print!

Dear friends,
It's with deep sadness that we write with the news we’ve had to call time on The Yorkshire Meatball Co.
Despite being successful in crowdfunding for our retail launch in April 2016, and subsequently achieving listings in over 200 Morrisons, Asda and Teso stores - in addition to our recent accolade of ‘Best New British Product’ in the Great British Food Magazine Awards 2017 - we were left with a very challenging financial position, due to the costs of closing o...ur restaurant last year. We’ve both been working tirelessly over the past twelve months, exploring every possible avenue for additional investment but, unfortunately, we have been unsuccessful.
To say we’re disappointed to be closing the doors on our ambition would be an understatement. We’ve dedicated almost four years to the development of the brand, and an additional two years planning before launching our Harrogate restaurant in 2014. We’ve worked tirelessly to create an award winning brand with many loyal followers, and truly believe the concept could be successful with further support. While we’ve been unsuccessful in finding investment, if any of our followers know someone that may be interested in carrying on the work we’ve started, please do make contact with us at Geoffrey Martin & Co. info@geoffreymartin.co.uk or tel: +44 (0)113 244 5141.
We’d like to take this final opportunity to firstly thank each and every member of staff that we had the pleasure to work alongside - it was an honour to call you ‘our team’. And secondly, to thank all of you that supported The Yorkshire Meatball Co. with your custom - be that by visiting our restaurant, or by purchasing our Balls from the supermarket. And finally, to thank our family and friends for walking the journey with us - providing endless encouragement, advice and patience. We look back with a great deal of pride, and a endless appreciation for the friendship and support received from you all during that time.
Our deepest thanks and very best wishes,
David & Gareth Atkinson X
