Why support local?

15 Apr 2026

Supporting local

In a world of fast food chains and globalised fast dining, it's easy to forget the charm of independent restaurants like ours. Unique establishments are often family-run or owned by incredibly passionate individuals, and they offer a distinct experience that goes way beyond just a meal inside 4 walls

Here's why you should make a conscious effort to support your local independents:

1. Unique Culinary Experiences:

• Chef-Driven Creativity: Independent eateries like Finbar's, are driven by the passion and creativity of their chefs, resulting in innovative and exciting menus, which are constantly evolving and changing

• Locally Sourced Ingredients: We prioritise using fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients, supporting other small businesses in our community.

• Unique Ambiance: Each independent has its own distinct personality and ambiance, creating a more personal and memorable dining experience.  At Finbar's, our stand out asset has got to be our panoramic, seaside views and stunning coastal sunsets


2. Community Impact:

• Job Creation: We are super important to our local economy, creating apprenticeship schemes, well paid jobs, career opportunities and in doing so, supporting other local livelihoods.

• Community Hubs: We have become somewhat of a social gathering spot, fostering a sense of community within the neighbourhood.

• Giving Back: We actively participate in local events, charities and giveaways, offering a little something back to the community we serve.


How to Support Your Local Independents:

• Dine In Regularly: Make it a point to dine in at your favourite independents as often as possible
• Leave Positive Reviews: Share your positive experiences online for the whole world to see!
• Spread the Word: Tell your friends and family about your favourite local spots.
• Consider Gift Cards: Give the gift of a delicious meal,  a lovely alternative gift idea for friends ans family


Supporting your local independent restaurants like Finbar's, is more than just a meal; it's an investment in your community, your culture, and your own culinary experiences.
Support local...always.
