Dundee restaurant’s sudden closure

172 The Caird

Mystery surrounds the sudden closure of a popular Dundee restaurant.

A message was posted on social media saying 172 At The Caird would be closed until January 18 “due to unforeseen circumstances”.

It told concerned customers the owners offered reassurances vouchers bought “will be honoured and be redeemable upon re-opening”.

It continued: “We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused, and assure all customers who have made any reservations that we will contact you by telephone or email as soon as possible.”

However, the upmarket Nethergate eaterie’s Facebook page appeared to have been removed a short while later.

On Wednesday evening no one was answering the phone at the restaurant, however its website was still running and advertising Hogmanay events and a cocktail course early in January.

The restaurant and bar opened last March in the B-listed Caird House overlooking the River Tay.

The building is steeped in history, having belonged to one of Dundee’s most famous sons, jute baron Sir James Key Caird.

The philanthropist gifted the mansion house, built in 1840, to the people of Dundee as a resting place and reading room for the aged and infirm.

Caird Rest officially opened in 1912 and during the First World War was used as a Red Cross hospital.

During the Second World War it housed the Norwegian Officers Club.
