Customers ‘gutted’ as town restaurant and bar announces closure

A tapas and wine bar has announced it will close its doors for the final time.

Bachata , located at 3 Stans Way, in Horsham, will close on May 2, after the owners said it was no longer viable to continue with the business.

In a statement shared on social media, Bachata’s owners said: “After much consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to close Bachata.

“We had been working towards a transition of the business, however we found the process around the lease very challenging, and with increasing operating costs, it has unfortunately not been possible to move forward.

“As a result, it is no longer sustainable for us to continue.”

They added: “We are incredibly proud of what we’ve built and the memories we’ve created here, and we want to say a heartfelt thank you to every single one of you who has supported us-whether you visited once or have been with us from the beginning.”

Customers with existing bookings will be contacted directly and refunded, and any outstanding gift cards will be honoured or refunded.

Bachata, which proclaims to offer a “taste of Spain in every moment,” has attracted a loyal following in the town, with diners expressing sadness at the news.

Laura Davies said: “I’m so sorry to hear this.

“Bachata offer the best cocktails in town, in my opinion, and the decor, food and customer service combined add up to a very memorable evening.

“I’m so sorry it hasn’t worked out and will miss you.”

Sandra Czaban added: “Absolutely gutted for you, this little gem is just perfect for Horsham.

“I’m so sorry it’s come to this.”

Bachata is currently closed due to staff holiday but will reopen for its last three days of service on April 30.
