To all our wonderful customers , Cafe Rubis has been closed since March 2020. We passionately believe your safety and our staff's safety comes first. When lock down was eased two months ago we struggled with the idea of reopening , but we knew Covid had not gone away and won’t go away until a vaccine is available . Closing a small business wasn't an easy decision and we understand the realities of people’s mental health from isolation , the need to socialise, get back to normality and share a night out with your friends ‘n family . However serving food n wine when face masks were not worn was going against common sense . The past couple of weeks have proven the decision to open bars n restaurants was misjudged as our hospitals have become critically overwhelmed during a time of year when elderly and chronically sick will require these limited resources .. Cafe Rubis Wine Bar will sadly remain closed until a vaccine is available to everyone and everyone’s safety is guaranteed . We know this is a difficult time , but only together can we beat Covid, so please wear your face masks , wash your hands, social distancing , stay at home when possible and in the defiant words of Vera Lynn ..
We'll meet again, Don't know where, Probably Rubis,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
