Party time as Peterborough city centre restaurant prepares to close

Embe, which closes later this month, will have a 'goodbye' party.

A Peterborough city centre restaurateur will be throwing a ‘goodbye’ party as he prepares to close for the final time after five years.

Nick Rutta opened Embe Soulfood Afro-Caribbean restaurant in Cowgate in 2019, after operating from a number of different premises – including a Market street food stall – for more than a decade.

But with the building changing owners and his lease up, he is calling it a day. Instead, with a converted street food van, he will be trading at events and festivals as Embe 2 Go.

Chef Nick said the closing date will be April 18 and it is business as usual until then.

But he added: “We will be hosting a goodbye party on April 13 - so you are invited to enjoy a great buffet, with one last drink and a dance at the premises with us!

"This will be a booking-only event, through the website, and will start from 6pm until late.

“Thank you for everything.”
