Sad news. Jan and Nasser have closed Shirley Valentines and auctioned off all the kit. They will be sadly missed by many who have known them and frequented, not only Shirley Valentines but The Hut which they set up and ran for years prior to taking the lease on Rita on the Rocks. Happy retirement to you both you deserve it. North Cyprus has lost two of their stalwart devotees.
Regards Peter, Annie, Charlie and Georgie.

Have they packed up altogether? I believe they still had the lease for the Hut ( we hoped they would return there and get back to the formula which was so popular and successful ). If not, best wishes for the future whatever you do, we will miss you greatly.

I dont know if they still have the lease at The Hut but ever since they left it has been a failure. We went there a few times to give support to the different encumbents but it was never the same.People do not realise that a successful business, whatever it is, demands hard work, dedication and commitment to providing what the customer wants.Success is earned by effort and commitment and that is what Jan and Nasser had in abundance. Regretably Jan%26#39;s physical capability to continue to work has deteriorated over the last 2 or 3 years - although you would%26#39;nt necessarily notice due to her ability to make everybody feel special and the most important person in her presnce.
Love Peter, Annie, Charlie and Georgir

Indeed, we suggested on more than one ocassion that they `delegate` and perhaps develop a Hut 2 and work less hours, with their reputation I am certain they would have enough business to thrive without being open 14 hours a day. However, Jan being a %26quot;hands on%26quot; person didn`t fancy that and staffing would have been difficult too.
We will miss them and our %26quot;Shirley table%26quot; which we occupied several times a year since 1997.

Welcolm Silverrocks,
Wish you all the very best and if you are sucessful there are many of us who will support you. Remember business is not easy and requires almost 24/7 commitment ,particularly in the early stages.Good luck and hope to see you up and running in May.

The Hut is opening shortly with Chris %26amp; Sue the new leaseholders. They are just waiting for a few legalities to be sorted, and everything seems to take so long here, as many of us know! Many of you know Chris %26amp; Sue who will make you all feel at home!
