He said: "It's with a heavy heart that I tell you that GRIDL will be closed until January. I expected the winter months to be quieter, but due to the road closure at Trevemper, and subsequent traffic jams during my peak periods, I am unable to keep running GRIDL at a loss. I have tried and tried to combat it with no avail.
"GRIDL is my life. I have worked and lived like a crazy person for the last year just to make it work and aim for some stability so you can imagine, this was something that I really didn't want to write. I hate having to close and I have no idea what I am going to do but if I want GRIDL to succeed long term, I need to press pause while I still have the option to do so.
"I will be keeping the lease going while GRIDL is closed so my spot stays active, so it will be straight back to normal service in January .
