Gary Moran from Yumi restaurant in the city centre has said they have been “flat-out with bookings” throughout the Halloween festival this week.
“We’ve got loads of bookings, there’s a lot of customers, but we do have some room for some walk-ins but it’s definitely very busy,” he said.
“We have got people coming here for the very first time to try it, which is great to see and then from word of mouth we can then hopefully then get additional bookings from that.”
Mohamed Ali from Maiden Heaven Coffee and Ice Cream Parlour has said they have really happy with the amount of footfall in the city centre throughout the week.
“It’s been steadily busy throughout the day and then it’s been unbelievably busy in the evening,” he said.
“We’ve had to increase our hours actually, we definitely had to increase them and we are working a bit longer over Halloween.
“We usually open until six o’clock but we are now staying open until about ten in the evening now.”
