Durban - The city’s landmark Florida Road party street is back in business, but there’s still a long road to return to the buzz of pre-Covid times.
“The curfew is the major restriction and we don’t turn over tables quickly, so the limited number of diners also has an impact. “We close our kitchen at 7pm. Florida Road was always the late-night destination and in the past, it would be 8.30pm before it started coming alive.” Butcher Block’s area manager Zane Ramnundlall said business had started to pick up with last weekend, a pay-day weekend, being busy.
“We are losing about 25% of trade, but we are not complaining, it’s business as usual in the new normal. We have no alcohol after 9.15pm as our staff have to get home. “That has dropped to below R100 per head . Instead of ordering a fillet steak, a customer will order nachos.”
