They went on to say The Gannet will welcome guests for its last-ever service on New Year's Eve.

The venue also teased its exciting new plans for a brand-new spot called Eleven Fifty-Five.

In the post, the eatery said: "It’s with mixed emotions that I write this, but it’s time to close one chapter before opening the next.

"We will be welcoming guests for our last service at The Gannet on New Year’s Eve. "The Gannet has been open for 12 successful years, and we are immensely proud of what has been achieved.

"Many milestones have been celebrated, and many memories made. Together, we have built a remarkable restaurant - a true cornerstone of hospitality in Glasgow. "I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to our network of producers and suppliers, without whom we wouldn’t have been able to go on this journey.

"Their passion and guidance have been a constant source of inspiration. The incredible teams we’ve had the pleasure of working with who embraced our philosophy wholeheartedly and made it their own.

"There are far too many talented chefs and front-of-house professionals to mention. Both Kevin and I have constantly been humbled by their enthusiasm and dedication. "A huge thank you to our loyal guests. We have loved sharing our take on Scottish hospitality with you.

"We’ve been incredibly lucky to call many of you friends; your support has been greatly appreciated. "We can’t wait to share our exciting plans for Eleven Fifty-Five Argyle Street in the coming months, but until then, we are looking forward to welcoming many familiar faces between now and the end of the year, we have some incredible events lined up. "Of course, all in-date vouchers will be honoured, and if not used before we close, can be carried across to the new restaurant with the same conditions."
