After over 101 years serving the Berwick-upon-Tweed community, Fortes Restaurant has prepared its last meal and poured its last cappuccino, as it closed its doors for the final time last Wednesday.
Established in 1921, shortly after Carlo and Annarosa Forte emigrated from Mortale, this was the most northerly of all the Fortes catering establishments in England. From those early days, it has remained in the same family all this time, with their son Alfredo and his wife Heather, and then their grandson, Remo and his wife Liz, taking over after them.
For over a century, a visit to Fortes of Berwick has clearly been a very special part of many people’s lives in this region. We now join many generations of happy customers to wish Remo and Liz a very happy retirement.
