Renowned Cork<\/a> bar and eatery The Silver Key has successfully exited a receivership process, with the proprietors expressing relief after ’10 incredibly challenging weeks’.<\/p>\n

The Silver Key Bar has been trading for decades under the ownership of the Campion family, and is also well known as a popular spot for eating out at its on-site Italian restaurant, Il Primo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, it entered receivership in July<\/a>, continuing to trade through the process. Luke Charleton and Alan Large of EY-Parthenon were appointed as receivers and this week, that receivership process has reached a successful conclusion.<\/p>\n

A statement from the receivers said: “Luke Charleton and Alan Large of EY-Parthenon can confirm that they have been discharged as joint receivers of Silver Key Limited, which has now returned to control of its director.<\/p>\n

“The Joint Receivers would like to thank the staff, customers and suppliers for their assistance during the period of the receivership.”<\/p>\n

The pub on Churchyard Lane in Ballinlough is also renowned as a favourite for sports fans, just a short walk from Cork Con rugby club and Cork GAA’s second home, P\u00e1irc U\u00ed Rinn.<\/p>\n

A statement on social media from the Campion family said: “After 10 long and incredibly challenging weeks, we are delighted to announce that The Silver Key Bar & Il Primo Restaurant is back under Campion family control … we have our keys back, our business is back in our hands, and we are looking forward to welcoming our customers through the doors once again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We want to thank our incredible staff, loyal customers, friends, family and everyone who supported us throughout what has been an extremely difficult period.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Renowned Cork bar and eatery The Silver Key has successfully exited a receivership process, with the proprietors expressing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649703,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,4257,79,103902,61,60],"class_list":["post-649702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-cork-business","tag-cork-news","tag-cork-pubs","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
