You can’t fight the big guys!

T&S Seaside Opens Its Doors
Tank & Skinny’s Seaside is born, situated at the Pier in Buncrana overlooking the beautiful Lough Swilly.
The lads relocate the bakery to the new premises. This new hub will then deliver fresh goods 7 days a week to both Muff & Letterkenny.
With the guts of 60 staff Tank & Skinny had their hands full but with the help of their managers Peter (Number 6), Claire (Muff) and Aisling (Seaside) the lads get a chance to try and keep ahead of the game with new and exciting menus and looking towards the next challenge.

We’re Back
As masks were mandatory, we had to soldier on! The staff just loved their new item of clothing, the customers, on the other hand, struggled to drink their lattes without spilling all over their face coverings. It was like a game of coffee cup Jenga, with the masks adding an extra layer of difficulty.
Seating arrangements became a challenge, ensuring that all tables were at least six feet apart. This meant that the cosy atmosphere of Tank and Skinny’s had to take a back seat to social distancing. But, we made the most of it!

The Terrace
The amazing views of Tank and Skinny’s seaside gets even better!
The construction gets underway at T&S’s Buncrana to build the new terrace area overlooking the scenes of the Lough Swilly. This idea was an absolute must and what a success it has turned out to be!
