Mamma Mia Focaccia and The Champagnery close on Amoy Street after less than a year

Mamma Mia Focaccia and The Champagnery closed together on 23 September 2026 at 94 Amoy Street, less than a year after the Italian sandwich deli opened. The team attributed the decision to rising costs, despite the queues the deli had attracted. 2413

When did the deli and bar open?

Mamma Mia Focaccia opened on 21 October 2025 as a grab-and-go deli centred on focaccia sandwiches. Its four-day launch promotion offered free sandwiches to the first 50 customers each day during a specified hour, giving the new shop an attention-grabbing start. Reports later described long queues for its generously filled Italian sandwiches. 91025

Behind a red door inside the deli was The Champagnery, an evening venue serving champagne alongside focaccia from the shop. Its opening month is less clear-cut: an October 2025 report described it as already open, while a later account said it opened the following month. The available sources do not establish a reliable exact opening date for the bar. Both venues closed on 23 September 2026. 15384

Who was behind them?

Two S Creatives operated Mamma Mia Focaccia and developed The Champagnery. The group’s other venues include Asador, the speakeasy 60ml and Next Door Spanish Cafe. 8

Why did they close, and what did the team say?

In a joint farewell post announcing the closures, the team said: “Like many in the industry today, we have found it increasingly difficult to keep afloat amid rising costs, and we’ve made the difficult decision to close our doors.” It also thanked its team, partners and guests. Reports quoted the team describing it as a “tough time of late.” 26

That is the reason the team gave publicly. The available reporting does not establish which costs mattered most or provide a more specific financial explanation. 24
