Tsurai, a Japanese and Korean takeaway in Farnham Road and TGF Pizza directly next door both appear to have closed and each have a “notice of forfeiture” stuck to the shop shutters.
The takeaways occupied one unit which had been sub-divided.
Google claims TGF Pizza opens at 11am each day and Tsurai opens at 12pm each day but when our reporter passed both shops around midday on October 15, they were both closed with metal shutters pulled down.
When both TGF Pizza and Tsurai were called through the numbers listed on Google, neither picked up the phone.
The notice, written by One Source, a debt resolution service reads: “The pursuant to clause 43.1 (A) of the said lease, we as authorised agents of the said London Borough of Havering… re-entered the premises demised by the said lease and the said lease is there by determined absolutely.”
Havering Council confirmed to the Recorder that it is the landlord of this premises.

A council spokesperson said: “Tsurai and TFG Pizza, one unit that was sub-divided, and the lease was recently forfeited by the tenant, as confirmed by the notice.
“Unfortunately, we are unable to go into specific details, other than to say this was a matter for the landlord and tenant(s), and unrelated to the wider Harold Hill regeneration programme.”
