Our customers came from all over the lower mainland and our family worked hard to create a welcoming place with great food, great music and a family atmosphere.    It is with great sadness that we announce we have ceased operations as of Wednesday, October 20^th, ,2010.

Opening a restaurant and serving his granny’s recipes had always been a dream of Boonie’s.  In 2008 he was offered a contract to run the concession and catering inside the Cloverdale Curling Rink.   While there he decided to run it as a small restaurant to see how people liked the food.  Running at odd hours and days due to catering requirements for the curling club, Boonie still gathered a great number of loyal followers while operating out of that unlikely location.  With the contract coming to an end he decided to start the search for a new location.  Finding a location for an independent restaurant in this world of chains proved to be harder than anticipated and we were unable to open again until this year.

We had finally found a location in an area of Langley that we really liked, and it was close to home.   Another odd location – inside a hotel – but since we were able to run in the curling rink the location wasn’t a big concern.   Unfortunately the hotel owners had building permit issues with the restaurant space and the opening was delayed for about 4 months past the original move in date, putting everything on hold.   Since opening in May, Boonie’s Southern Soul has proven to be a popular place with loyal customers, gathering more supporters every day and was even scheduled to be featured on a food network show in early spring.

Unfortunately we have been forced out of our current location.  We are reviewing legal options but at this time have no plans to reopen as it is not easy to find another spot.  Boonie is still available as a personal chef and caterer however, and welcomes any contact.  He can be reached by email at the link below.

Boonie is heartbroken over the closure.  We sincerely appreciate your support over these past few years and will miss serving you!
