No issue with that, or the prices may Harbour view Bistro mentioned earlier. Actually had a very good meal at The Highwayman last week although the only other people in there were a knitting group. Recent good meals also at The George, The Swan, The Bridge and the British. The brewery pubs do seem to have upped their game. Coast. I could happily never go again. It was overpriced for what we were served and really slow service. Fig and Olive, also superb recently. The new Turkish place where smearing was was very poor value. The good places are still busy even at this time of year. When you start to see places like The Hawthorne quiet at weekends then it’s a bad sign. Until then the places that are empty are with poor quality, poor value, badly advertised or in a crap location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with certain mods and you're disciplined. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's genetics dude. Some of just have skinny legs no matter how much we squat. Well now there is a trainer who is going to be in charge of a new gym at Prospect Hill. His father may or may not have carried out the fit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StCatherine Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 The Curry House in Castletown is up for sale. It’s not been much to shout about recently which is a shame as was good years ago. Cant see anyone wanting to take on the lease with Callows Yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good food and service a month ago when I was there but only two other tables on a Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hawthorne is probably quiet because its not very good and the staff are miserable They haven't upped their game since the refurb (or the menu last time I was there). It was ahead of the game when they started up to 6 or 7 years ago but if you stagnate you die I can't believe your Coast comment. When did you last go? Its actually cheaper than many of the Brewery pubs are now. They also sell proper wine and not the cheapest shit they can get their hands on that the Brewery offer. Saying that the Brewery pubs are miles ahead of where they were this time last year. The beer is great. If they get some proper wine I reckon they could really go somewhere.

NoTailT Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) If you want overpriced go to La Parilla or whatever its called at the Villa. 15-20 quid for a burger on its own. Fiver extra for chips. Silly money. Edited December 1, 2022 by NoTailT 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much left on that market. It will likely fail at those prices. £36 for a steak too I noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a salmon dish in there 2 weeks ago and it was 25 quid at lunch, seemed excessive, but the place is always rammed.

I can't see it lasting, we are also in the busy festive hospitality period. Its a very weird stray considering its the same people as The Sound and Bradda Glen, both very reasonably priced and nice venues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
