They've poshed it up in the last couple of years for events. It doesn't mean you'd be sat in effectively a big school hall. https://woodbournehouse.im/our-rooms/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's goat-burgers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 As has been said, the Manx outfit has given the original Karen's a goldmine in free publicity and totally opened up the field for them. I for one had never heard of them but I certainly have now. In fact, what a wonderful ruse it would have been had their marketing folks planned the whole thing. Get some locals to say they are going to open a local version of your superb franchise and then ride in with all guns blazing in the full light of local media publicity. Genius. Karen's would do well to learn from this and to adopt this strategy in any locations they are targeting. The only flaw I can see, again as has been said, is how do you get your intentionally surly service to stand out in the Isle of Man where it is naturally occurring and has been honed to perfection over countless years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame really as it is a great concept and could have done it if they had had just a little advice first. A change of just the name wouldn't have cut it, but coupled with another emphasis like the 'Manx Crab Cafe -we'll pull you back into our reality', it may have worked. Could always ask the genius who came up with the greatest Manx tourism slogan "You'll look forward to going back". "Wotta U Want?" Italian maybe "M.N.X " a la 2 Ronnies sketch "Spudz 'n Herrin" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
