Thomas Greens
See that shop fitters have for the last couple of weeks been, in at the old Thomas Greens unit.
Any idea what is on its way?
Yes I heard the same Julie. I think they are taking a great risk with so many bars/restaurants trying to earn a living at the moment and many closing down !! But Good Luck to them. I hope their prices are reasonable and maybe they will have some entertainment on some evenings - but that's another subject isn't it?
its gonna be called hogs head, and is going to be an english run bar/restaurant.
as for entertainment, no point any places having that anymore, with the council putting even more pressure on businesses but making them turn off music by 1.30am or be fined!!! it may be residential here but is also a holiday resort, and the council need to realise that if the holiday makers come ova and have a crap holiday because of early closing times they wont come back, and i totally agree with them, i live here and get fed up at the weekend when iam out as just as things are getting into full swing everything closes!!! not good at all, but good luck to the owners, they are going to need it!
I do not mind at all the music stopping at say mid-night. That is quite late enough when you've had a nice meal at say 8.00 pm and the music starts around 9.00 pm. So 9.00 to midnight is absolutely fine with me, and I would say, the majority of residents over here (also a lot of holiday makers have children/babies so would not wan't to be out until after 1.30 am. For late times (or early mornings) Celebration Cakes you need to go to Benidorm. Just give permission for our restaurants/bars to have live music up to 12.00 (midnight). That's quite late enough - and I think that is being very considerate to the neighbours as well.
It is not only the people who live by these bars who suffer from their late opening, and don't forget those bars down by the new Consum have not been there all that long. They were not there when I moved to Spain! It is also the people who live where these people walk home, and beleive me, not quietly either. This is not entirely a holiday area - there are people who live here who have to go to work the next day. . The vast majority of ex-pats who live here are retired. and do they want to be out drinking and dancing until 1.30 in the morning. I think 12 0'clock is late enough to have music.
I heard it's going to be a cafe/bar run by a couple of English people.
