Think I might have done it!

[21TonyK]

Might, just might, have bought a 40+ cover restaurant. A proper, full-on restaurant. Not a play around thing but 4-5 staff plus event catering with mainstream food in the summer season then higher end stuff for the local market in the winter. A couple of doors down is charging £12 for a starter and it's No.1 on Trip Advisor. I ate there last night

Could be trading in under 2 weeks!!!

/anyone want to KP or FOH, I need staff!!!!
(already on to the college to pick up some AMA kitchen bods)

whens the first PH outing there?

[fergywales]

Congratulations

If you need anything F&F wise, I have a warehouse full. Send a list of requirements if you do. Sure I will have something to suit.

[TheRealCarlL]

Wow! That's amazing, top job!

Where abouts you based??

[RobDickinson]

Wow ace! good luck!

[Wadeski]

What kind of restaurant is it?

[Pferdestarke]

Well done - you've clearly got the talent for it. Now to make it pay!

I'll be down when in the area for your 12-course tasting menu (with wine) ;-)

[Simpo Two]

So you can actually say: 'I liked this restaurant so much I bought it'!

[Mobile Chicane]

Awesome!

When and where? Happy to organise a posh house locally for a PH trip down...

[Bob the Planner]

I hope it happens Tony. Best of luck and will try and visit next time I'm in the UK. I hope it will be to the standard of the cooking competitions (or better !).

Where are you based?

Oh and congrats!

[21TonyK]

I'm in South Devon, Brixham to be precise. The intention is to go with informal family orientated dining with a French influence which ties in with the history of the port.

Right now I've got to go back to basics on it, front of house needs redoing but fortunately the kitchen is pretty much bang on.

PH meet up would be a laugh once/if I get up and running. Still no deal signed but paperwork ready to go to the solicitors!

[Shaw Tarse]

Hpoe everything goes well, will be up for a PH meet there.
Is there a B&B handy?

[Aydogflipper]

Spot on mate well done.

Be interested to here how you get on after seeing the pictures you have posted on here.

Funny that actually, as I'm down there in June for the trawler race! Sounds like a great venture and I'll be keeping tabs on this thread to see whats happening as i'll more than likely pop in when I'm down there!

[escargot]

Tony, bloody brilliant. Well done indeed

[JayBM]

Congratulations Tony; hope everything goes to plan.

Will definitely look to visit once your up and running.

[WestYorkie]

Well done that man. Really hope everything goes well, you've obviously got the talent for it.

[madbadger]

Well done Tony.

Sounds daunting but a brilliant thing to do all at the same time.

All the best with it.
