- 1 October 2008 22:156884had a round robin e mail from roger this morning about the new mexican restaurant in bench street.
my stomach nowadays cannot handle too many chillis, but i am told that the food is excellent value for money.
the owners seem to have been very quiet about the launch, which is surprising considering the amount of money that would have been spent on the place to make it habitable, let alone pleasant.
when i worked there, it was falling to bits, that was 3 years ago.
i certainly wish them well, they could not have opened t a more difficult time.
maybe dover dick could run his eyes and palate over it? - 2 October 2008 08:146899Yes it was a very quiet launch Howard. I came across the place by accident yesterday and was surprised by it. It looks good.
Back in the days when Mike Webb was TCM, and he was good at it, he used to organise launches for all these places and the result was they used to hit the ground running with an instant clientele who came back, and in the media case gave them publicity, and in my case often went back and gave them publicity too.
There is a lot to be said for launch parties to kick start a business. Its a standard practise almost everywhere but the practice has stopped here in Dover. Bad for the businesses themselves I would suggest, and bad for the movers and shakers who usually went, as these movers and shakers actually move and shake things forward.
Yes we might be able to get Dover Dick to have a look..if I can get him to change out o' that oul string vest.

i also remember when chapter 8 or what they first called themselves moved in.
they were knocking out free grub in market square.
