    Oh dear, if true and unjustified, I very much doubt that I would be taking my custom to them in the future.

    never a great shop anyways, not much stock in it.
    if that's true about the rent, it's a very small town to be carrying on like that, especially when that close!!!

    That was mentioned here, or on the Chipper Thread I think. Was there not also a mention of it or another takeway moving into where Sligo Kebab House was (man I miss that place).

    Picked up a takeaway menu last week, seems like a nice menu but not much difference in price to bistro. Will try it soon tho

    Has anyone been in the re-opened Crozon? I'm wondering if they're doing Sunday carverys again.

    I hope they will move to another location in town as it says the shop will not reopen, I don't have a car and it's the only place I can pick up big bags of quality dog food.

    No probs. I'm delighted they're back too. Parking on o'connell street on a Friday/Saturday night to run in for a pizza wasn't the easiest and usually the waiting time in my experience was usually between 1hr and 1hr 30 mins, so if they get back to high street with the usually 15-20min wait time and to be able to pull up outside will be great again. Don't think it's going to be too long either.

    Is this for takeaway, the same as what was on High Street, or is the whole restaurant moving back there?

    Any confirmation for a BK on Castle St, or anything going back into where Sligo Kebab House was?

    Yes the takeaway that used to be there before, the restaurant was never on High Street, it was on O'Connell Street originally and then moved to Tobergnal Lane. It was always a takeaway on High Street.

    No confirmation or prove of this, but heard it was due to increased rates on O'Connell Street, causing them to move on Tobbergal Lane. No idea in regards to the takeaway that used to be on O'Connell Street though.

    No where to stop your car legally though on O'Connell street if your are collecting, unless you park on Castle or John Street and run round. Still great to see them back, hopfully they will have the delevery service as well.

    Not that I imagine it should make much differnece, but anyone know if its going to be a franchise, the same as thy were on High Street, or if its going to be entirely owned/ran by the same owners of the Restaurant.

    I don't have confirmation either but I'm pretty sure that the story in relation to High Street was that the building owner (not the bistro owner) went bankrupt and thus the building had to cease trading. I heard that the bistro continued to pay rent for the duration that it was closed until a new buyer was found in order to ensure they would be the existing tenants and be able to re-open as soon as possible. Happy ending for the bistro and I'm sure it was an incentive for the new owner to buy a building with a good tenant ready to open almost immediately.

    No idea on franchises or such though.

    Drove down O'Connell Street today. Its looking like a right Kip. Pretty embarrassing. Closed shops, dirty paving, and grubby shopfronts. Pitty the shop owners dont take a bit more pride.
