    Pretty sure it wont open as Eddie Rocketts, The lad that owns it has cut all ties with the Rocketts franchise. Hes now going under the name "Rockin Joes"

    From passing I cant imagine it will be too long before it opens again. Id imagine it'll be open before xmas.

    They did re-open but changed their name to Small Plate Joe's. They serve a very large burger on a plate smaller than a saucer. You can eat it with a knife and fork and have bits of it go all over the table or you can pick it up in your hands, unhinge your jaw and eat it like a bloody anaconda.

    Went there today. Wouldn't recommend it at all. We had a 45 minute wait for our food & when it came it wasn't nice at all. Disappointing.

    Restaurant on Mother's day? It shouldn't be, but it always is a disaster in my opinion, its like a supermarket the day before Christmas Eve.

    At least you didn't pay, (you did send it back right? )

    Ah, I wouldn't class or as a Mothers Day restaurant though. It was busy, I will give them that alright. But the food was just a let down. It was awful. We didn't send it back as the children were starving so we encouraged them to eat what the could.

    I get you with kids, other than that I'd send it back too, but when the kids are hungry every second seems like an age.

    I was there a few weeks ago, I only got a coffee but the food looked lovely, pretty much the same as it used to be.

    Was in their about 3 weeks ago with my wife and 4 kids. Found it good and even the kids said Thanks for bringing us. If you know my kids they never say thanks to anything.

    All Rockin Joes are owned by same person, details a dispute and court case are on this link to the Independent. :)

    I preferred Eddie Rocketts myself.
