The curry house at the bottom of our road is gone. We didn't use it very often, they were pretty unreliable with takeaway, though was good when I ate in once. A friend was there at Christmas, so it was open then. I noticed the signage was changing again, thought it was changing names back. It's been Raj Bari and Raj Villa and then Spice Cottage (plus of course Little Chef a long time ago). But no, just looks closed now.
No planning notices up yet, but it would be a prime spot to throw a few nice flats up. Would actually impinge on our view if they were high enough, I don't fancy that much! Should be another restaurant, a nice one that made use of the sea view they have.
Will report back if I spot anything.
This is part of my site The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar + voting for favourite venues + things, + I hear it was a useful reference for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
