We went to Caffe Uno Canterbury for the first time on Saturday and it was not good, I hope this rebranding is an extensive overhaul.

Not a bad weekend. Started on a bum note, with a death, my sister's ma-in-law passed away unexpectedly on Friday, so thoughts with all the families involved obviously. Saturday we stayed local, didn't go to Canterbury as Clare was having lunch with her mum and I was staying in listening to Lost podcasts. Saturday night we went to The Famous Ship Inn for the first time in ages, Stuart the landlord tried to talk us into coming back to the Tuesday quiz again but I don't feel like going out in the week really. A nice evening was had anyway.
Sunday we went to Canterbury. Well, it didn't feel right not going. We were trying to think of something interesting to do, somewhere different to go, maybe visit a castle or a stately home or something. We were geed up by this big day out thing, and did browse all the venues listed there but nowhere's open this early in the year. So, Canterbury, plenty of museums and fun, plus lunch and bars and things, we went there.
As it turns out, all the museums and things in Canterbury are closed on Sunday too, even St Thomas' Hospital, which we've been meaning to have a look at for ages. Still, we walked around, and had some lunch and things it was nice. The walking around and things were nice, the lunch not so. We did Caffe Uno, only because we'd like to have an informed opinion on everywhere, I really wasn't expecting much from it and it didn't disappoint. Will write up properly on Folkestone RestauRANTS, I hope Clare will chip in too. After lunch we went to Caffe Venezia, which was much better, it's just a cafe really but it felt like a cafe on a holiday.
When we got back to Folkestone, we decided to carry on, and went to The Office and Chambers. The quiz was on, not many people there, but still we did awfully so left before the end. Out on a Sunday night, what's that all about?

I previously promised to write up a recent visit to Caffe Uno:
... the lunch not so. We did Caffe Uno, only because we'd like to have an informed opinion on everywhere, I really wasn't expecting much from it and it didn't disappoint.
It was Mother's Day, so everywhere was busy, including Caffe Uno, but they did manage to fit us in. Maybe this was a bad sign. Service was a bit wibbly, they were slightly unclear if we'd already had our orders taken or not, but we did order; hot bread and dips, arrabiata and courgette chips for me and a pizza for the good lady. There was no soap in the toilets, doubly essential when we're eating with our hands, the waitress said she'd inform the manager, but nothing was done by the time we had to eat, blee. "Luckily", they completely forgot to bring the bread so we didn't have to face up to our dirty dilemma, straight on to the mains. They were both a bit cold really and generally uninspiring, and the courgette chips were slimy and greasy.
It's not a big important review, but I thought I'd share. Coincidentally I heard from someone who visited Caffe Uno in Portsmouth and it was the best meal they'd had in ages. Caffe Uno is to be rebranded as a Chez Gerrard apparently, so I'm guessing this means a big change all round. I hope so.
