RE: The Sandgate Hotel,

Hi thereWell as you probably know the Sandgate Hotel closed down for a refit (coincidentally not long after the Ramsay Kitchen Nightmare programme). So was interested to go there when it reopened. It now looks much better inside - they've knocked thr...

RE: one thousand percent old skool

Awwwww, I liked that! Reminds me a bit of the video for "Number One" by Playgroup though. And One Thousand Percent, by the way, is the name of a group of sticker artists based in Budapest but proudly spreading their work all over the world. Here's th...

Sandgate Hotel

Went to the Sandgate Hotel last night for last orders, and it's very nice! Can't believe we've not been there before. We shared a very nice bottle of Cloudy Bay on the terrace. There's a small but cosy bar inside, as well as restaurants and accomodat...

La Bougie reopens as Escondido

Doesn't really look like it's up to speed, but it reopened on the second. Good to see these premises in use again. We're visiting on Friday, so will report back. Menu looks a bit pub grub at first glance...Escondido is Spanish for "Hidden" and is a p...

The Ship Inn has finally been extended

This was talked about all the time I used to go in there, I never thought it would happen. They have a swanky looking dining room and new roof terrace now, looks very nice. The front bar still seems the same though.Went past today and peeped in the d...

Yeah it says Sandgate in the piece though

The Grand isn't a real hotel any more is it? We asked in there about rooms, and they don't do regular by-the-night rooms I don't think...

Didn't Sandgate + Folkestone look nice on TV last night?

You'd not have known they went to Folkestone harbour, but Sandgate is all part of our Kentish happy family, being just a short stroll down the hill.Nice to see The Clarendon get a little look in, that �2000 a month the staff were spending over the ba...

RE: Sandgate Hotel is on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares tonight

I heard a rumour that Ramsay was actually going to BUY the Sandgate Hotel (or at least the restaurant)... could be Folkestone's "Whitstable Oyster" factor if it went ahead...

Wow, where'd you hear that from?

No longer for sale, those of you looking to purchase

La Bougie is now the fabulous Escondido, though have a look in the property section, see if anything shows up there. A few hotels have come up for sale locally in the area....

RE: Sandgate Hotel is on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares tonight

Was in the local paper last week. The hotel was "unavailable for comment". It's certainly changing / changed hands, but whether Rammo's involved is another thing altogether.

Cassandra out of Only Fools And Horses

She walks quickly! She strode past me when I was waiting at the bus stop at Warren Street, and the bus only caught up with her at Angel... the bus got held up a bit in traffice, but even so!

Sandy (ex big brother)

As Mnmnmn likes to include reality tv 'stars' in her spots so will I. He was just walking, wearing glasses, hair is scruffy, looked moody. He's the one who escaped over the roof.

RE: Sandgate Dolphin on YouTube: DON'T WATCH IT

I agree with the sentiment about Dave's wellbeing but I fear it's starting to get a bit hysterical?
He's free to come and go as he pleases and he seems to like the company of people. What should we do - fence of the area so he cant get near us?

RE: Dolphins in Sandgate!

Well done Estelle. They are about but are elusive so to see them 3 times is pretty darn good! Glad you've discovered Folkestone too..
