Not a great meal from Escondido! Slight repost from the blog, just so it goes on the all new (slightly worse than before) page about Escondido, part of my guide to Sandgate bars and restaurants:
Actually it wasn't 100%, Escondido had a bit of an off day, forgetting my starter, then bringing me the wrong main, then rushing my second main out so fast that it wasn't really cooked. Fair play to them, they knocked 50% off our bill. Also (not their fault) they've changed the menu, and messed with the Bunuela pudding, adding chocolate to it, boo
Shame, but I'll be back again ASAP... Check out their new menu online.
This is part of my site The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when I first moved to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a regular visitor for a few years previous to that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and things, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today 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 get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
