5 of us when to The new 66 Steakhouse on Saturday 18th, firstly we were a little late, but we were put on a semi circle that is only comfortable for 4 people, so we had to get a chair on the end,The light above us was very hot and was on very bright we asked to turn it down after a fair amount of fuss the light was turned down, we ordered drinks that took an age to come,the young girl who served us was not very confident and was a bit clumsy she said Shit when she nearly spilt my drink, the staff were not as friendly as we would hope,
The 5 steaks we ordered (simple order in a steakhouse you would think) took an hour and a half???? The side salad was very plain and the chips cooked 3 times? disappointing, could be lovely as location is.
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fever of excitement when we first moved here sometime in '04. I'd been a regular visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. This site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and things, and I hear it was a useful reference for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper 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 Twitter.
