Fox's Restaurant

The thing is that The Outlook is not a yacht club and, unlike most yacht clubs, it is open to the public so the catchment isn't just those in the immediate area on boats at weekends or in the better months like a Woolverstone situation. The cafe was always pretty busy in the week when I popped in. I think the recent demise is more down to the way it was run. You need to stand out from the local competition in price or quality and chase customers. There was no real attempt to put on 'events' to attract people. They also need the bertholders or the dozens of people who work on site in offices to come and patronise the place. I've had my business in an office on site since before the present tenant came along and have never been leafleted or contacted by email to let me know what they can offer. Let's hope there is a new tenant found soon. It is a decent opportunity for the right people.

Maybe it was for a while but the Landlord also bent over backwards to try and help the tenant make a go of it....

And they closed early. Tried getting a beer at 2030 one summer Friday night and they were locking up. I think people had given up going there due to the erratic opening hours?

Pal tells me that a licence is being applied for so something looks to be happening on the food/drinks front at Fox's.
