Fao ORFC - Tropiero Restaurant

[CockneyCluedup]

You're losing it lad, I remember when you were on the ball with Pubs & Restaurants opening and closing...

Anyways, that Brazilain Restaurant at the top of Botchergate. It's gone. They emptied it overnight last Thurs, and didn't even tell the staff, who turned up for work on the Friday morning...

Blimey, I had lunch in there just before Christmas and I thought it was really good, I was the only diner in though! They're part of a chain, have the others gone too?

[CockneyCluedup]

Nope, website still has others, but no mention of Carlisle on it. Deffo shut, if you look through the windows there's sod all in it!

Will be another bar again in 4-6 months.

(cassa was decent mind)

Can I make amends by posting the Cally re-opening story?

That tropiero place, my brother went the opening night and one of the waiters cut his (my bruv's) finger open with a flashy carving knife. He got his meal for free. - view external link (www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/closed-carlisle-pub-to-reopen-after-450-000-revamp-1.1109245)

Doomed to failure from the very start

It takes a special kind of talented idiot who can design a frontage of a business that looks shut when it is actually open

Ladbrokes has the brightest lights up that end by a mile.

The place looked very dark from the outside,read mixed reviews about it,but summet must have gone tits up pronto.. another failure.

I am moving to Carlisle in 2 weeks (Melbers will be sick as fk) so want to start eating some decent scran out with my lass.
Suggestions welcome.

There's a sign in the door saying it's closed for 'essential maintenance'. Although Crooks owns it,so it may well spontaneously combust...

[melbourneblues]

Don't worry there's plenty of Greggs scattered about to make you feel at home. :)

[CockneyCluedup]

That sign went up last Thurs Night, so over a week already. The Company have deleted all mention of Carlisle on their Website and Social Media...

Story now on N&S website. To me, someone failed to do their research and the place could well have survived with premises about half the size in a more suitable area of the town. Yes I went in there on my own for lunch, but if I'm looking to go and eat out with any of my Carlisle friends, I couldn't persuade them to go and dine anywhere in Botchergate in the evening even if I paid the bill. - view external link (http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/shock-as-another-carlisle-restaurant-closes-1.1110927)
