| A two minute walk from Yates's, up Margate's pedestrianised High Street will take you to Sheldon's. I walked in, looked around, turned on my heel and promptly exited. A fine melange of the cream of Margate society - there was the local "Staffy" owners' club having a meeting, a motley selection of Chavettes with mewling brats, and the entire cast of extras from Deliverance. "SOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!" I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions - I was rapidly losing the will to live, so curtailed my Margate jaunt by omitting the Sread Eagle and Barnacles. As regards Sheldon's, superlatives fail me! 0/10. 5thearlofwimbourne - 5 Sep 2006 11:05 |
| THE FOLLOWING REFERS TO "THE ROYAL", HARBOUR PARADE, RAMSGATE. The Royal does not warrant being added to this site. I am posting a comment here, because Sheldons's is also "A Thorley Tavern". I, and some friends, had a very good meal in the upstairs restaurant a fortnight ago. The restaurant has excellent views over Ramsgate Royal Harbour. Service was prompt and efficient, the food of a high standard, and not excessively priced. There is a small restaurant bar but no real ale which I can, on this occasion, overlook. No sign of anything microwaved or boil-in-the-bag. No hesitation in giving the restaurant 10/10. However, the restaurant is only half the story. Downstairs is the bar, which is so-so during the day. it gets very crowded in the evening, especially at weekends, with doormen having to contriol the number of people going in. It has a late licence and charges for admittance after a certain time - but why? It's only a pub at the end of the day. Admittedly, they do discos, kamikaze ( or whatever that damn' caterwauling is called ) and have live bands. Trouble does flare up occasionally. As you walk in and approach the bar, your eye is drawn to the nicely signwritten proclamation - "An excellent selection of fine hand-drawn ales". That statement alone is in contravention of Sale of Goods Acts various. There are three engines of which only one is connected, offering a very tired pint of Webster's! It was not busy early evening, but nonetheless, there were dirty table with dirty glasses on them. If you like drinking Alcopops/WKD/Wifebeater and suchlike, fine. Otherwise, go elsewhere. An extremely charitable 1/10. To summarise, go upstairs to the restaurant, enjoy your meal and the view over the harbour, and leave. On a different tack, does anyone know why only one of Frank Thorley's London pubs ( "Aldgate Exchange", Whitechapel ) appears on the company website as there are several others on THIS site alone? Answers on a postcard, please.............. 5thearlofwimbourne - 15 Aug 2006 14:14 |
