Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

It wasn’t long ago they released an article saying that had already approached TGI Friday anyway. Either the vote is just a publicity stunt or are all the options are interested.

 

There’s no way they’d include one who wasn’t interested, cos if they win the vote then it’s bad publicity. I’d imagine all 4 are interested and wouldn’t be surprised if all 4 came. It would be a good message for PQ to announce all 4 at once ‘due to popular demand’.

 

It’d give the place a massive boost.

 

Let Gino di Campo open another crap restaurant like the one on Bransholme.

 

Kingswood. It’s been rebranded with a shorter name.

 

I've heard that the Hotel has pulled out of this development, so it will be converted into apartments.

 

Walked near it the other day and I honestly can't tell that it has changed.

 

This will be a great addition to the city centre.

 

I don’t know if this is serious or not.

 

Why do you think it might not be?

 

I love Pret

 

Chap who started Pret also started a small chain called Itsu, really good but only a handful of outlets in the south. A combined Pret/Itsu outlet would be brilliant, but unlikely.

 

Because a Pret isn’t really something to get excited about. They do alright food - I like the Mac n cheese - but you can’t throw a stick in any city centre without hitting one.

I’m amazed Hull hasn’t got one.

 

Itsu is all over the shop, ****loads in London and they have it in Leeds.

It is good food.

Edit - just seen it has 70 stores in England.

 

Yep, didn't realise that.

 

But that’s the point.
Pret does decent food for that type of thing, but the main thing is that Hull hasn’t had one before and getting one shows confidence in the city

 

But I don’t think it does, cos every single ruddy City already has about 4.

Every journey starting with a single step and all that

It’s certainly not a bad thing so ****ing relax
