Heard some terrible reports about this place.
I tried to enter the place months after it opened only to be faced by a woman with her family who said "dont go in there its hell on earth"

The first of many closures I would of thought. Only kids keep these places going, that's probably why you never see them in pubs, they spend their money on scran , its the new beer.

Never been in the Hartlepool one, isn't this the second time that chain has left the town? but been in ones in the past with my kids when they were younger and they were okay.

Cant remember a F&B in Hartlepool before but agree Nandos might be ok but my money is on a drive through Greggs.

No one goes there for food, all of the food places are on the other side. Starbucks would do well there.

No Greggs in that square mile of the Town you are talking either a 5 minute walk into town or a three minute drive to the Powlett, I can see them being interested.

Most people do... You'd have to really want to go to that place to piss around getting to that side, alternatively you can stay on the other side and have 10+ places to go.

Complete waste of time getting to an inconvenient restaurant just because you prefer the food there. I only eat at places with excellent parking, entrances and exits with clear views, and no speed cameras within two miles.

If they opened the branch of the Ivy there I wouldn’t dare go if it was on that side of the road.

The Frankie and Bennies in Newcastle has been there for years. I used to take my lad when he was in his early teens. It was always over-priced and the food was indifferent at best, but the service was ok.

Good to see the demise of the 'American diner' experience - Nandos really is a phenomenon, without so much as a photo of Ronaldo to tell the young'uns why it might be cool to eat there. There's hope for mankind yet.

That piece of skin between the nut sack and barking spider is called the Nandos, apparently urban speak, peri perieneum :o

I've taken the kids there a few times. Food is overpriced and the service poor. I take them to McD now for the plastic toys. You can't have enough plastic toys cluttering the house IMHO...

How can places like Franky & Bennys, McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King etc. be classed as restaurants when they all sell shite unhealthy food. When can an eating place be classed as a restaurant?

nowt wrong with places you mention as long as you do not go everyday. is the classification of a restaurant somewhere that serves poncy food at rediculous prices and you come out still hungry with gut rot in the morning.
