And are now clock-watching ready for opening on Saturday 15^th January 2011 at 5.30pm!

It's all official and we are all legal

And not stocked with just alcohol!

Our stocked bar!

We have had swing doors put in to the entrance of the desserts area and another wine display rack put up above the wine fridge and moved the other one from behind the bar due to the lack of room

Cooker and fryers.....

Shelves have been put up for utensils, pots and pans and organised Geoff-style!

So Geoff's kitchen, once all the equipment was put right, looked like this!

As we are so close to opening we have had the floor re-painted as it was getting scratched up form workers dragging equipment and furnishings in and out of the restaurant

And the stud wall and surrounding area around the equipment has been tiled white

Well gas has gone into the kitchen and we have had a stud wall put up to cover the door that was there from when this was a hotel room

Some decor has been put up in the place by Geoff, however they may not stay in that exact spot but it is giving us an idea of how and where to put things.

We have had designed a wine bottle holder which has been displayed behind the bar like so. Don’t worry – these bottles are just for display; they will hold full ones!

The same has been done to the gents toilets as well and all toilet seats in the restaurant have been replaced by nice solid wooden ones.

We have finished the ladies toilets. The mirror has been replaced by one that is somewhat more appealing than the last one we had and Geoff has put up a glass shelf with decorations to make the place feel a little more personable. The sink has also been finished and a towel ring put up.

We have had signs made up from a family which does engraving and they have done us proud with these

And somewhat less exciting for you, we have gas. The guys are in there this weekend connecting Geoff's kitchen equipment up so as soon as that is done I will post pictures.

Very British. And absolutely brilliant – we love this and feel it just finishes off the bar quite nicely!
