La Gaditana repossessed :(

[Sue]

It seems the landlord has taken back the Spanish restaurant in North Cross Road as of yesterday :(

There are notices in the window.

What a shame, all that work done on it and then it never really opened :(

Had really wanted this place to be successful but the lack of fresh cooked food meant it struggled. We had a lovely evening there once, fabulous music, attentive staff, great wine ... Left down by re-heated packet food they sold in the shop.

Real shame, though it always seemed more like a labour of love than a thriving business. I love Spanish food, their olives and ham were amazing but they never had a lot of people in there and never seemed to make the hot food business work (didn't help that they took forever to do up the kitchen/eating area).

Hope the guys that ran it don't give up, lovely people and great produce.

The location of the till didn't do them any favours. Always thought it strange walking past and seeing a pair of bejeaned buttocks facing the street, rather than an array of tasty-looking produce.

That was a real selling point, I thought.

Well I walk past the place most nights (and during the day) It was seldom open..

People are not going to trudge down there just to find it CLOSED.

So when it was open there were very few customers. I'm not surprised it closed down.

I'm not surprised it closed down but it was a nice place, nice food and staff. Agree the refurb resulted in a badly planned shop / eating area which was a shame. Hopefully it will be taken over by a similarly nice bunch of people. Would be great to have a Spanish tapas place a la Miss Tapas or Angels & Gypsies (but better) :)
