Tom Scotts Restaurant Crookes, has it closed down?

[pippadoll 10]

We walked past on Friday night and the bar was completely closed.

Does anybody know if it has closed down?

It was open this evening.

Looked open, but empty of all customers (unsurprisingly) on Thursday.

Why unsurprisingly?

Why unsurprisingly?

 

Indeed, why?

Really pleasantly surprised by food here recently.

 

Just needs (in our personal view for what its worth);

 

A couple of straightforward menus (lunch and evening) - bit confusing at min.

The bar to be open a bit more consistently.

Bit of background music.

 

Have noticed this place being a bit quiet and was a bit unsure when we went in. But as I said, the food was really good for the money.

 

Hope it does well cos there's not much like it in the area.

Sadly it's nowhere near as good as Spinroc's used to be. I used to go in regularly when it was Spinroc's but have only been in once since it was Tom Scott's - never again.

A poor show indeed.

 

I remember predicting it wouldn't last long as "The Grill on the Hill", and sure enough it didn't, nor do I imagine the latest incarnation will continue for much longer.

 

Crookes just needs to look to Broomhill for a bit of inspiration in terms of the food industry - witness the massive popularity of The York, recently re-opened with a decent food menu and cocktail hour drinks offers, or Thyme, serving good reasonably-priced and fairly unfussy food.

 

Apart from Zara's, I wouldn't choose to eat out in Crookes any time soon.

From the looks of the website - http://www.tomscottsrestaurant.co.uk - Tom Scott has either been a bit slack on the web developing front, or they're having an overhaul.
