Biggin said:I dont know, it sounds too much like a kids play barn to me. I appreciate that regeneration is needed in Stafford and it will help employ more people, but do we really need another eatery? Will it take trade off existing outlets and will those businesses cut their labour force in favour of an american style diner?
I don't like american food, Bush, policies on world economics, trade, heavy handed commercial aggression, plastic patriotism and self righteousness, self glorifying, obnoxious attitude towards other cultures and their forms of government. I don't like the lazy way in which they choose to spell Labour, by missing out the U, and other such words.
grrrrrrrr
I'm soooo looking forward to this now!simon said:I'm having my works christmas meal there so won;t know 'till after 8th of December!
find me somewhere else in stafford where i can get BBQ chicken & ribs, or chicken parmigana, or sweet-cure bacon steak, or meatball calzone, etc. etc. - all on the same menu.. that's before you even look at their plethora of burgers, pizzas, and pasta dishes..Sofa said:Oh my! The menu does look so creative and original, like nothing I have ever seen before. And the way the vegetarian stuff is marked so clearly, I shall certainly be eating there for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.
Yeah...it's horses for courses innit...or is that a different restaurant?dirtybobby said:find me somewhere else in stafford where i can get BBQ chicken & ribs, or chicken parmigana, or sweet-cure bacon steak, or meatball calzone, etc. etc. - all on the same menu.. that's before you even look at their plethora of burgers, pizzas, and pasta dishes..Sofa said:Oh my!

Frankie and Benny's is an English creation. It was devised by The Restaurant Group.gon2seed said:Agree with all the above, but I suspect that F&B's fare is prepared in Kettering by a variey of East European migrant workers, and then blast frozen before being driven to Stafford, blasted in the Microwave, before being flashed in an oven/grill in order to give that authentic New Yoik flava .
Frankie and Benny's celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. Created in 1995, Frankie and Benny's are now open at over 100 locations across the UK. Styled as a fun 1950's Italian American style restaurant, it has cosy booth seating, old black and white photography and a bottle-lined bar in each restaurant, most of which are located on leisure parks.

New Yoik Eyetalian Diner, (if you say it with a Bronx drawl, it works, trust me) in a turn of the beautiful 1920's building, in Stafford, it just isn't right.
Never let it be said I am unfair!
