Thanks for the PM's.

We all want VV/19H to be a success and will be delighted to bring Farleys Rusks with us for the next visit!

Cant wait to try it!

Hoya 19 Hole -

We arrived late on Saturday and the place was buzzing ( we can see from our place on Mananza 3, would loved to have gone over but too tired from travelling. We have been 2 times since then, one for a drink on the terrace, and for an evening meal. They offered a potato dish to accompany the starters foc, which we thought should be put on the menu like a tapas, it was really tasty. The meal was good and if we had not found a couple to talk to then we may have been able to make more comment!

The prices are reasonable, someone said cheaper in the town? but hey surely it is the venue and location that everyone has been craving.

We for sure will be going there again soon and long may they continue :-))

Thanks for the info,if the food is good well thats a big plus,as the venue is definitely good,great views and lovely terrace,as for the prices it was always more expensive than town when it was Jag's, so what's the difference you pay for the service and location,and you save 20 Euro' getting to town and back,and doubt you would only go there,you would still visit the town.

I'm sure Manolo will sort it out.. after all that investment in time and money he will not want also to 'screw the pooch' http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/screw_the_pooch

Have been to 'Hoyo 19th Hole' for lunch, just had a starter from the Restaurant menu but from tomorrow there will be light snacks available upstairs e.g. sandwiches etc. The chefs are the same Spanish guys who were at the Clubhouse for 3 weeks when Esuri River Golf first took over so hopefully we will be able to sample their food for longer this time. Regards Bryony

Lets hope we can all convince Manolo to serve full meals upstairs not just snacks. I'll certainly try. Shame on a nice day to have a 'proper meal' but not on the wonderful terrace. The resto downstairs in Summer isnt my preference for having a 'proper' lunch. Or on a nice evening, dinner. If he hears it from enough people hopefully he will change that...

Let's give the guys a chance to set things up their way, after all it's only been a few days and it's their new venture. I am sure they know what they are doing and more likely to do it properly unlike the last owner? A social, drinking and snack/tapas terrace would be good to start with and if you want a full meal it's not to far to pop downstairs. Once they get some profits in and under their belts they will be able to expand on staff and extra things to please us all. Last thing we want is another all singing and dancing venue that goes to the wall. Over next week and looking forward to giving them my support!!

guesswork

One thing nobody has mentioned is that the bar area downstairs has a new layout.

The bar itself has been moved with its back to the lift shaft where there used to be some seaing.Which means that the area where it was situated is now a much more usable space.

The kitchen is now situated downstairs to the right of the entrance.

Thanks. Are they set up for the footy w big TV's?

Jon

V.S

I heard they are not allowed to have any audio sound at all not just live music but TV as well apparently??

V.S

Its crazy but the 19th hole only has a bar license and not a restaurant license so technically they are only allowed to serve bar snacks and tapas and NOT full meals which may be why they are not being offered upstairs?

Uncle Buck

Come on VS, let's not go down the same route as Jags again!!

Jon-Bxl

Tv wouldnt make much noise inside. Didnt know about the food thing and explains why Manolo's hands are tied, its not him being resistant to change
