From the Temple to the Grill
January 30th, 2009. Posted by luane
The push to finish Bar & Grill has already started…
Spice is in full swing and the boys are just finishing cooking on a busy Thursday lunch. We still don’t have our liquor licence which is a real bore as we can’t get the bar and wine list fired up…but we still need the same amount of staff – not exactly what you want in uncertain times.
Meeting after meeting the focus is on the builders delivering a finished Bar & Grill by the beginning of March. The kitchen on Level 1 has arrived and the ceiling exhaust is going in on the ground floor; and still the painters haven’t finished that level one kitchen! It is a push and we seem to be running later than I would like. All the great ground floor stuff arrives on the 9th February, there is no way the space will be ready. Andy and Barry it is up to you – I’m still pushing Barry to finish Spice Temple, just a few defects and breakages that are still a problem.
The guys in the Spice kitchen are dealing with a really bad exhaust issue, its too smoky and there area way to many escaping chilli fumes for us to breathe.
Another day at the office and this doesn’t get any easier. I guess if the liquor licence doesn’t come through soon we may have to look at how many kids we can employ. Again not a result the Goverment would love I’m sure.
