TWR – Bar Nears Completion
OK the bar is almost finished, but we have another restaurant to push on with. I feel sorry for the workmen they are giving it their all. Hopeful by next Friday they will be all but finished. I am very thankful for their hard work and determination. We’d better get in the kitchen and cook [...]

TWR & The Talis Sterns effect
The Talis effect was in full force last night. At the start of the day yesterday it was raw emotion, clearly we were going nowhere. Things were just not happening as they should have been, all the bar detailing seemed miles away. When were those chandeliers going up? The kitchens, problems not just in Spice, which was a [...]

A few small hiccups
Walking into The Waiting Room and Spice Temple Monday afternoon did not fill me with confidence. We are a long way behind where I expected to be after feeling so confident on Thursday.
