He rarely drinks and he's on a diet. You're ****ed.
He can hold the windbreak
There must be a reason for it. But im sat on st marys st now having a sneaky glass of wine, and its rammed. Waiters having to ferry things across ro tables nowhere near their actual bar. Its nice (if slow), but could really use a sort of covered area in the middle with parasols and additional seating. No idea why they went with castle st but mayne there is a logic to it that we mortals cant see
Here's a current list of places that are signed up, more on the way
Bute & Co
Bwyta Bwyd Bombai (3B Cafe)
Coconut Tree
Dusty Knuckle
Fab Burgers
Grazing Shed
Heavenly Desserts
Marco Pierre White’s
Mowgli Street Food
Wally’s Delicatessen
Wok to Walk
Zero Degrees
Sounds alright....got to buy food there have you? Not just a few beers
I haven't actually seen anything that specifies one way or another, which makes me think that you can just get a few beers
Forbidden Planet not on the list. Gutted.
It'll be interesting to see what criteria is required to sit there and whether or not they will waste more of our council tax on security. I suspect they'll have to. I imagine it will prove popular with pissheads on warm weekend evenings. And they'll bring their own booze.
Seeing as South Wales has a fine tradition of nurturing piss heads, it's probably a given, although even standard working people in this region seem pretty proud of their 'piss head' status-'luvs the 'Diff, 'luvs the booze'
I'm just glad the council have stepped forward and created an environment that gives Elevens Bar a chance of surviving the current crisis. By all accounts, the owner's on the breadline and has been working his guts out during the pandemic to earn a few quid. Hopefully, the council's intervention will provide him with some relief and he can start charging people £15 for his burgers again soon.
Think of the workers......
Any idea how it’ll work Delmi, will the outlets that are signed up have staff in the area taking orders from tables or would the customer need to phone the establishment themselves giving a table number?
Probably App based (that's going to spin a few out) if the food is to be delivered. It's actually not my cup of tea, i wouldn't go for it, although plenty of people will (if they don't i'll be hearing about it) and they'll be spending money in said establishments-hopefully it'll work out well.
That’s a no from me then, unfortunately, not into that app lark, given out bank details to a place that I’m not really sure of for food that I haven’t seen. I know some folk are comfortable with that system but I’m of the persuasion that you square up for a sit down meal after you’ve had it.
It's a system called Yoello, I've never heard of it before but from what I can see I think you go to the restaurant, scan a QR Code with your phone (not via an app, via the website) - that then gives you access to the menu, and ability to order and pay. Whether you do that in the restaurant then walk over or do it from the table I have no idea, from the table though probably for social distancing reasons.
Walesonline have confused the issue by sharing a tweet from FORCardiff encouraging people to download the app but their tweet is aimed at getting businesses to sign up, not customers. As far as I can see it's not exactly been explained yet how it'll work for customers, maybe there'll be instruction boards put up or something. It won't be rocket science though.
I think with the seating area not being in the venue I'd imagine you have to pay upfront which rules you out unfortunately. Unless a Pizza Express or somewhere else that you know what you're getting signed up?

"download our app." No thank you.
See my post above about WalesOnline, there is no app for customers, it doesn't even exist on the app store
apparently called the yoello app, not familiar with it, but I'm going to give it a go
I think it's a webapp so no download needed

To be honest I absolutely love the sound of it, especially on a sunny day
Not that many seats there is there?
Disagree personally think it’s the opposite. Allows more space to spread out considering the uptake in punters flocking to the areas
This thread is a congregation of over the hill, 1980s thinking, backward, boring, unimaginative men.
Cities, at least decent ones at that, are more and more being designed NOT for cars. The future is now. If they're taking advantage of the situation to force through some progressive utilisation of space then sod it. The city more than survives fine when the street is shut on the umpteen days a year castle street (and a few others!) is shut for events. People have travelled to city and town centres since their inception, i'm not sure castle street, the cities most visually appealing street being closed will scare people off.
Covid or the internet might put people off coming in, a road closure won't. Road closures in the majority of cases don't affect high street trade.
Castle Street should be utilised as a place to socialise, not for pollution and through traffic. Sorry if that doesn't fit personal agendas, people will still travel if they chose to make it a permanent, semi permanent or seasonal arrangement.
