...the words from my brother's mouth this evening when talking about the closure of The BBQ chippie. Don't get me wrong, he's no lardy but he reckons the best chippie in Porty has gone. Anybody know why?

How are we expected to know why your brother thinks the BBQ is the best chippie in Porty? Why not ask him?

I was looking at the building the other day, the BBQ is single storey and I noticed that the tenement which it abutts has no windows on the side of , which means that one hurdle to building another tenement there doesn't exist. Now if whoever own the BBQ also owns the adjacent art shop then it could make an excellent development opportunity; flats with commercial premises on the ground floor? Maybe even a sit-in chippy?

Clanger 2 is also in mouring for the BBQ
His Saturday nights wont be the same without their spicy, chilli pizza.
He reckons the lease was up and the guys were wanting to try running a coffe shop ( I think thats what he sobbed through his tears )

Now I'm sure I mind a rumour a few years ago that the art shop and the BBq were owned by the same person who wanted to knock through and make a sit in but there were problems re toilet/cloakroom provision/ access.
But before you get you lego building blocks out Porty, is there not a flat around the back of the BBQ?

I don't know about the flat and I'm not interested on the project but i did notice there was an opportunity to build up the way. McColls ( then Farmfoods or Iceland)and The Pop Inn offered a similar opportunity a few years back.

Would car parking not be a problem, apart from my son whining outside the doors looking for napalm pizza ?

(ps you're lucky he's not one of my ginger offspring )

Well thought id try out the new bbq since its under new managment, was a very tasty sausage supper, and the single king rib I had was fab but i was disappointed that they dont serve donner kebabs

Only thing was that the garlic pizza was really dry and cardboard like..but hey, cant get everything perfect...lol
