So my name is Vincent, I'm the area manager for Fort London Road and the auction house in Peterfield.
00:04
What sets you apart here from elsewhere, the restaurants in the area?
00:09
Well to be honest we have a very versatile offer. We've been established since seven years already.
00:17
We offer mainly dishes to share, kind of tapas style. We have a huge variety
00:27
offer also for gluten-free, vegan and dairy-free. We relaunched our new menu
00:34
last Monday on the 18th. Yes we are a very mix of sort of dishes between Mediterranean
00:43
and food. So yeah. Perfect, perfect. And what's the culture like here? Is it quite a relaxed culture?
00:51
It's a very relaxed environment, it's very friendly so dishes coming when I'm ready,
00:56
it's no particular order so it's very interactive with the table.
01:00
Yes it's very relaxed atmosphere to be. Perfect. Obviously we're in Haldane,
01:09
so it's obviously not one of the busiest places but obviously you seem to be doing really well
01:13
and thriving in a reasonably small location. Why do you think that is? How do you actually do that?
01:18
Well to be very honest we are very focused in customer service. So even it's a small town
01:26
the offer is very unique for the area so that makes us very popular. So we have a huge variety
01:33
of dishes probably around almost 50 dishes in our regular menu. Plus we have a huge drink
01:40
cocktails list so that makes us a little bit popular because it's slightly different from what
01:46
the offer in the area is. Do you have people traveling from city and around and from other
01:52
areas to come to you? I'm very impressed to be very honest we have a lot of people coming from
01:56
Portsmouth, Southampton, Hayling Island, Fairham, Haven is quite close but still people traveling
02:04
from so yeah it's not dramatically. So what's your most popular dishes here? Well we have a couple of
02:12
popular dishes even the menu we relaunch is quite new. We redesigned a couple of dishes we used to
02:17
have in the past like the prawn pil pil and chicken pil pil. They're very popular. We have tuna steak
02:23
and potatoes bravas very popular in our offer. We try to resource also for local suppliers so our
02:33
butchers in Hainesworth, our general wine company coming from Lipp Hood so it's quite local you know
02:40
try and supply us to be honest. Yeah yeah okay great and what's coming for a stand out of your
02:44
the new menu that you've introduced this week? What's kind of? Well we had a couple of things
02:48
we introduced in this week that we have the barbecue brisket which is very very tender and
02:54
lovely a piece of meat. We have the pulled ribeye absolutely stunning also and we are going to
03:01
introduce also in our offer a brunch which we hopefully planning to relaunch it for two weeks
03:09
times from now. Perfect and how's the obviously been a few days now the new menu's been out how's
03:14
that been received by customers? Listen we are very happy for what we are delivering at the moment and
03:20
the feedback from our customer where we aim to have is it's extremely good it's fantastic so
03:27
they don't see the difference on quality because we are betting this time in food
03:31
in our new offer to be honest to uplift our our offer. Yeah perfect perfect and have you got
03:37
anything else planned like any events planned or anything that customers should look out for in the
03:41
coming months? Well we are planning to do three four big events this year so the next
03:49
formal event is Las Vegas at Fort London Road which is at 27th of April we are fully booked
03:58
for that event. Okay. And the next one will be rodeo party at Fort London Road the 3rd of August.
04:06
Okay. We have another event in close to winter time and then we have New Year Eve.
04:13
Oh perfect so you kind of run themed nights every so often. Yes. So what does that say for example
04:19
the Vegas night what's that going to entail? Well Las Vegas it's a casino night at Fort London Road
04:26
so it's a theme party we launched here with a four courses meal and a welcome drink.
04:34
A menu is a surprise at every single event we do. It's like a blind date. So and is there still
04:39
tickets available for the rodeo? Yes it's still tickets available for rodeo party on the 3rd of
04:46
August. Okay yes and what's that that's obviously cowboy themed? Yes it's a cowboy theme yeah it's
04:53
a wild west party at Fort London Road. So we relaunch these events normally three or four
04:59
times a year and then these ticket events it's a private event normally.
