pia-pia Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I have heard a rumour that 'Slammers' on Eccelsall Rd is going up for sale soon? Does anyone know anything? And, heard the same about 'Thyme' too. Any help would be appreciated. Pia x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Slammers is owned by Cary Brown, who also owns Carriages. http://www.carriagesrestaurant.co.uk http://www.slammersseafood.co.uk/ Not heard about it going bust though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Slammers is REALLY owned by Yyvonne Glover. I would expect to see something happening soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LozBoz Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 oooo if it does shut down i hope Yvonne opens up the bakery again. I loved those choccie muffins!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney_T Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Well it now looks officially closed!!! Seems very odd. When it opened you had to book WEEKS in advance and even recently it looked very busy. Shame as it was a nice restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've had some top meals in there and I too had to wait weeks for each booking, but I haven't been for months as so many new places have opened up so maybe other people have followed the same pattern? Also fresh seafood must be really expensive, constantly subject to market prices, hard to keep and tricky to shift. Its a difficult job to run an independant restaurant... but Ecclesall Rd is a prime location, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well seeing as they used frozen seafood that shouldn't have been much of a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas1 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Well no great loss IMHO. We went once to see if it was as good as people said and.... it was crowded, the service poor - basically like trying to see how many covers they could do a night - we were in and out within an hour or less. The "slammers" were good but the main courses no great shakes. Give me Thyme anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
