    Sure what's to refurb.....Lidl is great for prices but unless rents are realistic then local business won't survive

    You never know what's going on behind the scenes, things could be a little tired around the edges which you can't really afford in a food business.

    Time will tell anyway.

    The butchers closed because they were having to get the place rewired. They mentioned they hoped to be open today.

    Looks pretty abandoned anyway...

    Chef (Coolmine, also owners of Host, formally of Clonsilla and still in Ongar) are taking over the Aurora unit. Just the takeaway as far as I can tell, not the restaurant.

    Is it defo the Aurora unit? I've seen what looks like a bit of shop fitting going on in what was the Indian. Well it's either that, or removing what was in there. Could really do with a chinese back in the area anyway.

    It's definitely the Aurora unit. The refurb in the Indian seems to be taking an age, they've put up plasterboard walls and all in it.

    Yeah, I wasn't sure if the walls were there before hand or not, but there was activity in there last week and I saw someone go into it late yesterday evening.

    Aurora unit is being taken over by Chef as January mentioned, takeaway only, the old Tanjore Indian is also being opened as a Chinese takeaway by Angie who used to manage Aurora.

    Yeah, saw the sign in the window of the old Aurora. I wish Angie the best in her new place though, Village Park Restaurant I think it's called.

    No, no way to order online. They're not on Just-Eat.ie or Marvin.ie.

    They have a FB page with a menu on it - https://www.facebook.com/Chef-Garden-Thai-Chinese-Takeaway-144798429216653/?fref=ts

    They are both now Chinese takeaways. Village Park is the other one. They are on Just-Eat.ie

    Reopening under new owners in time for Paddy's Day apparently. Very few details but the interior is being worked on.

    I hear the new owners have taken a long lease to reduce the rent (10 years is what I was told).

    I wish them all the best, badly needed

    Was just saying to my husband a while ago while we were up there that it was a pity they were letting it go to waste like that.

    Apparently Chef are reopening the restaurant part of the old Aurora unit too.

    Any update with this? Had a look in the other day after taking money out. Wouldn't mind applying for a job there if it reopened.

    Sadly not reopening by the sounds of it, seems a 10 year lease had been agreed but then a % of takings clause introduced which killed it dead.

    Surely to god it's better open giving some rent than closed giving none.

    Have a few variety nights, polish beers, mixed satellite, beer and a burger for €10, pub quiz, bingo, vary it and people will use it but rent and conditions have to be realistic

    Pretty silly to require a percentage of the takings. However wall to wall TVs will only send it down the same road again, will attract those wanting to watch soccer and few others.

    Pure greed on behalf of twinlite again.Nothing new there.When you look at the amount of units empty since 2005,which could have been occupied if not for the extortionate rents.It must be the worst run town centre in the country.They were quick to take the money from us when buying houses here but have no regard for the residents.I have heard it said repeatedly that the family behind that have more money than sense.

    I went over there yesterday evening,the amount of streetlights out of order made it dangerous to drive through.

    I hope that things will improve with the change of ownership.It cannot get any worse.
