Went there last Friday
There's a lot of wooden benches/tables outside now. Had no problem finding one that was available, although that's always dependent on the crowd/weather. Enjoyed it loads myself!

might check it out sometime... could get take away and go down to the marina..

Just had beef short rib from Gallo and Galetti in Wilton. Meat falling off the bone, super tasty, massive portion of rosemary potatoes with it, perfect comfort food. Got a partially cooked pizza for tomorrow, will be digging into the leftover potatoes too I think!

Enthusiastic review here

huh?

I think most places will do the partially cooked pizza if you ask, only saw it as a menu option in Pompeii though.

Is it only Fridays the marina market is open?

No it’s open 7 days as far as I know?

I think he's probably had a lot of success initially as like myself there were/are plenty out to try the new thing but a business like that will soon depend on repeat customers and I was distinctly underwhelmed and won't be returning. The quality just wasn't there for the price point; they need to fix one or the other but don't be complaining in 3 months when their crowd has deserted them if they don't...

That's pretty much it, you give people value or something outstanding. There is too much choice and great food out there it to think you can rip people off with sub standard food.

Ok that's good to know. Is there a "best" day to go? For example I doubt every stall would be open of a Monday would it?

Saturday or Sunday is when everything is in full flight, some stalls are open daily whereas alot only do Thurs to sun

Wandered around the marina market today. They are putting the effort in to keep it clean and fair play to them for using that building, but just the smell of grease everywhere was not good, or the smells of the waste water treatment plant we cycled past on the way over on the same road.

I was there a few weeks ago and it seemed to have more art stalls , garden plants, and places with ingredients. Today it was street food really, and a heck of a lot of it was deep fried.

I am 100% over disposable single use food containers as well. I know there is no alternative with that style of place, and it’s partly an outcome of covid too. Washable crockery in actual restaurants will be a nice change.

I've booked Sophies, Oliver Plunkett and Tequilla Jacks. Looking forward to checking out Sophies for the first time although I'm not expecting too much from the food, don't know why!

Sophie's is the rooftop one on the new big hotel by the train station?

I would love for you to report back, take some photos of the food please!

Yep, no bothers! I've booked for the 16th.

I havent been but think its expensive looking at the menu but would go for the rooftop experience on a good day.
