Would anyone be able to help please?
We visit next week and I was wondering what time is best to visit the Slowboat on Wednesdays or Saturdays? Is it best to get there when they open or maybe after the rush of customers later? I would prefer later is anyone would recommend this?
Thanks for your help.
Always busy on pensioner/locals/tightwads nights. :D
You shouldn't have any problems whatever time you go.
I find it's cheap enough ANY night..don't need to go cattle night (and then moan that favourite food had run out) and you still get 2 -4-1 drinks every night of the week
Avoid Weds & Sat would be my advice.
Thanks for the replies.
Does it get quieter after any certain time?
Chinese in Caleta my word you will be wanting Sunday roast next?
Think il quit this forum. The comments are always sarcastic or insulting.... And to think I wanted to live in caleta.
Or maybe I should just holiday AI and not give any business to the local businesses or have any variation.
My comment was only meant as a light hearted one, hence the smiley.
We have a place in Caleta and plan to retire out there, there are many worse places to be and there are plenty of nice people there. :D
Was not directed at you personally, just the last two posts I have posted have attracted sarcastic and unhelpful comments.
We too wanted to one day find a place in caleta and retire there, we do not miss our annual trip and are visiting more this year

What is the difference between eating Chinese in England,and eating Chinese in Caleta.If you like Chinese or a Sunday roast,it's your choice whatever you want to eat. >:(
I think meggies reply was tongue in check d enboy was in slowboat last night and it was lovely and not too busy.

The problem in Caleta Hev, is too many cheapos are obsessed with Happy Hours.
They don't realise Bar Owners have to pay: Taxes, Rent, Social Security, Music License, Staff, Stock, Fire Extinguishers, Accountant etc etc. No happy hour at the Cash & Carry, or the Landlord. :o

As if ?? :D
Denboy l couldn,t agree more everybody should do whatever they like, their on holiday after all. As Hev said it was tongue in cheek following other posts where certain people have had a go at others for enquiring about Sunday roasts.
Sadly the Red Lion pool bar at Villa Florida is the latest one to bite then dust ...

Hev.....I heard that it's was moving above Gory's (the old Jabs)
not what you'd call adventureus, travel 2,000 mile's to the canaries for a holiday and enquire about a friggin chinese instead of trying something a little more local, sad really. :( :(

I heard the owners of apartments got it closed down because of the drunken dross that accumulated there.
Too much noise and foul language :o
Apologies Meggie,i took what you said literally.It annoys me when someone tells people what they can and can't do on their holidays. :)

Here we go again.I've been going to Caleta three times a year for well over ten years and spend quiet a lot of evenings eating Tapas.I also like Chinese and typically English food.What is wrong with asking about about where to get a decent Chinese.It's not as if Caleta is a typical Spanish resort full of Spanish restaurants. >:(
try taking yer blindfold off ! ???

What, like dive bombing in the community pool drunk, at 4.00 in the morning, shouting and screaming, waking everybody up :o
Thank God for unadventurous brits I wouldn't make any money without them. Love every one of them..
no one can tell people what and what not to do, it's called "passing an opinion" in my book, so put yer dummy back in, you won't be missed with your whimpish input's anyway ! ....denboy ! ....do yerself a favour and go count how many spanish owned restaurant's there is in caleta. ???

Yet another key board warrior,would you be as brave face to face,i doubt it.Bye bye moron.
face t' face ! ....now what's that tell yer ? .... it'd be no bother to me, what yer wanna do ?
There's a few face t faces going on lately. Used to be for a pint and a chat ...now it seems like its for a tear up.f :o
Bluefox = the type of comments which in my opinion are far from helpful and quite frankly rude. Suprised if you live in Caleta as most I meet are friendly!
So please enlighten us Mr Clever Cloggs, how many Spanish owned restaurants are there in Caleta and please list them?!
And for the record, we eat out every night whilst on holiday at different restaurants and drink in different bars. I take a daily walk to the bakery rather than hiperdino and am happy to try local. And for one night I fancy a Chinese as they do a blinding and lively honestly roast pork which I have not found replicated in the uk!
By the way, Chinese was extremely busy Wednesday 13th April with a queue out the door and down the steps at 9ish.

no i'm not a "mr clever clogs" far from it, all i did was pass an opinion then get accused of allsort's, and no again i could'nt name every spanish eatery in caleta, all i know is there's quite a few, also something i've said many time's is reading a post is often interprated completely different to the way it's written, having said that, if i get a "smart" remark i'll give one back, whether it be right or wrong, i don't live in caleta i have a place in costa antuiga i bought 12 yrs ago and spend many month's at a time there.
And all I asked was how busy does the Chinese get. Spend 2 weeks holiday a year in caleta and eat at the Chinese twice at the most. Hardly jetting 2000 miles just for the Chinese is it?
I think you may find that as someone just trying to request some info, your remark (or opinion) was quite degrading and insulting. If I wanted to eat there every night why is it ok for you to pass judgement on me just because I asked a simple question?
It's really not worth the bother of debating with some contributors, wishilivedincaleta! It seems every forum these days has its share of sad types with little in their lives other than to p*** on genuine postings with semi-literate bile. As you say, most of the people you will meet here in Caleta are friendly, as are most who contribute to the forum. Of those that add a little piquancy to the threads, most manage to at least do it with some wit and a few brain cells.
Out of interest, I do live in Caleta and I can state for the record that genuinely Spanish eateries are very, very few indeed, but the range of cuisines make eating out a pleasure in the town. We enjoyed steak in Fado Rock last night, and have a big party of us going Indian tonight....and probably Chinese later in the week!

You're right, there is a good variety of places. I wonder why there is no Chinese on the list ??
After 21 years here, I've only eaten in two of those places listed. Fado once, and Nestor's once, I tend to favour Las Salinas , Pozo Negro, Chinese take-away, or one of the villages :P
Has anybody eaten in all of those listed ??

Not eaten in 5/6/7 But all the rest. They have all been very good most of the time .I like Fado the owner and staff make a fuss and its such good value. El Patio next door would be in my top 5.

15 is Canadian owned and he's a Ammer. Also to put the record straight Denboy is a top geezer and so is his wife Janet (hee hee) Although I do ave photographic evidence that he was on mainland Spain recently eating doner kebabs
I honestly don't know how Fusion 22 got on there (maybe he has loads of mates who poll Tripadvisor) as it's the worst Indian restaurant I've visited. Was amused to see how his other restauramt Delicious 365 was really trashed on all the social media sites and forums when the Spanish waiter refused the blind guys guide dog into the 'restaurant' Pics of the waiter (ignorant / arrogant sod) were everywhere. It cost him a LOT of trade.
An apology was apparantley offered after the owner was shown all the posts. Shame on them for letting it happen.

Thanks for the character reference Appy,think i will get slated for eating Kebabs in Spain though.They were made by a Turk,and were lovely.Not really a kebab eater,but kept going back for more,thats how good they were.Just going on the Lloret de Mar forum now to recommend the restaurant.
Nearly forgot.....We are both fine thanks Fi,hope you're well too.Nice to see you back on the forum again,it needs some helpful,informed people on it ;D :)
Denboy, you mentioned Loret De Ma, is that where you stayed ? if so, did you by any chance visit the resort sort of next door ? Tossa De Ma, reason i ask is just wondered what it's like these day's, it's where me and the mrs met 48yrs ago, keep saying we'll go back, maybe one day.
Paid a visit to Tossa de Mar,looked quiet a nice place.Would go back to either out of season again.Wouldn't go later,would be alive with youngsters wreaking havoc i think. Didn't find a decent Chinese though ;) :)
There is one Den,

At least it was when we went there 23 years ago. :D
I mean't in Lloret Neil.Only had a flying visit to Tossa de mar.Went to see Salford play Catalans in Perpignan,now that is a lovely town,but very expensive.It's cheaper to stay in Lloret,and get the coach up to Perpignan. :)
thank's for that D.B. hope it didn't turn into a mini Magaluf, what i remember most is the small cobbled narrow street's, probably called "the old town" these day's, just thought i must check out google earth might have been covered, sorry yer didn't find a "chinky".
