YESTERDAY (TUESDAY).
[Before J. L. Bradley and T. V. Brown, Esqrs.]
WILFUL DAMAGE
William Quelch, a seaman, was charged with wilfully breaking one pane
of glass, value 10s. 6d., in the office window of Mr. W. J. Cullen's
premises in Cambridge-road.
Albert Edward Cullen, son of Mr. W. J. Cullen, said the prisoner was
employed as cook on one of witness's father's smacks. About tour o'clock
on Monday afternoon prisoner came to the office with a note demanding
6s. on behalf of himself. Witness told him to go and fetch the captain,
and he would pay him. He refused to pay the prisoner, and he made use of
bad language. Witness ordered him out of the office, but as he refused
to go, he put the prisoner out. He then broke the office window with his
fist, damage being done to the amount of 10s. 6d. Witness had refused to
pay the prisoner because they had had several forged notes recently. The
police were sent for and the prisoner given into custody.
Police-constable Cadman proved taking the prisoner into custody.
Thomas Brockman, a mariner, gave evidence, corroborating the first
witness's statement.
The Bench fined the prisoner 2s, 6d., damage 10s. 6d., and costs 8s.,
and a fortnight was allowed for payment. |
Really a restaurant that sells beer, but of late gained some very good
reviews in the CAMRA magazines.
I just got to add this one to the list, but I don't think Barry Smith
would approve.

Restaurant makes splash with independent observer.
FISH in season have tickled the palates of some very, very demanding
customers to Cullin's Yard, Fish Restaurant, De Bradelei Wharf, Dover.
Up to five extra-discerning diners were evaluating the restaurant
opened by Michael Frajt just 18 months ago and now he has learned
they've placed it as one of the top 50 in the whole country.
Mr Frajt whose designs for restaurants can be found worldwide from New
York to Barcelona, London to California,
learned this week of the prestige rating which will appear in The
Independent newspaper this Saturday.
He said: "It's tremendous for the restaurant but also for Dover itself
because this is a national recognition of something very positive.
"They never announced who they were but they were judging the quality
not just of food but the ambience and the design.
"This had been an old marine
engineer's warehouse and when I retired from my design company I decided
to open my own restaurant because of my passion for food."
It's a passion shared not only with the food critics of the Independent,
Michael and head chef Ian Cocker regularly welcome customers from across
Kent.
Cullin's Yard is open seven days a week between noon and 11pm.

Sitting at the dock.
AT CULLlN'S Yard wine bar and bistro at Wellington Dock, Dover, guests
can dine on superb food while enjoying wonderful views across the water.
Voted among the top 10 seafood restaurants on the coast and the top 50
in the entire UK, the ambience at this super venue is relaxed and
informal.
Cullin's Yard is nautically themed and set in a converted
marine engineering warehouse.
Pop in for a refreshing drink and a light
"snack on the large waterfront verandah gardens or a feast of local food
from sea and land in the bistro.
As you would expect from its idyllic
waterfront location, the frequently changing menu includes fish landed
the same morning and Cullin's Yard is justifiably famous for freshly
caught mussels. For non-fish lovers the restaurant also has a wide
selection of meat, poultry and vegetarian dishes - served with
mouth-watering sauces, dressings and accompaniments.
All of the food is
freshly prepared and cooked to order. You could be tempted by duck liver
pate or prawn bisque with rouille and croutons for your starter. For
your main course you could sample genuine Dover sole or special bangers
and mash - delicious.
Relax with friends and listen to live jazz by candlelight every Thursday
evening and Sunday lunchtime while watching the yachts sail by.
Open
from noon to 11 pm every day, Cullin's Yard is well worth discovering.
For further information please call 01304 211666.

Restaurants, bars and cafés in Kent with 0-1 food hygiene ratings.
We all love to go out for a spot of dinner but we hope the food put in
front of us has been cooked in a clean environment.
Yet there are 20 restaurants, bars and cafes in Kent which have been
given a hygiene rating of zero or one from the Foods Standards Agency.
The hygiene ratings range from zero to five, with five meaning standards
are very good and fully comply with the law.
Cullins Yard, Cambridge Road. Rating: One. The restaurant was given a one rating on October 10 last year. It was found to be generally satisfactory for hygienic food handling and
cleanliness and condition of facilities and the building, but inspectors
found in its management of food safety, major improvement was necessary. |
