Lucky's Tapas Bar & Restaurant

Being invited to an event hosted by another business is one of the perks of my job, and I never tire of meeting other business owners in relaxed and friendly surroundings. So it was my pleasure to go to Lucky's last night for cocktails and canapes.

We were made very welcome by Joseph and Minn, the restaurant owners, and caught up with the latest Newbury gossip in very pleasant surroundings. Lucky's are new neighbours for us and the second new business to open on Kings Road West in as many months. This is great news for all of us on Cheap Street and we welcome the newcomers with open arms.

Do we need another Indian restaurant? Probably not, but I'm pleased to say Lucky's DOES feel different to the others and the decor alone stands head and shoulders above anything else in town. I was also happy to see the restaurant weas fairly busy for a Tuesday so the signs are good despite the difficult economic climate. Will I be going back for a meal? Yes, I'd give it a spin - I'm a big Indian food fan and I liked the decor and sophisticated edge.

Attendance last night was pretty poor, but the invitations were desperately last minute. Apparently lots of Newbury hairdressers had been invited but we were the only ones to turn up - sorry Joseph, but salons have got wise to the "free word-of-mouth" invite - it's the oldest trick in the book for salon owners! Also bear in mind that we'd all heard about the "official" opening party in December, and no-one likes to feel B-list!
