In fact 40 a week are closing up and down the country.<br /><br />And for all you other philistines (Checksfield) the Indian Princess is not your average curry house. It's trying to do something a bit different, and is for the most part succeeding (foodwise at least). I agree that the portions have got smaller and the prices have gone up in the last year or two though.<br /><br />A little bird told me the Rice Bowl is also closed indefinitely. Shame if true, as their Chinese grub was the best in Thanet.Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-11568192882843321162010-02-15T11:14:48.011+00:002010-02-15T11:14:48.011+00:00The woodcock idea didn't go down well either.The woodcock idea didn't go down well either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-28209940160401980822010-02-15T11:04:40.532+00:002010-02-15T11:04:40.532+00:00I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

This was the case when the Princess first opened but it is now way beyond the wallet of most of us who live here.
