Soon after being bought out by an evidentially wealthy consortium, Randalls 'men in bowler hats' marched down to their little restaurant at Le Gouffre and informed the chap running it, who was doing an excellent job, and had been for some considerable time, that they were putting his rent up by a huge and incredibly unreasonable percentage. The gentleman concerned, naturally very attached to the business he'd built, actually offered to buy it from them. They refused, continued to demand a stupid rent, he refused to pay it, and moved out, only to be replaced by an 'established' town restaurant who also wanted an out of town venue, who slowly but very surely ran the place into the ground and shut up shop. Randalls is a far cry from the family run business that actually gave a fig about the island or it's tenants, and I think they will find the backlash from what appears to me to be their 'modus operandi' will be huge, and throwing out David will have thrown out the proverbial baby with the bathwater....and serves them damn well right. Not looking forward to nasty development propositions that will look like some sort of cancerous growth, pseudo homogenised 'traditional' UK pub/beach house looking restaurant, minus any soul, and new management freshly imported from the UK to 'update the look and feel' who have b8gger all clue about our island or it's culture, all of which, we'll hate with a passion. I can only hope people vote with their feet. What a shame, an island institution gone thanks to people with too much money and no care for our island at all.... rather reminds me of Sark.
