Wrought Iron gates

What I am looking for is 2M high front garden gates, to fill a 5ft opening. Your poor neighbours up the road in Centiannes dont go in for motorised gates and zappers!:lol:
Thanks all the same

Wrought Iron gates

Does anybody know where I can get ready made wrought iron gates?
If not, can anybody recommend where I could get them made without having to take out a 2nd Mortgage?

Elle & Ella

Elle and Ella is a cut above your standard Steak/Prawn and Piri-piri restaurants. The food is more Nouvelle and of very high quality. The menu shows more class and imagination than any of the other restaurants in CVO, and is a little more expensive reflecting the higher standard of cuisine. Its a pl...

restaurant

Hi Debs,
OUR special restaurant has to be Elle&Ella. Is on main road out of CVO, 300M from square.
L'Orange is overated, and too expensive for what it is.

2006 top 5

Does this mean that O Stop is going to be a "proper" restaurant rather than a snack bar and a pit stop on the way up from the beach? That would be really good We were there a month ago, and knowing how quickly things get done, wonder if all that ambitious work will be done in time for the summer! Th...

Why has Happys escaped this esteemed list!!! It's probably the only place in CVO where you always need to book. Its hugely popular with the villa owners, and they occupy it most nights. Wonderful Fish and chips, jumbo Maderian kebabs, and yes...frogs legs! Where else can you have all this and all th...

A Gale is great. We have a routine. Straight off the evening flight from Gatwick and straight to AGale for our late supper. Whenever we arrive, we get a huge welcome from Luis, a really good meal and a feeling that we have arrived home after being away for far too long! The food is always good witho...

Mona Lisa is a restaurant that SHOULD be good, but for some reason misses it's potential. Food isnt bad, bit pricey for where it is. Shame because its within an easy walk of our house!

L-Orange

We tried L-Orange once and never again. Slow service, average food and too expensive for what it is.
Seems like one of those restaurants that used to be good, but now trades on its reputation without actually deserving it anymore.
Elle and Ella knocks it into a cocked hat!

Elle&Ella new menu

As regular users we visited Elle and Ella the evening after it re-opened. We were disappointed. All the old beloved favourites such as the smoked duck starter and the Rack of Lamb were gone. I really do hope that they get it right as they bed down the menu...and bring back the smoked duck and rack o...
