I remember Cafeteria Yum Yum - had a few nice, well priced meals there
I also remember a big fellow with a beard who used to ride around on a green scooter with a sidecar - this would have been in the early 80's
One year we stayed in the Apartments Veronique - there was lovely old fella who was in a wheelchair - he had had his legs amputated. He just sat on the pavement for most of the day - really lovely man !

I remember Snr Vall on his frozen triped
Great memories of the Coach House. We had many enjoyable family meals there while the kids played on the sand or climbed on the huge pine tree that leaned over towards the sea.

The Coach House was wonderful lots of shade on the beach from the trees, the owner name escapes me used to run the local youth football team.
Next along back to port was what we called in the old day Faulty Towers hotel Bahia nice coffee and brandy on the terrace served by Manuel.
We used to meet up on the beach with nice lady who used to have a little white dog in her basket on the front of her bike.

Pepperoni Man,
We remember both these gentlemen, we stayed in the Apartments Veronique in 1983.
Snowy,
If I remember correctly the owner of the Coach House was Juan, a lovely chap, we spent many happy nights watching the sun go down from the Coach House.

Wonder what the health & safety man would have made of all those kids right up in the branches of that tree!

It was indeed Juan who had the Coach House - his wife is English or Scottish, I think she may be Kathy - she had the hairdressers on the Formentor road and the little gift shop next door.
After Juan left the Coach House he took on the beach consession for the sunbeds and shades.
I haven't seen them for a long time - they lived in a very nice villa in Gommar - just along from Eleanor's place.

A trip down memory lane
We still see Juan from time to town in town and also when he pops into Little Italy. As far as I am aware he still owns the premises there.
Dad used to love his food and when it was 'his turn' to cook, he simply went next door to Juan's Coach House and collected the menus so we could choose what we wanted to eat. It was always a real treat as Juan would bring the food round to our terrace and lay up the table for us.
And then, if we were lucky, lovely Lorenzo Valls would come along on his motorised tricycle, shouting out 'helados' and we'd buy one of his delicious ice creams.

We always went to the Coach House on our last day & had Pa Amb Olis for lunch after we had to vacate our room at the Puerto Azul - back then we didn't eat out much but made do with the Pto Azul buffet 
(with the occasional escape) - well the Kids loved it!

After a hard day on the beach in front of the Coach House we always had a Bloody Mary or two from Juan on the beach before he shut up at 6 p.m. for the night (because the Pinewalk was so quiet in the evenings it wasn't worth him staying open!)

Do any of you remember the yellow vintage car that was driven around the Port, it was a mobile advert for The Bulls Head and then The Nags Head and Trotters. Well it has popped up again in the car park behind the Health centre and i am told a well known diner owner is hoping to renovate it , follow the link below for some pics taken this morning.

Yes Sparky I rescued from a dark garage where it had been siiting for around 5 years and this winter will be restoring the car to its former glory for all to see, but with our business on it, I am sure young mr Sparky will be sending you the pictures when I take him for around PP when complete
