Proto Restaurant Group – New Home Page Unveiled

January 23rd, 2011

We have been working on the new Proto Restaurant Group home page since the new year and are very excited to unveil it! It has been jazzed up by making it interactive and fun. You can see the new look below – click on the image to visit our website and see how it all works!

You may recognise some of the styling. We have taken the best bits of The Fish Factory menu and Food menu and blended them into a funky, modern, stylish web page design. Which is your favourite animation? And can you guess which waiter the illustration was styled on?

PS. You can turn the sound down so your boss doesn’t catch you skiving!

RIP. All of us at Proto Restaurant Group will miss you Coppo

All of us here at Proto Restaurant Group are devastated over the loss of Chris Copsey, known as Coppo, who worked over the past 18 months for Splash FM.

Coppo was a broadcasting legend, who was fantastic at supporting our local community, and we felt privileged to have worked with him.

Our hearts go out to his family and friends at this sad time.

RIP Coppo. From all the team at The Fish Factory in Worthing and Littlehampton, and Food restaurant in Worthing.

Whatever its origin, lawn bowls has spread across the world and versions of the game are played in places like Italy (Bocce), Denmark (Bolle), France (Boules) and even Polynesia (Ula Maika). The growth of the British Empire ensured its spread to places like Australia and New Zealand. The oldest bowls green still played on is in Southampton, England, where records date back to 1299 A.D.

Bowls is high on the list of most played and most watched sport in many countries. Far from being a sport for O.A.P.s, bowling is enjoyed by thousands of young people throughout the country.

The English Bowling Association (Bowls England) was founded in 1903 and organises numerous competitions from club to national level while World Bowls, based in Scotland, aims to provide leadership and governance of the sport and encourage its growth internationally. The English Indoor Bowling Association (EIBA) is responsible for the indoor side of the game.
