Maybe so , but they have been in Redcar for decades.I’ve seen them in Scarborough.
I had them in Scarborough in the the early nineties, maybe the late 80’s. Always something I’ve associated with there.Maybe so , but they have been in Redcar for decades.
I'm going to have to do a back to back taste test next time I'm upIve never had a Redcar one so i cant say.....
Context? Why would anyone have need of context. Whenever I meet someone from outside the area I immediately get them in a headlock and demand to know whether they have ever eaten a parmo. The only way to placate me is to eat one there and then or to ask me if the bongo club is still open.What was the context? Was he referring to the PM as a lemon topped sack of sick. In which case fair play.
Yes, once again Stockton has established itself as the birthplace of all things important. Railways, matches and lemon tops.Looking at this, Stockton would be the UK birthplace for it wouldn’t it?
“The Paccitto family first came to the United Kingdom, in 1897/1898, (104 years ago) from Italy. Their first visit was understood to be temporary, and they returned shortly back to Italy. Late in 1898, the Paccitto family returned to England, and Giocoso Paccitto, began a chain of shops starting with a cafe premises/ice cream in Norton Road, Stockton. These premises have long since gone under the demolition bulldozer. They re-sited their shop premises, which are still there in Stockton, along Yarm Road/Dovecot Street junction.
Giocoso started the shops located in Redcar in 1924. The ‘Nova Bar’ on The Esplanade, Redcar, (now long gone) became a favourite for an ice cream in the early days of Redcar. If you are old enough you should be able to remember the premises, over the other side of the road from the pier ballroom.
The present Esplanade premises (next to M & S) are now owned by Mike & George Paccitto. Both premises were running side by side until the ‘Nova Bar’ was demolished. Shortly after this, the family business extended into the High Street. During this time the family expanded further, to the well-known seaside town of Scarborough.”
