Just had a great pot of tea and a slice of cake in this establishment. A lovely location with wood paneling and good theming throughout. However the interesting part was the table number/markers. They're all 28mm figures (or rather photo's of). No apparent reason for it and the staff were a bit busy to ask.
So is anyone on here responsible (wouldn't surprise me) or know why?
-
Pictures?
Or were you too busy stuffing your face ;D
cheers

The apple pie didn't last long so there was time for a photo of the table marker. The pot of tea lasted longer.
This was the nook area I was sat in. A Google search for 'Sherlocks Whitby' will give you lots more.

Looks very comfy. And a nice pot of tea with something sweet on the side is always a delight. However, with the warm weather of the last days i'm beginning to dream 'bout a large glass full of cider. Ah, how i miss dear old Blighty.

That was what I said, while drinking tea :D
They quite probably just grabbed them off the web. I just wondered why figures rather than art or just numbers.

I put my money on a very talented painter called Alexander Bews.

Yep! Definitely :)

Fair enough, but the question is why they are on their table settings? ;)
-
Maybe they're...tabletop miniatures?
I'm here all week.

Strips like that do make me think of the prof, Tom and Capt Blood. But there are a few "ebay" paunters that do them well too. And Mr Dixon.
What an interesting place....

Well it wasn't me, i've never been to Whitby... Except in the hold of a ship in a box of earth - mwuhahahahaha!!!
Presumably the proprietor is a wargamer - or related to one?
I wonder if the Prof knows images of his painted figures have been pirated for a tearoom menu on the North East coast ::)

I was thinking just that, perhaps he has been there in a ship in a box of eath too!

I imagine they're already hearing from his solicitors.

Demanding tea...and crumpets!

Alex probably has shares in the crumpet business in the global capital of vampire tourism (well, after Transylvania, anyway...) ;)

If he plays his cards right, he could be in buttered muffin for the rest of his (un) life.

I'd be careful, he may end up with a stake dinner ;)

No, I didn't know. Looks like it's going to be a trend, a few months ago I've found one of my website photos on the advertising flyer of a a very well-known miniatures company. They put the flyer to my order by them :)

What doyou do? Tell them? Ask them for money/free stuff? or just be happy?
I mean the company more than the te house

The "be happy" part :D
-
I'm not surprised, and that makes me happy too!

Having said that a bit of a credit on the images should be the very least they could do.
-
I'm going there tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see if they are still there.
-
I'm pretty sure they are. I think I walked past it a few months ago.
-
Oh wow; look what crawled out of a box of earth after being buried for 8 years... :D
-
lol
-
They don't seem to have the pictures anymore.
-
I have zero recollection of making these comments on the thread. Should I be worried?

I suspect it was to do with Steampunk & Whitby in all honesty.
