In 1964 Mr. Mario Tambaros rented
a retail unit on Albion Street in Hull. This unit became a Coffee
House and Restaurant called The Omelette. After a few years he
took over the neighbouring unit and opened "The House of
Kebab" During the next few years the two units were combined
to create one restaurant. After about 20 years of business Mr.
Tambaros decided to sell the restaurant and moved to Brighton
to open a Hotel.
The restaurant operated for 5 years
under the new ownership and the name changed to "MARIOS"
It is not clear what exactly happened however receivers closed
the business in September 1988.
In December 1988 On a visit from
Brighton to his in-laws George
Tambaros (Mario’s son) decided to go to the old haunt for
a meal.
Devastated to find the Restaurant
closed and also looking for a business at the time George and
his wife Tracey decided to buy the restaurant back. With an aim
to make good food available to a wide range of people, George
was keen to open a restaurant in the city and after 3 month's
renovations the restaurant re-opened as The Omelette. After 9
years successful trading the restaurant closed for 2 weeks. It
was totally refurbished and renamed GT’s.
George and Tracey both felt that
the name should be changed to help keep up with modern expectations
and to try and emphasise that more than omelettes were available.
The name change however was not
well received. Regular customers refused to accept it as did the
suppliers. The phone was answered "GT’s Restaurant"
and people would ask, "is that the omelette?" So, knowing
that people were not happy with the name it has been updated to
GT’s Omelette Restaurant.
Acceptable by all......so-far.
