Busters

Hi Lesley, Peter and Martin,

 hello martin lesley and peter we are now back to the good english weather [ not] . we would like to thank u all for the hospitality shown to us by you all, fantastic pub good beer  the best english breakfast in alykanas, and most of all the good laughs we had playing mikes quizes   well done. myself and margaret will definately be back in the future and we have told all our friends about you. good luck from  tony and margaret who where staying at [elenis studios] 

Just a quick message to let you all know Katie Leigh was born on the 2nd July 2008.

Great freindly bar and in our opinion, the best breakfast in Alykanas!  Didnt try the big one (3 of everything, your name goes onto wall of fame if you eat it!), standard one was enuf for us, especially as it included fried potatoes.  Excellent quiz nights, different theme almost every night.  Takes a while to get around to the actual quiz tho, you usually have to sit thru a few games of click, which i liked but hubby got bit bored.  Only small negative, it was so hot in there, wish they had a few more fans around the place. 

m8, me, natalie :D.

Hi everyone

Hi there Martin,Lesley and Peter,

Hi Everyone

Great bar, freindly staff,we ended up there every night after using the excellent local restaurants[ great food ]Just what you need when your far from home,a British outpost in what is a very Greek resort.We will definately holiday there again.A great bar to visit,we had some really good nights at busters,especially playing the naff bar games,what a laugh !

The best bar on the Island. The people and bar staff are really friendly Especially martin. You can get a great full English breakfast or go for the Buster breakfast which if you manage to eat it all you get a certificate. All the food here is really good. We enjoyed it so much we are going to find a home to move to alykanas Just so i can have the breakfast everey morning. If you visit zante you must visit this bar.

we miss you guys loads, sorry we cant come back this year! we will hopefully see you  soon xxxx   



  

Hi Lesley, Peter, Martin and Paul,

looking forward to seeing you all in sept

Me and my family are coming to Alykanas at the end of July for 2 weeks in 2008. And want to know if Busters will be trading then, as it sounds like the sort of kerazyyy place that would suit us all. With the added bonus of a full english brekkie (which will ensure one VERY happy hubby). Also (wandering if im gonna regret asking this) what is click????

I want to come back!!!! I can't wait to go back to busters even if i am gonna have to wait a year, at least i know everyone will be just as welcoming and helpful which will be great as i will have a little baby with me.  Hope everyone is doing well and im sure everyone who has visited busters will be looking forward to going back

hello all at busters
Had a wicked time on holiday and if we didnt walk into your bar because it was cold it wouldnt have been half as fun but so glad we did we definatly found the best bar!
Thanks for putting up with our drunken antics i think 'michelles mix' had something to do with it!
I think the best part was having to watch England lose on Welsh TV!!! ha
Thinking of you all and hope to see you next year
Keep Smiling!

Hi Lesley Pete and Martin

Hi Pete and Les, Dave from Somerset here, looking to come mid Sept, lost your direct number would you be able to speak to Jerry with regard to booking a couple of rooms, when and if you see him can you ask him if he has a room free in caretta. Can you e-mail me as soon as poss.

Had a great time at Busters Bar.

Cheers!    

Had a great time, if you enjoy the quizes that are held at Busters in the evening you may be lucky to win breakfast for two  -  they are the best in Alikanas.  If you don't win I'd recommend them anyway.    

Two weeks of paradise. Had a great time with the family May/June. Geordies on tour 2007. Enjoyed click and the hospitality. Many thanx Steve,Anne,Michael and the twins....

busters bar, fantastic, breakfast was fab and price good. martin and crew were so friendly and made you feel welcome right from the beginning. kids thought martin was great were sad to leave, they thought your hot chocolates were the best. good luck for the future x hickmans/godfreys(all ten of us)

If you want to eat early doors and not bother for the rest of the day, then have the busters breakfast.  3 egg, 4 bacon, 2 sausage, beans, tomato, mushrooms, 2 toast, fried bread, orange juice and a huge tea (or coffee if you like drinking cack).  Very pleasent place to eat as well.

Message for Peter & Lesley,

 Would it be possible for you to post you full email address please.

 We are home again after another fantastic week!!!!!

  Hi  Martin we got home wednesday after just7 days in alykanas and Martin helped our stay along so much with good tips and advice, a real warm genuine bloke. We felt very welcomed and im sure we will return with the family next time. My husband felt so at home he didnt know why he had to pay for his very promt brecky!! He also loved his akido chats every morning it saved him having to talk to me bless. Keep doing what your doing at busters it feels a very warm enviroment!!!! enjoy your winter and Martin chill. Thanks for being so welcoming  Jackie and Rob xx

hi all i know we have only been back for 3 weeks but guess what GET THE BREKKIES READY we are coming back on the 8 oct  AND ITS ONLY THE 2 OF US all kids can stop at home.

  see you all on the 8th

I just don't know what to do with myself of an evening now i'm home. no quizzes, none of martin's electrocutory household objects and noone's exclaimed 'you're jokin'!'.

I have been going to Busters for many years now, and i have to say that it just gets better every year!! Ron is just as great as he always has been, and after very thorough and detailed testing of every bar in the resort, Martin makes THE strongest cocktails!! Many of our nights walking home are just a blur.  Highly recommend the Golden Dream and Mudslide! Hope to sample them again in the very near future!

hey everyone at busters bar in zante

     ive just got home from my holiday in zante . i had the most amazing time and going in busters bar every night made my holiday even better. i went with my parents and i think that it was my last holiday with my parents, but i will DEFINATELY be going back to zante and busters bar . i'd like to thank all the staff in busters who made sure that there was a great atmosphere every night and they were all really friendly and laid back who you could have a laugh with. i'd like to give a special mention to Ron who worked every other night at busters dping the quiz and CLICK!!!  he was a great guy who made me and my family feel very welcome and he was great at doing click and the quiz, we had so many laughs. i think us pie eater lost every quiz, oh well!! we still had a great time. hope to see you again soon Ron and thanks to his wife for her lovely hand printed cards THANKS BUSTERS BAR for a fantastic holiday!!!!

Hi Pete, Lesley, Martin and Dave, hope you are all well. We are missing the place like crazy and we have only been back one day !! Thanks for making the holiday really fun. See you all soon !! Jason, Mel and Bump !!

BUSTERS WAS A GREAT ENGLISH BAR WITH FANTASTIC HOME COOKING JUST LIKE HOME AND THE STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND MARK WAS A GREAT LAD TO GET ON WITH  

Thanks for a great 2 weeks, everyone very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. Enjoyed the quizzes(just because we-the terrible two kept winning). I think i enjoyed the night of my drunken stupper even though i cant remenber but the photos were good!so you dont need to send them to Corrina. Hope to come back if get the chance.    

The Terrible Two, The Girls or Gillian & Carol  xx

Well done. you made our holiday yet again. keep the breakfast and black pudding on order will be there in five weeks.

Busters in a nice bar, run by really nice people, I have visited the Bar several times during my holidays to Zante and have always been more than happy with the service and company.  I also like to visit Greek establishments (Bars Taverna's, etc.) I really enjoy the entire Greek experience. Buster provide a safe place for me to take my children and I get entertained too, I don't honestly care if its an English export - whats wrong with that? After all - the Greek's dont traditionally have anything like a pub, the nearest thing they have would maybe be a kafenio or ouzeri, so the bars run by Greeks have been invented for our "holiday makers".  I LIKE BUSTERS - LONG MAY THEY TRADE!!

Hi again Mike,

if i offended you in my comments im sorry but you did the same with your original comments.This is the end of the matter and i hope you have many more happy times in Zante cos i know i will.

I think its me whos hit a nerve Mike.If you dont want to be " negative " as you put it keep your comments based around whether you liked the bar or otherwise not on the people who like to go there.If i really didn't like going abroad would i want to go.....DOH!!!. I always go flight only so i'm not making your hol cheap, sorry old boy.{p.s do you know the price is going up next year mmm curious}.And on the burger thing if your gonna buy me one better make it early on cos your probably tucked up in bed by 9pm thinking of what you can "moan" about,maybe " a slightly fussy child " or very loud and irritating neighbours" { of which you wouldn't get on Meteora }or " over zealous salespeople " with " chicken in spit" { this time the greeks get ridiculed for not being able to spell correctly in english,hows your greek???}.All the previous statements and theres probably more, you might have thought would want to make you stay at home ????? mmmm curious!! Happy days!!

Oh dear, the “some of my best friends” apologists are here again, must have touched a nerve. I’m delighted people like Garry exist and indeed make up the majority of “Brits abroad.” Like a bit of local colour, a contrived “Greek” night and an occasional plate of tsatziki but need the reassuring security blanket of pukka pie, chips and a pint. I think that you'll find that the hugely witty sheep analogy more accurately fits those that go with the crowd, leaving the "real" Zakynthos to those that want to spend their entire holiday there rather than just dip their toes in. Having said that my holiday wouldn't exist at the price it does were it not for Garry and his flock so long may you continue to enjoy it.

Oh dear!! the " when in rome " bleaters are here again.I've been all over Greece and i like to eat 'stifado,dolmades,mousaka,saganaki,greek salads etc.I like to sit in a greek taverna by the waters edge drinking ouzo or metaxa.But i also like to eat the odd nice english meal and have a pint of beer and be entertained,not to mention meeting new friends and socialising.Many mums and dads with young kids find a place like busters a godsend because it keeps their kids happy and means they can enjoy themselves too.This is a tourist resort with bars and restaurants purposely built for tourists,there are plenty of other places within Greece where these bleaters can go if they want to experience the real Greece but they might have to share with the other bleaters!!! Baa baa

Don't want to be negative but just to put another viewpoint on here. Busters bar is a perfectly nice place run by nice people but it has nothing whatever to do with Alykanas, Zakynthos or Greece. You might just as well be in Tenerife, Torquay, Torremolinos or Telford..a little slice of England designed for people who like to go somewhere hot but can't stand really being abroad.

Been to busters on numerous occasions over the years from the time of opening to present.Know Lesley,Peter,Ron and Jackie from when they worked at the greedy greek in 1996,when we went back in 98 they had their own bar.Even on the last three times that i've stayed in tsilivi i've always been over to say hi.Food is still as good as ever and lesley always does me a wicked j.d & coke.If your reading this Lesley say hi to everyone and no doubt i will be seeing you again sometime.Cheers to the best bar in Alykanas from Garry {Halifax}.

Hiya everyone got back ok had to fly through the storm.

apart from being a man u fan dave was great, needed a**enal shirt as no sun.  hope you have a good winter. no fifth state in america ending in 'o'. see you next year lots of luv sue + stephen

This Bar can only be described as one of the most welcoming in Alykanas. The standard of food compares with that of the best rated restaurants not only in Alykanas but also in Alykes. The breakfasts are excellent and in the evening when you get fed up eating Greek food try the Pukka pie chips and mushy peas and you will be very pleased you did because the quality is outstanding. Good Luck and best wishes to all and next year I have decided to eat at Busters and keep the wife as a pet 

breakfast was great and well priced. did not like the card game on a night so went elsewhere.the bloke doing it was so loud you could have heard him in alikes

  BERNIE AND MANDY  PLEASE GET YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS TO ME SO I CAN SEND YOU THYE MOVIE OF YOU IN BUSTERS BAR  WHY DID THE COPY I DID NOT WORK  GET MY PPPHONE NO FROM DEB AND BUDA

We`ve been home a week and are missing the Busters breakfasts loads, really friendly welcoming staff - thanx alot.  Had a fab time in Alykanas n also enjoyed watching the Ashes in Busters - what a result.  Once again to all at Busters, fantastic bar n see you next year.

Pam & Mark 

I can't say enough about this place, Busters is brilliant, but Lesley Peter and Paul are the best. Not to mention Dave who's a right laugh. Think they just about had enough of me taking photos! but I needed the reminders of a great holiday. Paul introduced us to Colin (lovely bloke) who took us round the north of the island in his disco, we had a brill day, went the scenic route. Brenda is lovely always had a smile on her face. If you like to sit round the bar in the good company of the people that run it then Busters is for you.
