Hello, has anyone been to this new restaurant? Is it any good?


Wedding anniversary coming up and as usual it is me who has to plan where to go! As we have to pay for a babysitter and their cab home we can't really push the boat out too much price wise.


I would be really grateful if anyone could let me know what this place is like as I love Italian food and we spent part of our honeymoon in Italy.


Many thanks.

We've used it for family get togethers and as a couple. Recommneded for good food, good value for money but it, might, lack a bit of romantic "oomph" essential for wedding anniversary dinner. Lighting is a bit bright - whereas I always look for subdued lighting and candles when dining romantically (husband looks better in dim lighting!!) - it's all a bit bright. Apart fcrom this tho' I'd recommend Si MAngia highly.

We went the other night and enjoyed it, it is what it is. Food is fine, atmosphere is good, we enjoyed it and will go back. In other words don't expect the very finest in cuisine but decent value at seven or eight quid for a main. Not somewhere I'd particularly recommend for a romantic dinner as EDDW suggest but not disastrous by any stretch of the imagination.

We tried Si Mangia on Friday night after heading down the road bound for a juicy Herne-burger, only to find the pub closed for a private function. Despite its lacklustre location, the restaurant was fantastic, and the Italian sausage with borlotti beans and spaghetti was to die for. Hope this sparks the start of a Forest Hill Road makeover. What a novelty to walk out of the front door and turn right for dinner, instead of heading straight for Lordship Lane.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
