It's not going to be just a pizza place though is it. It's actually going to be an Italian restaurant (Olivelli) which might be good and might not. Maybe we should save the critique for when the place actually opens and at least give it half a chance?

Well said Ron70, don't know why people can't give a business round here a chance. We are so lucky with what we have. Let business owners concentrate on their business instead of having to see themselves slated before they even begin.

One has to remember this is the 4th ?? incarceration of a restaurant on this site..


One has to learn why previous businesses may of failed. ?? and how to change things to put it right.


It is a large space. Some people prefer more intimate surroundings to a vast expanse with dozens of other diners.

Places which have cubicles are popular because they give diners privacy.

Who really wants to overhear over peoples conversations. There is always someone wanting the World

to hear their opinions.


This is why some destinations may never work.


When I was a child, I was brought up to not speak at the table.. when people are eating.

Yes true.. but things have a ceiling price.. although that does not seem to apply with food & drink in E.D.


If someone starts a business then they have to work out if what they sell or service they provide

can be sold or provided at a realistic price that still covers their outgoings and provides a profit.


This is the main reason why so many new businesses fail and why one can generally spot which prospective

new business is not viable.


It's not being negative. It's being realistic.

I work close by to one of their restaurants, they have an excellent set lunch until 7 for ?11.


Their website shows they have 5 shops - 3 of which restaurants - so not a 'new business'


Therefore I'm sure they've done their homework.

The area does not need yet another Italian restaurant. This is getting ridiculous, surely they've not done their homework and just opened up because of the cinema? It always angers me when people on this forum and estate agents/others claim ED is home to a eclectic range of restaurants - we are not! We just have a lot of the same things mostly Indian/Italian and/or Pizza. I for one have been craving a decent Greek place for years, we have a nice Turkish restaurant which is about to be replaced by yet another Italian. It just appears ludicrous.

      Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
