Since the day we saw that a Thai restaurant was opening on Bellenden, we were really excited and looking forward to the opening. We went to the Begging Bowl for the first time for a Saturday lunch. On one hand we thought it was a bit pricey. And, despite the number of kiddies there, the menu is not very baby friendly (we had two 18-months old with us, generally non fussy eaters). Anything with noodles would have been great for little ones, but they don't have any on the menu. And many of their meals are quite spicy. I do get that the Begging Bowl wants to be an authentic and sophisticated Thai not just serving green curry and Pad Thai, but we thought that it was a bit of a shame. On the other hand, for the grown-ups the food was delicious, and the staff very nice. The place looks pretty and has a nice atmosphere. I hope they do well.

Hey, we've found a solution then! Disco_Paul will be delighted to welcome them all at his place. It will add a bit of "character" I'm sure. I agree Cassius, I thought it was a very nice place too. Shame.

I've heard the pizzeria on Bellenden shut down. But is there a way to contact the owner to get rid of the outdoor furniture? I guess he has other worries in his mind right now if the place went bust. But it has become the hangout for all the tramps around, and it's always filthy with cans and cigs. Can we do anything about it?
