Don't talk to me about that Sea Cow, its a great chippie if you like your chips and fish freshly defrosted. An over priced over-rated fast food joint for the mindless masses who have never eaten a decent fish supper.


Emily's fish bar on North Cross Road is the best in the area. I always get a fresh fish cooked every time I walk in.


There is another one on Half Moon lane, Ken's fish bar or something. He has a couple of spurious 'awards' on the wall claiming he is the best chip shop in the world or something. He isnt.

I only remember commenting on your restaurant a couple of times, so not sure that it's usually me! It's just my opinion - I've nothing against the place, and if most people like it then great.

Do you still have that dreadful very loud singer with the guitar in the restaurant?

We went to Si Mangia once, thought the food was brilliant but were so put off by the terrible music (snuffing out any chance of conversation too) that we've never been back.

I'd second this. Was in there last night with son no 2 - it does what it does really well. It's a local, family run Italian that provides good food at good prices with friendly staff. The occasional Limoncello provided with the bill is always a nice touch.

"Bald Bloke" was Giuseppe my son loved him. I believe he has gone to Sicily to open a restaurant.

And Si Mangia is the best. And good value! And Music is rarely there. The should open their Garden. Pity they can't get the canopy to work any more . Now its winter we don't need to wind it back though! Sea monster never seems to have customers its good to have an 'unpretentious' food place I suppose but cant see them surviving.

Si Mangia is a brilliant local restaurant, don't knock it!!!! We don't need another chippy. A good bistro/wine bar would be good though, one with lit candles and good red wine serving coq au vin and beef bourgignon. (very 70's retro) Somewhere inviting on a cold Winter's night. Or somewhere like the 'Real Greek' yummy.


That parade of shops could certainly do with a tidy up, although it's definitely an improvement on a year or so ago.

FHR is better than before, but the strip is let down by the scruffy looking blue and yellow place next to the barber's and the corner shop that has been left seemingly abandoned for years. I like the coloured bollards but think a few more trees could break up the monotonous concrete paving.
I agree more trees. More were planted originally but some have died. Why is there never a maintenance programme for anything it seems in this country? If something dies replace it ??????, plants need tending to until they become established. It's false economies as they will probably now have another planting programme 5 years down the line when someone in the Council realises that there aren't as many trees as they had planned for.

I do.....?


Si Mangia OK...seafood pasta great, service outstanding, but other than that....meh.


Yellow and blue restaurant I used to go to loads when it was open and that was amazing but no-one liked it. Guess Fish and chips is the catchment's preference.


French Cafe ditto: excellent service, food ok. they let dogs in but I wouldn't take mine dining so that's not a good enough selling point for me.


Best place for food without doubt is The Herne (at least on Forest Hill Road...)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
