The fish might be OK, but the chips are absolute shite.

Sorry to say this, as the guy who runs Emily's is a sweetie.

I've never had any food approaching what I would call "excellent" at the Herne, in fact quite the opposite.

And yes, I've been both for Sunday lunch and in the Summer.

Apart from the fact that it has a kids' playground, which is good if you have small kids, I can't understand what anybody sees in the Herne, frankly.

Sammy Youssef, He's still around. retired. Sometimes eats at Si Mangia Nice Chap. - Did a nice breakfast. He owned Thistles on Lordship Lane too - Now Le Chardon. He ate my starter once when he was sitting at the bar - but I forgave him.

He was trained as a Chef in the West End I believe. He had a serious accident on his motorbike driving between restaurants on Lordship Lane and FH Road. Had to scale things down.

Edited for Accuracy.

Whoever owns the yellow and blue place I do wish they'd let someone run a business from it, as I'm sure the right thing would do well - as it is it's just an eyesore.

I'm a big fan of Si M as a good local Italian resto.

The Herne - never had the food, love the decor, the garden's not up to much, the beer's far too pricey.

Si Mangia....always had great tucker in there, also they have stuck it out while others have closed.

As for another chippy we already have the Seamaster and always found it to be sound in regard to both food and customer service.
