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.

No, they aren't.

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.

    • Doesn't surprise me, the same demographic voted heavily for Brexit while the media would have you believe it was solely the Red Wall that did for Remain. Of course, Farage & Tice are classic examples of that demographic. I read somewhere that a lot of it is driven by boredom and mischief, the thrill of being a disruptor. Let's hope that by the time they start soiling their beds, there's some poor souls still left in the NHS/Care System to wipe their bony backsides. On that subject, at the last GE a Reform voter was asked how would they personally pay for health care if Reform privatised the NHS as Farage has proposed. ''Oh, I'm sure they will look after us somehow''. And we're not supposed to call Reform voters thick?...
    • Should this thread have the words "Carry on" added to it ? That of course would lead to questions on who plays whom  Sid James as Farage or is Kenneth Williams more appropriate 🤔  We could have a whole separate thread on this alone.  
    • For reasons I don't wish to explain, I have 2 good tickets to sell for the Champions Cup final on May 24th in Cardiff.  It's Bordeaux v  Leinster Northampton. Face value is £112 each but will accept less if there's genuine interest. Send me a PM if you are.
    • Apologies for that confusion.
