The missing menu on the website is a real blunder - I was looking forward to this opening but not having as large an entertainment budget as I'd like I'm a bit chary of booking without knowing a rough cost or what I might get to eat. If the nice gent who was on here before is still looking I'd say that's a bit of an essential!

Fair enough so, but I'd still say opening a new restaurant these days with a website which has nothing on it but three lines about the type of restaurant it is, directions and a booking form is a bit of an error.

Must still be in 'soft' opening mode, as Mrs Cat tried to check it out for lunch yesterday and it was closed.


The 'fake' review looks like an attemp to perhaps influence internet searches (seo) not just the EDF, as I've seen the exact same review on the hot dinners website.

A new restaurant opens in your area.. What is the first thing you do ?


Yes.. You have a look at their Website..


Where are they.. ?


What's on offer.. ?


Prices.. ?


When are the open.. ?


No website so you pop down to have a look and find it.. Oh it's Closed..


New businesses need to get a basic website up and running BEFORE they open.

Keep their potential customers informed.

Not having a website gives the impression that they do not intend to be around for long.. Like they are just testing the water. ?


The Spinach 'concept' seems a good one that could do well. Just keep us informed.. I'm sure you will.

Menu online is essential, surely?


Do they have a website? Google only returned a twitter feed and I clicked through on a link from their twitter and my browser wouldn't take me there warning of malware.


Twitter apologies for erratic opening hours, but back to normal hours from tomorrow- which it seems are just breakfast to lunch, with no evening openings.

https://malware.opendns.com/?url=www.spinach.london&server=lon16&prefs=&tagging=&nref

Walked by lunchtime.. closed but seemingly some work in progress inside..


Looked at Menu in window.. (No opening times displayed.)


Yellow Sweet Potato Curry ?11.00 rice extra at ?2.50.


?11.00 for potato curry ? Is that good. ? Cheepest main on the Menu.

Ok.. You pay for it.. I'll eat it and report back.

Foxy is a pensioner


And as I see with my father in law - as one's capacity to earn more money is gone and your income is no longer increasing (other than perhaps a pension being indexed linked to a low inflation level) it seems that its difficult to understand current pricing, when compared to monthly income.


I fully understand this.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
