Hibbs


Good news - Bren, over to you!


TO be honest hibbs I never book for EDF but because it's Stewart Lee I'm not taking any chances. Turning up is usually good enough (if it's by 8ish). Some nights have been packed, others very quiet


The exception to all this is when Daniel Kitson does his mini-residences on Sunday nights. When they happen I have seen 200 people turned away, some from Sheffield and Scotland. I kid you not


At the start of his second Sunday he mentioned the turnaways at the first night and that same night by saying "what's that all about... it's Sunday night in Forest Hill! If you're around, swing by.... but don't TRAVEL for it"


Still some of the best nights I've had mind you


aaaaaaanyway - see you Saturday. At the moment we plan to meet in The Hob at 7:30ish for a few downstairs first. If anyone else has any other suggestions however...

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
