I was unaware of that too. That's disappointing as it was good the one time I tried it.


excellent trip advisor rating too https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186338-d10868451-r451931662-Xoco_Bar_Grill-London_England.html

I don't think it's surprising that Xoco has gone.


It had a strange menu, strange decor and terrible music. They turned it off when we asked because we were the only people in there, but if we hadn't been, I'm not sure I could have stayed.


The food we had was OK but by no means outstanding.


I'm sorry to see such a new business fail, but I'm really not surprised.

It would seem none of that had anything to do with why it closed..

Why did it close, then?


It had only just opened, after months of brown paper over the windows!

It's not a joke. I was told about the raid by another restaurant owner on LL last night.

Eyes on the prize everyone please. This thread is about Swedesh. I've searched the planning portal to no avail, it does seem suspicious to me that a whole row of shops are now empty in a prime retail spot sandwiched between a cinema and a successful butchery. Does anyone have more information on this? Do Parkhill own those buildings?

Why did you post about it on this thread then? It wasn't me who brought up Xoco, nor me who posted that it had closed, nor me who hinted as to the "real reasons".


FFS.


If you want it dropped, maybe practice what you preach, eh?

I did not mention Xoco.. Michael Palaeologus did.. and I simply said it had closed..


It is your very self that continues to harp on about why it has closed..

and I do not know the facts of why it has closed.. So I have nothing further to say on the matter..


Appology accepted in advance.

I take it then you'll be going back and deleting your several comments about Xoco closing, about other LL restaurant related matters not specific to Swadesh and your little divertissement with Lou about the prices at a curry house in Cardiff?


Hypocrisy thy name is Foxy.

Oh please. So tedious for those of us making the mistake of reading this thread thinking it's about the closure of Swadesh. zzzzz

That's what happens with forum threads.


They're like everyday conversation. They touch on loosely associated issues as well as the thread topic.


If it had stuck to the closure of Swadesh the thread would have come to a natural close ages ago and be way down the page of threads by now.

I don't mind threads like that. They're fine. It's the puerile bickering that gets me.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Ms P · Posted

      I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.

      JP Plastering - John McCann - Recommended Plasterer

      By Ms P · Posted

      John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
