Ah well, I dont live my life in curry houses, contrary to popular belief.

That Xoco is gone really is a shame.

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!

[derwentgrove]

> Why did it close, then?

It hasn't traded since the recent police raid.

Is that actually true, or a not very funny "joke"?

Fox, you seem to know, so why not tell us??!

So what would seem to have something to do with why it closed?

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

[DulwichFox]

I do not know..

I heard the same as what derwentgrove said.. Raided..

Not seen anything in the press.. not confirmed.. I simple do not know ...

and I'm not going there..

Sue... Just drop it.

Foxy

[DulwichFox]

This thread is about Swadesh closing .. NOT Xoco Bar and Grill

Foxy

[Louisa]

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.

Foxy.

[rendelharris]

Foxy, if you're going to drop gnomic comments about Sue's assumed reasons for the closure, telling her those aren't the reasons, it's fair enough for her to ask what you mean, isn't it?

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

[Sue]

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.

Well, "puerile bickering" as you call it is also part of life :)

[????]

It's the puerile bickering that I like the best - another bloody thread on Curry Houses is the tedious bit
