As this thread was started to discuss the best chain-coffee, I go for Nero's out of the large chains. However, for the fact that it's cheaper and better than the caff at work's filter coffee, and the other alternative is Starf**ks, Pret's filtered is well priced at 99p.

So wine out of a tumbler is a nono but coffee from paper cup is ok? ;-)


But yeah coffee at Nero compared to other chains is far superior. Eat does ok tho. Pret coffee is undrinkable but their pastries are better than the other coffee chains.

Im with Nero every time. I do agree with Alan Medic, however nice little independent coffee houses dont usually sell a bucket of coffee that has you gibbering & shaking nicely by the time you get to the bottom. A couple of slurps out of a coffee cup with a fat rim and a so wide you could get your head in that is cold before youve got to your table isnt for me.

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
