I love dark humour but too soon toto


Good that nobody was hurt. Nevertheless a fire is terrifying for anyone present. Plus the fact that a fire (even a small one) can easily ruin a small business and certainly causes much stress/ distress


Best wishes to everyone involved

I don't think we should be making jokes about such a serious issue. If you think of any more wisecracks, just hold the line for now.

Anyway..


The fire brigade were back this lunchtime.


Evidently the fire brigade removed much of the interia of the kitchen.. last night. Panels and the like to prevent

the fire from breaking out again. There were a lot of people on site this morning. There is a strong smell of smoke / fire even from the outside with the doors shut.

With Insurance Loss Adjusters and fire inspections and refurbing and refitting to be done I would think it will be some time before Tandoori Nights can reopen.

My response was a joke, in case you didn't realise. Music related.. following on from TheCat's previous joke...

Vegetable oil being heated and left unattended .....


Three members of staff left before the arrival of the Brigade .....


The fire was discovered when the owner smelt burning and discovered a fire in the kitchen .....


Oh dear. Doesn't sound good, not least from an insurance point of view.

Twice-yearly deep cleans of extraction units are usually mandatory requirements for insurance purposes. Any restaurant that does not do that is asking for trouble.


I would remind everyone of the River Cafe fire some years back; their extraction was kept clean but a pan flame went too high and was caught by the extraction vents. Air moves through them at high speed andcthis meant the fire was pulled into the whole system in about two seconds. The point is that if flame gets into the extraction it doesn?t really matter how clean it is or not, that?s pretty much game over for the kitchen.


Of course, if it isn?t cleaned regularly then it presents a far greater danger in general, especially to other parts of the building, hence the insurance requirements for thorough, professional cleaning every six months.


I have no idea of Tandoori Nights extraction was cleaned properly, as I can?t be sure what the fire brigade mean by ?large deposits of grease? - though it doesn?t sound good - but I fervently hope it was otherwise they?re in even more trouble.


Leaving oil unattended...idiots.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
