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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
