Had the Shepherd's pie (is it meant to have lamb in?) and wasn't all that impressed.


Girlfriend had the quiche which was bland. My friend had the bacon sandwich for which the bread was too thick and tough.


GF had the latte which wasn't, it's all to do with no froth I'm told, served in their dinky dual layer glasses which are remarkably cost efficient (ok I mean profit enhancing) as well as thermally so. To add insult to injury she was provided with a long handled teaspoon (aka a sundae spoon) just to emphasise how much less for more you get here than at the coffee chains down the road. He had a tea which was fine and I had a hot chocolate that was a tad thin on richness.


What can I say I am less than enthused by this pretentious place. A huge missed opportunity to win back the ground lost to Costa Nerostar and give us greast cuppas at a good price.


By the way I forgot to ask if teas can be topped up with hor water for free. Any one tried asking?

Just to balance things out I feel I should comment that the one time we went there we really enjoyed the whole experience.


Got a nice seat out the back where had space to park the pram without getting in the way. I had the kedgeree (fantastic) and my wife had the bacon sarnie. I of course tried some of hers also as she was raving about the bacon (comes from William Rose I believe) and was suitably impressed. Didn't notice tough bread as described. Also they sell those old style lemonades which I'm a big fan of.


Of course, it is pricey, hence why we don't go often, but good for a treat.

we had a waitress who didnt know the difference between bakewell tart and eccles cake. so we got the wrong one. for a raisin hater this was a problem, of course we got the right one in the end, but if you are going to be a posh cake shop then you should know your posh cakes!

Not that I know your drinking habits, Madworld74, but that's some claim. I'm not one to blow my own trumpet but I make a pretty damn decent cocktail myself, at half the price. You name it, i'll wipe the floor with the competition.>:D<


What did you have? I'm really interested in this place now. If they really are that good then I may have to check it out.

      Milk delivery

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.

      Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days.

      I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
