High Chairs in local restaurants, cafes and bars (legal requirement) (Louged)


Recommended Posts

I pretty much loathe Wetherspoons but of all the things wrong with them, the drink side of things is pretty good


I wouldn't touch the draught lagers but they usually have a good selection of bottled interesting ones and plenty of real ale


After that it's ALL downhill... atmosphere, food, decor,


The worst one I've ever been to is the one in Balham... oh dear God, the horror

My first ever visit to a WS was in Croydon, I was fascinated by the studied naff-ness. I still find them wonderful in the same sense as one might visit a really crap seaside B&B just to experience the stereotyped awfulness and be assured that such places do exist.
There are a couple of good Wetherspoons out of London - but our local offerings are less than inspirational - however their Lithuanian bottled lager is excellent and for that reason alone I will continue to use them.

what constitutes upsetting?

most people without children don't realise that tantrums are a developmental stage and are difficult to avoid - not a reflection on poor parenting skills. (Obviously if a child is still having them at say, 8 it is a bit different). I certainly would not appreciate any comments if my 3 year old was having a tantrum in a supermarket.

It may be a developmental stage, or could be that the kids are bored of having to sit in a pub or restaurant, while their parents soak up the ambience.


I can remember having to sit in the EDT during the school holidays, while my Nan enjoyed a half a guinness.


To me, it seems that too many people are trying to foist adult experiences on to children, who will of course make their feelings known.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
