"AN INTERLOPER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


:)


It was OK. Service was rather slow, we had booked a table for 8 so they knew how many of there were coming so waiting an hour for the starter was a little frustrating. When we got in there it was cold, a heater was put on but it took some time to become anywhere near comfortable.


The food was plentiful and quite good. Not the best on the Lane but quite good. Swadesh gave us free mineral water and we all got a free digestif. We had 2 courses and drinks which included 2 bottles of Rose (you know who you are ...) and bottled beer. All of this came to ?22 a head including a tip. So, good value.


Food was coming out of the kitchen but that was for delivery. Perhaps they do more delivery than dine in as they are that little bit further up the Lane?

Thanks


Oh dear that's bad about the wait and lack of heat.


I think they do do mostly delivery because as you say they are a bit off the beaten track.


Interested to know where you prefer the food? All a matter of personal taste and who is cooking, I know. Plus unfairly if you have one or two bad or so so experiences you tend not to go back. When I say you I am talking generally, obviously!


Then I will leave the thread and never darken its doors again (probably) :)

Only seconding what Mike said. Chicken Tikka turned up in a bowl and was luke warm. Normally you get them sizzling with onions straight from the tandoor oven. Anyway the people more than made up for it. This is one of the best things to come out of the forum. Massive thanks to Mike for organising every single month. A great night! See you at the next one :)

    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
