"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 :)

    • 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.
