Ah. Clearly both my OH and I are extraordinarily thick then, as neither of us realised from the sign outside the 8.30 Mondays to 10pm Saturday thing (and if this is because they can only trade six hours on Sunday, why aren't they open till midnight on Saturday??)

"(and if this is because they can only trade six hours on Sunday, why aren't they open till midnight on Saturday??)"


That's presumably a commercial decision by Sainsburys, although all other supermarkets seems to stick to that time too (possibly due to not wishing to break ranks with other supermarkets and/or estimated demand), so this important (??) question might be best directed to Sainsburys. While you at it, perhaps you could ask why they don't open earlier than 8.30am on Mondays.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
