If the current management had the foresight (which they don't) I think it could quite easily make a good music venue and I don't mean some poxy little dance floor under a mirror ball and crappy lighting while cheap looking girls in scuffed white stilletos dance around their handbags to some 70s and 80s disco shite.

My God is it really still like that? I once popped in there some years ago and got that impression, along with over priced drinks and scary looking bouncers on the door...

Have you been spying on me at the weekends?

I think that the place turns around staff way too quickly. I get the impression that a certain white haired old chap with a a name begining with 'T' ending in 'ony' abuses staff and customers alike and doesn't allow the place to become the bar it could easily be.


I reckon with the space they've got there, they could easily follow in, say, a Walkabout's steps and have local live bands play. It would be the Perfect gig venue in the area. I'd buy the place!

Against the flow, I occasionally meet my partner there for a quick drink after work as it is close to the station and have never seen any trouble, the decor is good and the fire lovely (choice of beers ok-ish).


Perhaps it's because we're on our way by 7.30ish that we don't see the more seedy side of it.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
