Had dinner there last night, really good. Big old portions. Not fine dining and doesn't pretend to be, I had a " Kharcho - the perfect Georgian comfort food - stewed beef cooked with walnuts and spices, served with grilled Ghomi (polenta)" (from website), mrs ruffers had Shkmeruli - crispy fried baby chicken in a clay pot with creamy garlic sauce served with pan-fried baby potatoes.


Very tasty and decent value, seem like nice people. They'll be doing takeaway and wine from tomorrow, I will try to support them and hope you do too.

I’m afraid it’s not uncommon now - hospitality is having it very tough with spiralling costs and staffing issues- imagine buying in food and getting staff in for customers who don’t show up - they are not be greedy but protecting their business.

I went in to book a table for Saturday and was told I'd have to pay a deposit. I asked why and was told some people book and don't show.

I would never do that and I have have been there before but will never go back.

Your loss. Totally reasonable imvho. If you don't show up to the cinema, hotel, plane or train you don't get your money back, and they make you pay 100% up front, not just a deposit.

KARTULI - GEORGIAN CUISINE AND WINE

Thanks for posting that.

We went there a while ago and I think I must have made a bad choice of food as I didn't enjoy my meal much, however I don't eat meat so my options were limited.

Clearly I should have had that bread, cheese and egg thing! Will deffo go back and try again!

Oh, and I think it's absolutely fine to ask for a deposit in advance for a booking. They could be turning other people away for lack of tables, and then if the people who have booked a table just don't turn up, they have lost a lot of money.

I've heard of people who used to book tables at several different restaurants, decide on the night where they wanted to go, then just turn up at one of them.

Many restaurants ask for a deposit these days.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
