The tall blonde is Veronique, one of the co-owners and the dog is her Newfoundland.:))

I dont know - the Herne is pretty good value for a night out at the weekend or even for a lazy saturday / sunday afternoon. A nice bunch running it, good food and good beer. Its my pub of chouce bya country mile (noted there are way to many kids in the summer etc etc).

A coffee shop on my doorstep offering pastries made by Newfoundland owning French women seems too good to be true.


Any news on Anatolia? It says closed for refurb on the window but not much action within.. A Turkish Meze restaurant like Tas would be fab (unlikely I know).

I hope this new place will serve decent, inexpensive (healthy) food in addition to coffee. It will be right by Peckham Rye park, and the new cafe there is almost a victim of its own success. I waited 45 minutes last week for a sandwich to be made. In the end I told them I had to go and would have a sandwich at home instead. Good to hear there will be another coffee shop near by too.

I popped in this morning. They won't be ready for Monday, but say it will be one day next week that they'll open. They'll be putting the finishing touches together and practising their coffe making skills over the next few days. :))


bon3yard - Although they won't need a chef there. Veronique does own a catering company, so if you want to go and have a chat with her she'll see what she can do for you. (No promises, but good luck :)-D )

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
