I live above the dentists and havent noticed any new cafe(then again I did lose my eyesight in a freak kite flying accident)...could it be true? Is this an attempt by the residents of Lordship Lane to provide a safety run off for all the yummy mummies occupying everywhere with a seat on the lane. Good thinking. I shall visit forthwith.
I'm all for it. Hopefully it'll help that parade 'get better'. The revamped launderette, the beauty parlour, Si Mangia, Anatolya and the established businesses are all good, but there's still an air of shabbiness about the place. Does anyone know who owns the yellow and blue place next to the barber's? It's a dump. And what is the blue place on the corner? PM me if anyone knows. Nero
The yellow and blue place used to be the Morrocan type bistro (something Tree I think), then it moved to where Si Mangia is now before being took over by Si Mangia staff. The owner of the old Moroccan place is still around as I see him occasionally.

It was called Two Trees - I was racking my brain trying to remember it!

It may be a bit premature to visit as yet. They only picked the keys up today. :))

I loved Two Trees when it was in the 'yellow and blue' shop, it just went down-hill when it moved to where the Italian is now, shame as it was really popular before it moved.


I see Anatolya is closed AGAIN for refurbishments, I'm sure there is a link between new eating places opening and Anatolya closing to re-invent itself, the funny thing is I have rarely seen anyone in there so am wondering how the place makes any money! :-S


Will be great to have a new coffee shop will mean I don't have to sit outside in the cold to avoid all the awful noisy children in the park cafe!!! >:D<

I think its a tough stretch to make a restaurant work there. One of those dead spots.Could be a coffee shop could open it up a bit. Its very functional, chemist,post office, barber, newsagent, bookies, launderette. Not really an evening spot or afternoon hang out type of area is it? Will take imagination to make it work.
I agree that FHR is predominantly functional in terms of businesses there, but am confident that a revamped Anatolya and a new coffee shop will encourage more interest from customers and perhaps other businesses. Nevertheless, I still would like the parade to be pleasanter in terms of the way it looks. We'll see. Nero
I walked past the other day and a tall blonde lady was opening up for the builders with the biggest dog I have ever seen. Looked a bit like an Irish Wolfhound, but black rather than grey. She said "slowly" when I asked how the builders were getting on. Great news and just what the parade needs.
Thumbs up for this. I hope it works out well. Any new addition to this part of the area has to be good. After the lovely people at Si Mangia moved there last year all this parade needs is a few more better shops and or restaurants. Hopefully Anatolya will be up and running again soon as well or maybe in another guise. This parade of shops just needs a little sprucing up and it could be very pleasant.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
