The original post was made by someone else, not the person whose post I was replying to! And the original post only mentioned Whateley Road (which has been clear of leaves whenever I have walked down it) and another unspecified road. My question was directed at CPR Dave, who (as was clear in the post I quoted) said "The streets round here are a disgrace". -
We had a delivery from Matoom last week. Sadly, as I had high expectations, especially as it wasn't cheap, I was underwhelmed. To start off with positives, the corn cake starter was ok, and my partner said his green curry and coconut rice was tasty. I (unadventurous I know but I wanted to do a direct comparison with Chern Thai) had Pad Thai (with tofu and veg). There was a lot of it, which was good. So much that I had half of it cold for breakfast the next morning. However, it was almost completely noodles, with hardly any veg or tofu. In fact there was so little tofu I don't actually remember eating any. I do remember thinking that the stirred in egg must be some kind of tofu. I'm wondering now whether they were busy and forgot the tofu altogether! As it didn't come with peanuts (which I knew in advance as they weren't mentioned on the menu) I ordered a peanut sauce (?) separately, though I can no longer see this on the online menu. This didn't really help much taste wise For comparison, we both had Pad Thai for lunch yesterday (Saturday) at Chern Thai, with gyoza to start. The Pad Thai was fantastic, good sized portions with lots of tofu and several different kinds of really fresh lightly cooked vegetables. The gyoza were also excellent, just the right amount of crispiness and with a good amount of dipping sauce. The meal was also very well priced. I realise it's not very fair to directly compare the price of delivered dishes to dishes from an eat-in lunch menu, but in terms of overall value it was much better. And the service was lovely. In case our Matoom delivery was a one off glitch, we will book a table and eat in there, but so far I am disappointed. ETA: Just realised this thread is about BYO. Chern Thai used to be solely BYO, but it now has a full drinks menu with Thai beer on draught and wine. You can still BYO, but there is a charge. We had jasmine tea, which was very nice.

Hi Angelina - whilst I’m not close enough to this decision (as a candidate not a councillor), I would hope there will be public consultation if this situation arises again next year. As a local resident, I will push for this, if I do become a councillor. Hello - I will ask for this to be updated as soon as possible, as I appreciate people will be looking for this info!
