Flying Pig - craft beer & BBQ


Recommended Posts

I am so excited about this. I feel a little bit like a tiny bit of Diners Drive-Ins and Dives or Man V Food is coming to town. I just hope the pricing is reasonable cos assuming its good, I see this as a couple'a'times a week kinda joint.


I love american style food when done well but I have to say, collard greens are the rankest thing I have ever eaten - I'd have thought anything cooked in bacon fat would be good but I was soooo wrong. I will not be joining the petition for that dish!


One quick question - are you planning on any gluten/wheat free options? They are hard to come by - a gluten free burger bun would do wonders as would maybe corn wraps and and a wheat free, maybe rye, bread for sandwiches and a couple of dessert options that aren't polenta cake. Oh and if you are planning on going down a brunch route at any point, wheat free pancakes would go down a storm.


I'm a carnivore, one friend is a veggie and another wheat free - finding somewhere we all want to go is stressful!

The big question is will you be catering for children?


locale did it very well - children's menu, high chairs and very welcoming staff.


That's how you are going to do well in the area. I know it's not what everyone wants but that's what the area needs to cater for these days

"locale did it very well -"


well, they did it. It wasn't enough to keep them going. For a place right next to Goose Green playpark I would have expected to see a lot more people in Locale


I'm not sure BBQ and craft beer screams "child friendly" either - and I'm ok with that. I take my little one to many of the cafes and bars in the area and like doing it, but if somehwre is doing something different then good on 'em


Will they be catering for children is a good reasonable question


But the BIG question is surely - if you are opening a BBQ restaurant, how good is that BBQ food?

I've been to BBQ places in the US with a great range of beers which are family friendly, so I don't see why not.


But both BBQ and craft beer are very 'now', and if they get it right I really don't think they'll have to pander to the ED high-chair-and-babycino market (cue jokes about little Rupert and Esmerelda).

Hi guys, sorry for the lack of info. Builders are due to hand over at the end of the month barring any last minute delays. We still have a lot of work to do back of house and training staff etc. We're looking to open mid to late August. Once I have a confirmed date I'll let you know.


In the mean time please follow us on Twitter @TheFlying_Pig and Instagram search The Flying Pig London.


We're recruiting now so if anyone is interested in working at the FP please email CVs to [email protected]


Regards


Mark

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.
