My advice to them is to buy one of these to put on top of the cakes & sandwiches:

I say this because I went in there one sunny day only to find a blue bottle buzzing around the cakes and sandwiches and he landed on a hummus sandwich and was walking all over it.


I also think they could improve their soft drink menu. Maybe start stocking that Whole Earth Organic Range, like the lemonade etc. I love them, but maybe that's just me. I would like to see them do well.

They have a new menu now including a Finnish breakfast, French breakfast and a German breakfast. They have started to do chilled soups; so far a pea and mint one and a gorgeous tomato with a tabasco kick. Lovely paninni rolls with sesame seeds on topping which aren't dry like some of them often are. Great Monmouth coffee. Think it is quite quiet now cos of holiday period so a good time to go in. Quite often sold out of things by mid afternoon. Can take everything away too.
I can recommend the german breakfast: croissant, baguette, ham, cheese, oj and coffee. I needn't have ordered anything else for me and my two smalls this morning. But I did, as I'm piggy. The finnish looked lovely too. (The breakfast. Although I'm sure if I were that way inclined I'd say the same about the staff.)
Recognising strange British tastes they also do a great Marmite & Toast option which with double coffee is > ?3.00. Good value, tho' I did see my GP from Forest Hill surgery call in as I was slathering butter and marmite onto the toast - may get cholestrol telling off next time I visit GP.

Good call. There's plenty of space out the front for that, just look at Si Mangia which is now packed out front on a sunny summer's evening. Be mad not to.

I visit this little gaff every day as I'm so thrilled it's on my doorstep. I hope they expand outside like Si Mangia.

(and more plants/flowers outside as well might be nice)

But I s'pose it's early days for the business yet, and dispite the fact that they are always busy, maybe they don't want to count their chickens yet.

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
