I went once a few years ago. There was nothing veggie on the menu and when I asked the waitress gave a look of incomprehension and suggested a couple of things which both had fish sauce in them. So I'd make sure what you've been eating is actually vegetarian if I were you! Having said this they could have changed their menu and suddenly educated themselves about what vegetarian food is since I went, but I would be very surprised if this were the case.

TQ you can't take a comment from experience from a few years ago seriously (sorry James!)

Sounds like you're hot on the active side by contacting establishments to find out what's what in advance... good for you!

Mmmm - the saying 'with friends like you' comes to mind. Anyway what is wrong with experimenting and trying different foods from time to time?

Call me a carnivorous bigot, but I've always wondered whether vegans are attention-seeking food faddists. Vegetarians I can understand. I had a vegan friend many years ago who came to stay, and it meant lots of preparation, stocking up on tofu and soya milk, which, by the way, is disgusting. She isn't vegan these days, and admits she was rather demanding.


For me, like the French, Spanish and of course Italians, food is a celebration of life. To forbid oneself one of life's greatest pleasures seems a shame, and an insult to those in the world who cannot pick and choose and go to bed hungry every night.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
