It strikes me as a little pricey. The Lansdowne pub in Primrose Hill (where most people are loaded) does starters from ?5-?8 and mains from ?10-?18, they also do a kid's pasta for ?5. The food is always great and it's busy. I think this is a good price bracket to aim at to get repeat business.

So repeatedly correcting someone is 'hunting', is it? Makes you wonder what a forum is for...

How about people waiting until the place fully opens, then trying the food (if you can afford it) before criticising it or praising it?


If the place is too expensive and the food isn't much good, then the whole venture is bound to fail. But please wait and see ...

I see there's nothing on the menu for us crazy vegetarians who might want to splash out on a special meal. Nothing unusual about that, River Cafe have been doing it for decades now and many other top-end restaurants do the same.

Ironic really, given that this place is going to have it's own vegetable garden?


Enjoy your meals!

Right.. Critics..


There are many negative posts in this thread about the Patch


Where in this thread Have I bad mouthed the Patch...

WTF are you on about... do not judge me on my comments on other subjects not related to this thread.


I think I may of commented about The Patch in another thread when they stated they would be open at

the end of August and I said it would be unlikely.


Once again 'THE FOX' as you put was proved right..

The interior seems bright, bland and clinical.


..and is as inviting as your typical Dental Surgery.

That is all I said.


All the rest was to do with unrelated subject of the price of a 3 course meal elsewhere.


So there were many negative comments not met with such abuse.


So those that wish to conduct a Fox Hunt, why not start a new thread.

Then perhaps you can all meet up for a good chat where everyone will be in agreement about stupid Foxy.


You go on about people criticizing a place before it has even fully opened, yet give out abuse to

someone you have never met.

When some people say the Patch is attracting a lot of negative comment before opening, you shouldn't take that to be all about you. Several people have posted negative comments and the "critics" are referring to that, rather than your spat with *bob*


the price of a 3 course meal is not "unrelated" but goes to the heart of your argument about the Patch being overpriced - all *bob* tried to do was point out how you were comparing apples and oranges and you wouldn't even allow him the fact that he had a point.


So I don't see a fox hunt or bullying anywhere. I do see namecalling and pig-headedness but that's par for the course

Do they not have veggie options, or do you want whole restaurants just catering to the veggies? Or, why put off 90% of potential clientele?

I agree with Chips. And to be honest, one veggie option out of five is a bit rubbish. Meat eaters can eat veggie but we can't eat meat! Given the fact the Patch is supposed to be about sustainability, more veggie options would be a good place to start. But they are probably unwiling to upset the deluded meat-eating majority. A wasted opportunity.

I apologise for using the word deluded. I guess some of us veggies get a bit defensive sometimes when we are openly slagged off and marginalised so often.


To Jeremy:


What if you went to a restaurant and four out of five dishes contained different types of squash. You might say "What if I don't want to eat squash?" To which I might reply "You anti-squash extremist, just because you have chosen to be one of the squash-hating minority, why should you insist on being offered a whole range of squash-free dishes?"

Never mind the cruelty (which I do mind), meat is a vastly more wasteful and inefficient way of feeding people. Red meat is also incredibly unhealthy and has been linked to a whole range of health problems. On average vegetarians live longer, healthier lives. These are the facts deluded meat-eaters don't want to face.

Sounds like the correct response to the situation there James ;)


BUt you're right, given the pretensions of the business, it would be more in keeping for them to offer a more 'sustainable' menu.


I guess they might argue it comes from local farms or somesuch missing the point that local artisan produce is an entirely unsustaiable approach to population/climate change pressures.


Mind you, they can't even decide what day they're opening....

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.
    • hallo, Do you have a suitcase for a student going to Ghana to teach sports? Taking a parachute, cones, mini hurdles, batons and dodge balls and a pump, then leaving it there for the school If I could have any old suitcase please it would be amazing! Thank you

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
