Well said, Sue.


On topic, another vote here for the Lobster Pot.


On the ongoing Locale/SiMangia comparison, I've tried Locale a couple of times, and with judicious ordering you can either have a slap-up special occasion meal, or a weeknight pizza outing and tailor the bill accordingly. Great pizzas, good salads, good risotto. I agree that some of the extras are a bit frighteningly priced. I tried Si Mangia recently for the first time, and perhaps inevitably after all the great reviews, was disappointed. The food ranged from good/pleasant (pasta with seafood) to poor (horrid starter, mass-produced dessert), so although it wasn't expensive it wasn't great. However, the service was indeed very good and friendly, and when they got the bill wrong, they were polite and apologetic and quick to fix. Have to admit that my experience was coloured by sitting on the terrace and being continuously smoked upon by almost every other table, so perhaps I'm not being wholly fair.

what about Hisars..

> barbeque food without the stress of cooking it

> yourself


Hisars is not brilliant for veggies - Mr Wee Quinnie ordered a veggie moussaka and was given a meat one. Urggh! The veggie mains in there are not great, alto' the mezzes are OK.

Best in the general area... Rosendale, Franklins, Number 22, The Palmerston, Dragon Castle... If you're going a bit further afield - Upstairs, Chez Bruce, Roast, Baltic, Lobster Pot... I know we said no Indians but Babur & Tandoori Nights are both really good...

Agree with most of the names suggested here -the palmerston (defo prefer the back room too), franklins and rosendale for local ones, along with Babur and Caravaggio's.


Definitely chez bruce for somewhere outside of the area -one of my favourite restaurants. Another one I like is Trinity in Clapham. Really lovely and very well priced. would highly recommend.

Feel I should put my usual word in for Ganapati. I love the place, although, I wish they'd change the menu or add some dishes, as I've had everything on there that I'll eat more than once. It is great though, and their homemade garlic relish is amazing! (they sell jars of it).


I personally can't speak for Le Moulin, but everyone I know who has been there has said the food has been great. Don't judge a book by it's retro cover!

Another word in for Ganapati - but Keef, I'm sure they do change their menu - I went once and they didn't have my favourite - I mentioned I was disappointed - when our order came, they'd made me up a little dish of it specially, and didn't charge.


Now that's service :)

Didn't this used to be a pub? Must have come a long way since the days it catered for us students, from the College accross the road. :)-D

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
