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

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  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 🙃🙃
    • 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....
