Right-lovely cafe, cnr Fellbrigg and Shawbury, quiet leafy hood, calm daylit ambience, nice staff . . . and brilliant non-dead-animal food. The red lentil soup is quite stunning. Shortish menu - like every other really good cafe and restaurant I ever went to.

And for louche late-lunchers like me, they serve til 6 (5.30 on Sun).

The competition? : Well, I was a Blue Mountain monkey for some years but that was long ago. The place seems trapped in a moment of its own past; and a recent bite there was literally without taste. Prettys is a great place, good food, generous portions, lovely staff. But they need to: step the cooking up to the next level (where is the rumoured new 2014 menu?), get more serious about offering vegetarian variety; and not offering a scrumptious range of soft puds (fools, crumbles, messes etc) to show off their fruit is a serious missed opportunity.

Have I ruined Cafe Le Brique Bleu by talking about it? Will I have to start queuing behind SE22 hipsters, and yummy-mums with their Hummer-buggies? Hope not. I did need to shout out for a great place and fantastic food.

  Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night. In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other. Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.

- When does a family run business become a chain?
  
  By Sephiroth · Posted 2 hours ago
  
  In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors” that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet so it is POSSIBLE for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
