The French House


Recommended Posts

We popped in today. Thought it was very reasonably priced - OH opted for a nice tarte flambee and I had a salad. I asked for some bread with the salad as I was worried it might be a little on the small side considering the ?8 price tag- in the end it wasn't needed as portions were very generous but was eaten nonetheless because it was so tasty. We also had some coffee (which I can confirm was also good, although not sure yet if it beats ToastED) and some delicious wine. We will be back and look forward to bringing our French friends as we know they would love the atmosphere and the food too. What a wonderful addition, and we wish the best of luck to Audrey and her team.


Finished up the afternoon with a trip to la cave de Bruno for a refillable bottle of wine then sat with a glass of it in the park. What a wonderful place we live in!

I like it. They've put warmth and some cosiness into this space. And it's rather quirky but in a good way. Nobody can complain about the menu prices. The tarte flambees and salads make up most of the menu but thats great for more relaxed dining spot.


Completing your authentic South London French experience with a trip to Cave de Bruno was an excellent call Karackers - I did just that last night. He has a couple of great imported champagnes that cost less than the branded crap all the Brits seem to buy. He's also a nice guy.


Anyway - good luck to The French House.

We went in for lunch recently.


Really like the vibe and the food, but I had tartine (a tartine? The posh cheese on toast, anyway) and though it was absolutely delicious, I thought the portion was quite small, and I was still hungry afterwards.


Maybe I'm just a pig. Or maybe I should have had lunch earlier. Or eaten breakfast.


Next time I will have one of the tarte flambes, which look wonderful.


The beer was good too :)

Jeremy - yes its basically a menu of cheese on toast and three nice salads. And a great French onion soup.


Tarte Flambees, I've since discovered are like ultra thin (5mm) French pizzas without the tomato. Then they also have big slices of toasted sour dough bread with French cured sausage, cheese leaves and shit.


The beer? Well that was the only thing I found odd. It's nice but all from Camden.

Finally popped in tonight for the first time with my brother. What a fabulous addition to the Lane. Food, wine, music and service was absolutely superb. The staff are really lovely and such a great vibe in there. Definitely going to be a regular haunt for me now. Love it.

    • 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".
