Also just enjoyed a huge veggie breakfast at Cafe 325 this morning, really hit the spot and only a fiver. Lots of good value sounding meals on the menu from jacket potatoes and omelettes to bigger hot meals. Can see myself popping in for take out when feeling lazy. I hope they stick around. Anyone know their opening hours? Forgot to check.

It's called Can Tho.

I like the White Horse. It's a bit smarter than before, but not tarted up. Really nice pub, nice features, lots of wood panelling, open fires, etc. Pool table and darts still there. Really friendly staff. Reasonable beer selection - maybe 5 ales, a few bottled craft beers. Basic food but decent.. small menu, around 6 mains which is fine with me.


I think some people are put off because it still looks a bit shit from the front - same old crappy wooden fence and benches. I imagine they'll want to sort this out before the summer.

Looks like the Dead Dolls on Clayton Road has gone and been rebranded as The Clayton Arms http://www.claytonarms.co.uk. Can only be an improvement in my (personal!!) opinion.


As this is now just round the corner from The Copper Tap at the Red Cow and a gentle stroll from Beer Rebelion, this looks like a nice little cluster of beer haunts.


Oh and Melange, the lovely chocolate shop, is now open in its new premises on Maxted Road. Still has a little space for coffee too.

But the old Clayton Arms is the only pub I walked in to

find no clients, no staff and just me in the pub.

Bambuni has closed? It looked like they were doing pretty well.

    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
