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.

    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent.
