What's a semi-formal dining concept?


It all seemed very informal to me, including stools at the window, and mostly snacky things :)

Its less formal than a traditional formal dining concept but more formal than a shack serving take-out street food which is what Bao is traditionally. I'd say it's a pretty accurate description of Mr Bao.

Went to Cravings last night - lovely food - not crazily gourmet but super friendly service and good prices for what you're getting. The tacos were a highlight. We sat in as we were going to the quiz at the White Horse next door after and the ambience was a bit too brightly lit but its a takeaway affairs mostly so don't think you can really complain.

Yeah Cravings isn't "gourmet" as such, it's pretty "rustic" type stuff but it's pretty decent. The cheese stuffed arepas and the deep fried things (tostadas?) were my favourites.


They don't help themselves with the lighting/music/decor, but I would probably not eat in anyway.

I think (from another thread?) it is also selling wholesale hair salon products?

  • 3 weeks later...

When they announced the opening on Twitter they said it would be a long while before it opened. I'm not sure why. Perhaps they need to prepare planning documents or something.

    • 1. No he's not, he made a pigs ear of things, his leadership was poor and his behaviour was unbecoming of the highest office in the land.  2. No they don't,  he was a prime buffoon 3. Not a messiah, in no way. He caused great damage to both the Party and Country after three years of differing by May. The only thing he completed was B  r  e  x  i  t.  Are we paying the price. Don't ask me, I was in an induced coma at the time, fighting for my own life.    
    • My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger. 
    • Worth calling ahead as sometimes they can’t accept large donations
    • Thanks, I'd thought about that, but I'd still have to park, and it's very near a bus stop. Good idea to call the shop and see whether/when there may be less busy times to go, thanks.
