Thank you. We plan on using the dining room for family lunches & keeping the bar area for adults to enjoy. See you soon!

Arf! There's just no pleasing some people is there?


You could try just about every other pub locally if you want a burger or go to GBK. They've also clearly said they are changing their menu regularly? Chances are a burger may...just...creep onto that at some point!


I'm just impressed these guys are engaging on social media, got it up and running quickly, know what they're doing - doing pretty much everything that The Patch didn't. Looking forward to trying it out in a week or two.

Went to test it out last night - wow very encouraging start - was really quite busy for a wet Tuesday evening, like the new decor but as The Lordship has posted they are still new and finishing things off!


We had a brilliant meal - Lamb with cassoulet, veggie pie with mash and a delicious sauce and WE SHARED a dessert - brilliant chef, may need more help in the kitchen soon though! Restaurant menu was good and they also do bar food too.


Interesting that a local actor celeb was dining too!!


Give it a try soon.

I'm impressed too.


It's particularly great they're interacting on here from the start and responding quickly to comments, as the posters/readers on here will presumably be a large part of their customer base.


Bodes very well for the future, I would say.


Really looking forward to my first visit :)


ETA: Pleased to hear about the bar food, P&G. Did you notice what it was? Or is it the restaurant menu but available to eat at the bar?

Great minds! I was only speaking with the chef last night re this & from Saturday a rare breed burger will be appearing on our menu! Sharing boards will feature on our bar menu. Both menus will be available in both bar & dining room!

I did think this on opening night. Can't stand bright bars, but this was just a touch too dark.


Small point though.

Same here. We went for a late lunch too - an expensive treat and to support a new venture - and were very very disappointed. We went with very high expectations and lots of good will.


What on earth went wrong? Both kitchen staff and waiting staff seemed to be drifting aimlessly about, with little sign of much food appearing and not much apparent care for the punters waiting for a meal which never appeared.


The actual food was OK, though I have never previously come across a cassoulet where the meat isn't cooked in with the rest of the ingredients but just appeared to be roast lamb sliced and laid across the beans and chorizo.


But really. How long can it take to produce a cold dessert from the fridge? It was clear that we weren't the only dissatisfied customers. One table cheered when their meals eventually appeared. One customer sat for ages with nobody clearing his plate away, let alone asking whether he wanted anything else.


There were long periods where there was no food appearing at all, just chefs ambling up and down the kitchen with empty containers.


Sorry Lordship but you really have to up your game. Teething problems maybe, but the staff appeared inexperienced or untrained or possibly both. We shan't be back until the teeth are well and truly through. Hope for your sake that is soon.


The place wasn't even anywhere near full.


We were there for nearly two hours. It felt like a lifetime.


It's one of the few occasions ever when I haven't left a tip :(

They're still not fully operational yet though are they so give them time. Bound to be teething problems at first. I hope it works out for them (and us) once they are fully up and running and that is when I shall return. Best of luck to The Lordship.

We are truly sorry for the debacle you encountered today. I will not offend you by making excuses but please believe me when I say we have learned from this lunchtimes mistakes! I hope you give us the opportunity to redeem ourselves.

      Chern Thai Cafe On Grove Vale - Revised Opening Hours

      By Christian Graf · Posted

      Chern seems to be closed for a while now. Has anyone further info about re-opening?

      I agree, I didn't think any tree work was allowed during nesting season, perhaps inform the council of this.

      Advice welcomed - potential dog kennel hill estate flat purchase

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      It is certainly true that some ground landlords do exploit leaseholders. But much of what has been listed above as issues (and they are) are and should be addressed by your solicitor in correspondence with the sellers and their solicitor - not by and with the agent, whose client is in fact the seller. I would also advise trying to contact other leaseholders in this property to find out their impressions, There may be a leasehold tenants' association (I used to be Hon Sec of one such in the 1970s) Worth finding out. Amended to add - well run private leaseholds may have a 'sinking fund' - so that leasehold tenants pay into that such that a sum builds to exist to meet large ticket items (roof repairs etc.) - although that does increase the annual costs it also offers a cushion against surprises. If such exists (but it probably won't where the council is the head landlord, then the head landlord should be paying-in (or accounting as if they had paid in) a similar sum for non leasehold tenants).  Where a council is directly charging leasehold tenants but not others then they have to quite strictly account for monies both forecast and actually spent. They cannot just place the costs of works on the leaseholders but be clear how the costs have been pro-rated across all the properties. But something like roof repairs can be charged to all tenants and not just those occupying the top floor!

      It is also, I believe, against all good practice, and may even be an offence to cut or prune trees during nesting season, save where there is evident danger to life and limb. Which danger to Profit isn't. Shame on the organisers and shame on the greedy council for allowing it.
