Well said Ron70, don't know why people can't give a business round here a chance. We are so lucky with what we have. Let business owners concentrate on their business instead of having to see themselves slated before they even begin.

One has to remember this is the 4th ?? incarceration of a restaurant on this site..


One has to learn why previous businesses may of failed. ?? and how to change things to put it right.


It is a large space. Some people prefer more intimate surroundings to a vast expanse with dozens of other diners.

Places which have cubicles are popular because they give diners privacy.

Who really wants to overhear over peoples conversations. There is always someone wanting the World

to hear their opinions.


This is why some destinations may never work.


When I was a child, I was brought up to not speak at the table.. when people are eating.

Yes true.. but things have a ceiling price.. although that does not seem to apply with food & drink in E.D.


If someone starts a business then they have to work out if what they sell or service they provide

can be sold or provided at a realistic price that still covers their outgoings and provides a profit.


This is the main reason why so many new businesses fail and why one can generally spot which prospective

new business is not viable.


It's not being negative. It's being realistic.

The area does not need yet another Italian restaurant. This is getting ridiculous, surely they've not done their homework and just opened up because of the cinema? It always angers me when people on this forum and estate agents/others claim ED is home to a eclectic range of restaurants - we are not! We just have a lot of the same things mostly Indian/Italian and/or Pizza. I for one have been craving a decent Greek place for years, we have a nice Turkish restaurant which is about to be replaced by yet another Italian. It just appears ludicrous.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
