If they can concoct a decent white (or is it black?) russian, then we will have our answer from HMB.

Went in yesterday and look around, the girls running it were lovely, went through all their plans and menus, love the idea of different guest chefs, and the wines looked amazing, garden is all planted with herbs & liking the decor....as for the name, it's not emblazoned in 6ft high letters, they have the cat logo on the front...Doesn't offend me at all...and tbh theres more things in life i have to worry about, already booked a table
I hope they do really well. Everyone who works there seems young, bright and enthusiastic. Their menu looks lovely. The garden looks absolutely terrific. Good luck to them. Going for dinner there soon. That site, for some unknown reason, has always been a bit difficult so I hope this venture cracks it. It's a bit like Pedlar but posher, and frankly I don't give a monkeys about the name.

It's called "Sunday evening" DF - usually not a massive crowd puller. I don't think it representative of anything?

Yes it was Sunday evening at the EDT too funny enough.. they were quiet.

But they still stayed open until midnight for the customers that were there.


Jaflong was also open with no customers. But I was still able to get a take away (and could of sat down)

at 10.30 / 11.00pm . Its called business.

It's a pop up though isn't it? Context: They've just soft launched and are working hard to get things right, tweaking things and no doubt long days - all the usual challenges and fun that comes with a startup.


Very different to a mainstay local pub - an institution thats been established for well over a century.


Or are you comparing apples to bananas and casting mild Nasturtiums again?

I'm not going to be drawn into an argument on the subject..


.. BUT


If it was MY new business. It's name (A sensible one)would be sign written above the door so to speak.

The windows would not be greyed out so people could see in/out. and I would be OPEN.

Whats the joke though? Where's the wit? "Mrs Slocombe's Pussy" was funny because they were actually talking about a cat belownging to Mrs Slocombe and the result sounded rude (and funny). Meat Liquer sells meat and liquer and the resulting name sounds kind of rude (any funny). So unless Pussey Liquer is a restaurant where a cat serves you alcohol, there is no double entendre, no witty mis-read of the name...its well, just a bit grim innit (and not really funny).

Pop ups are a new type of business Foxy. They work differently to traditional businesses and have a different way of operating. Putting all notions/feelings/thoughts of "hipsters" to one side the business model is an interesting one.


It makes temporary use of unused shop space and brings new products and services to an area which wouldn't have been possible previously.

Fair play MrBen.


I had not looked at this place as a Pop up. ?


I though it was intending to be a business that grew to an established ED venue. A destination.


As a Pop up surely it is a case of making a quick killing and moving on.

You don't do that by being closed.


We have to wait and see.

I wouldn't get too hung up on definitions these days. The pop up label covers a wide spectrum....anything from a few days duration moonlighting at an established venue to "lets give this 6 months and if it works we can invest and make it long lease".


For me the problem is the space configuration on that site - narrow and lots of hard surfaces that bounce around the noise. Unless you're investing for the long term any makeover will be a quick and cheap ala Sorsi. Needs to be warmer and get some soft furnishings in there.

My understanding from when I looked in that they will have guest chefs possibly from other restaurants producing their signature dishes there ..sort of pop up restaurants, in a rotation, I like the idea of there being something totally different to try every few months.

They were only serving brunch on Sunday, I guess this doesn't go on into the evening, I'm guessing its going to gradually build up a more substantial menu & opening hours as they go on.

I read it as Pus-sy liquor as in something that oozes out of a boil : (.

either way I think its a rubbish name, just a bit gimmicky and stupid.

Sort of name you'd see on one of those grim bars in Clapham.

As a woman I don't find the name offensive, it doesn't however make me want to want to ring my friends and suggest a night out there.

It is very Clapham isn't it?


Yoiu'd have thought they'd have looked at what happened to Boho and Adventure Bar, seen that appealing to "that crowd" didn't work here, looked at House of Tippler (and how successful they've been) and gone from there.


You'd have thought that would have been their research anyway....but perhaps they're business genii.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
