New caf? on FHR.

[Nigello]

There were people in a mid-revamp property near to the Turkish shop at the upper end of FHR early evening. It looks like it's going to be a bar or caff. Hope it does well.

What is FHR ?

Forest Hill Road

That property used to be a Chinese takeaway. Have seen all the building works going on, will be a welcomed addition!!

I went past today and asked a man there - probably an owner/manager - when it was to open. He told me Thursday, from 0900 to about tea time. It'll be closed on Mondays and will serve hot and cold food. There is outside space at the back and it may open from 0730 in the future but it's not yet certain. It will be called Norris(s) and (K)night - no idea which way it will be spelt. Good luck to them!

Sounds good - wish it had been there when I lived next to Forest Hill Road!

Will it have to not compete with French Bistro and sea master chip shop?

[woodland]

great news - I love the French caf? but this is even nearer and it will be nice to have a choice of cafes on the road. thanks for the info on the opening times and date!

It's open! Popped in for a lovely coffee and a scotch egg for lunch - eggs fresh from the hens in their garden! Really nice place. Good luck Norris and Knight!

A great addition to the 'hood. Delicious coffee and flapjack with friendly, enthusiastic owners/staff. Deserves to do well.

At last - after many years of neglect this row of shops is starting to look better. How about a board with your menu outside? Would that not attract more customers? And do mention the fresh eggs.

Very excited about this new addition but haven't managed to go yet, mainly as I generally have one or two small people with me. At the risk of attracting the attention of the "can't we have one child free pub blah blah" brigade (a point that I am not unsympathetic to but I'm now on the other side of that fence), is it buggy/ child friendly? Would be nice to have somewhere on my door step that I can take said small people to for lunch occasionally when the daily grind of wiping my own floor becomes too much? Basically, do they have highchairs/ baby changing/ room to park a buggy/ a menu that includes cheese on toast???!

[Nigello]

Zedd,

It looks roomy outside at the back but quite compact inside, but the space out front is fenced off and a good spot to leave buggies/dogs on leads etc.
