I was overrun.. I tried to change the system... but the system changed me ;-)


Anyway, happyman, you'll be pleased to know that a whole bunch of us will be coming to the new restaurant next week as part of the curry club - usually between 8 and 15 people turn up but anyone is welcome to come along and join in


(Kel, point taken, but it's still relatively "new" to some people. Like, say... the manager)

happyman, research is good but not declaring an interest is considered very bad form.


For example, had someone posted a negative review you may have challenged it. However, it makes a significant difference to how your response is interpreted if readers know you're the manager.


Your opinion would hold slightly more weight if readers considered it independent. Traders know this, and try to post under anonymity to get extra influence for free.


This would be quite simply trying to gain an advantage through deception. Because readers don't like to be conned, it would have a very negative effect on your business.


However, it doesn't apply in this case, because you've swiftly moved to dispel any confusion.


Well done!

Happyman - do you have the same chef???


The Coriander did the best curry on Lordship Lane, so hopefully that won't change. We were regulars.


Sunday buffet was nice and hot (some other Lordship Lane curry houses have only *lukewarm* buffets because they insist to having it next to the front door so it goes cold quickly). Sunday buffet also had fab starters, prepared fresh - yum.


Service was a bit slow sometimes even when Coriander wasn't busy, so hopefully the new place will be better. Look forward to trying it out.

Okay, I'll let you into the secret. I have a moral objection to the sale of foodstuffs from public premises.

I repeat: fair enough.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
