new coffee bar (was Fresh New Gossip for this Forum)

[Mark]

it's Le Moulin, you can read about it on this thread here

I like it.

[Jonboy]

Cheers guys. The threads confirmed my suspicions - I think I'm too arriviste and incomer-ish to enjoy it unless they tidy it up a bit. Maybe one day when I'm braver.

Mr Walton

Don't be put off by the old-skool exterior - It is a very nice place with very nice food and a good way to have conversation with whoever you are with if other restaurants are a bit loud and party-ish

[Nero]

Howsabout a EDF outing to Le Moulin? Mind you, it might be a bit loud and numberful, thereby negating all the good things about it such as its being quiet etc. Nero

[SeanMacGabhann]

lol - good point Nero.

If we are doing a meal-out Ganapati is looking popular the moment. Mind you after the Goose Green fair Mike picked a winner in Mirash

[georgia]

A EDF curry night-out would be good. Have never been to Ganapati so would be keen to try it.

[Louisa]

How about an EDF visit a proper pub night out? that would be different.. :)-D

[mockney piers]

Well the following forum drinks is in Hoopers, which follows the normal boozer mould.

Perhaps the Castle on the Walworth road would be more to everyone's taste?

[SeanMacGabhann]

And I have suggested the Castle On Goodrich/CPT Rd

Louisa I do venture to the Castle from time to time - when you there next? I'll buy you a drink and we can out the world to rights?

MP - where is the Walworth Rd Castle? I know a few along there - my brother babysat Sully Shuffles for a fortnight (for his sins)

[Ladygooner]

Curry night sounds good. Can I also recommend Omrith near the revamped FHT?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ooh yes - another good one LadyGooner - often have deliveries from Omrith but only when I wandered to FHT did I notice where it physically was

All this said: This thread is turning into something far different from it's original point - Maybe whe should start a "which restaurant for forum meet-uo" thread (something COMPLETELY different from "which is best restaurant" before anyone says)

[mockney piers]

I too quite like the Castle on CP Rd. The walworth road one is by what was once intended to be a community shops area under a looming 30 odd storey rotting strangely pink estate thing. Now it's a place where you see the occasional body.

Nothing on t'internet at all. Clearly no beer in the evening readers have evven dared set foot in there.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Aaaaah - THAT Castle.. I know the one. I think I have been in there as at some point years ago I was thinking about E&C as an area so checked out the bars around the roundabout. All the info I needed really

But I think it's called The Elephant & Castle pub

[mockney piers]

excellent, I stand correct, perhaps the "elephant &" had fallen off whenever I pass it.

[Keef]

Have never seen the appeal of Mirash, think there are several better on LL...

[Jeremy]

There is a pub called "The Castle" on Walworth Rd, amongst some lovely looking council flats. It's nearer Camberwell than E&C though.

"The Elephant & Castle" (on the E&C roundabout) is a totally different place!

[Jah Lush]

The Castle may not be the most salubrious of boozers in ED but they do the finest Guinness in the area. Now, not to go off thread, about that new coffee bar?

[mockney piers]

A ha, I don't stand corrected. Knew I wasn't going insane.

Right......coffee

[SeanMacGabhann]

Im the big loser... Thanks Jeremy

[Jeremy]

But a gracious loser. Which makes you a winner. Or something.

[karter]

The shop fitters are finally working at Walsh glazing. Mark, Its a prettier sight now, go take a look.

here comes The White Stuff

(tu)

New coffee bar coming soon too.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I noticed that yesterday as I passed on the bus, Karter

Big boardings covering all of the window space

[Brendan]

Keep the Castle and stuff any new trendy coffee shops!! There's enough of them already.

[James]

Are you serious? If you like the Castle why not move somewhere like Bermondsey where you will find lots of pubs like that?

[Keef]

Bless you James, you are a snob sometimes! ;-)

I'm not a big Castle fan, but it's not exactly on the main road, and it's not really hurting anyone..... Except the people in the fights there, but it serves them right! :)-D
