One thing we don't need is more curry houses round here! Why did the chopsticks close, lack of business? I never went in myself, just didnt like the look of the place for some reason, possibly others thought the same?


If I had my way I decent italian pizzaria retaurant would open up there. It still surprises me that there isnt one on LL, a pizza place with 'mama mia' style italian chefs and waiters would coin it for sure.

I hear you - and I agree that a place like that would do really well on the lane. But compared to where we were 3 years ago, the selection of Italians has improved beyond all hope


If Chopsticks became a SOUTH Indian restaurant tho, that would be sufficiently different from all of the Anglo Banglo places currently in place and I wouldn't mind.


If it became a really good chinese I would be even happier. Or the long mooted Vietnamese for that matter


I popped in today to look at the pop up and didn't realise just how nice the garden out the back is

Without doubt a good Vietnamese restaurant would do well, but no doubt it's a huge financial outlay to start a new restaurant.


I remember Chopsticks when it was just a take-away and had been disappointed withn the food more than once so never went back when it became a proper Restaurant.


Let's be honest though, we don't really need another Curry House!

A "curry house"! What a sad, limiting and shallow term to describe what COULD be a treasure trove of culinary delights, which a good Indian restaurant generally is...! Wait for what was chopsticks to reopen and then vote on whether you think it's a "curry house" or something far superior. And no, I'm not one of the owners, neither am i family! Just someone who likes to keep an open mind about things and not prejudge them.

Bit harsh Shaila?? I don't think curry 'house' is a shallow term but a description most people can identify with.... has no bearing on the culinary delights any restaurant offers... there are good/bad all types of eateries.... I would not take offence about a very widely used description of an Indian Restaurant....

Spot on. If it is turned into something like the restaurants around Drummond Street it will be a fantastic addition and very different from anything available at present.

Yes indeed, or even better, something like Ganapati!


If it was even half as good as Ganapati it would still be better than the rest of the Indian restaurants on Lordship Lane ....

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
