For Christ's sake, I don't read this section of the forum for a couple of days and the world has gone mad!


Why would susyp come on here and make up some total lie about a random establishment?!?!?!? I believe you Louisa that this is very unlike the place in question, but that doesn't mean that everyone that has ever eaten there has had a good experience.....


I would suggest susy try it again, and see how it goes. Then post on here....


(sorry if you all ready have, but I couldn't bring myself to read anymore!).


I've not eaten there, and have onlt heard good things from friends who have, so Mrs Keef and I plan to try it......


Thing is Louisa, you know the owners, which is fair enough... I am very good friends with the guys at the CPT, and love the pub, but if someone came on here and said they'd had a crap night and a dodgy pint there, I wouldn't call them a liar.

I went there. I had scallops. They were quite nice.


I know that's not very helpful but I thought I'd stand out more if I took a drearily middle-of-the-road opinion. I'm going there on Friday with my new girlfriend. I say that as a way of crowbarring in the fact that I have a new girlfriend.

Ok let's not go back over all this again folks. I suggest that rather Louisa go in and upset herself and probably the owners (who by all accounts, are decent people), I go back in there and if everything is as good as everyone says it is (and the food WAS good when I went), I will let bygones be bygones and post a message to that effect. OK?:))


Next time I'll post about a missing cat, or something....

Louisa, as I think has been noted before, is not a real person, but a forum construct designed to wind-up "incomers" (ho-hum, how hilarious) and it's something "she" (actually a 31 year old banker called Roland who's recently moved here from Clapham) does very well. The fact that people still take any notice amazes me. Only a construct could possibly get any enjoyment from banging on and on and on and on about how ED was so much better when it was populated by greasy-haired, varicose-pinned, damp-cardy-wearing, zip-up-bootie-sporting, penury-struck pensioners eating cold gravel 'round a one bar fire and fretting about keeping a decent supply of newspaper in the outside "lavvy".

Review of Le Moulin - as promised - and BIG confession......!


I went to Le Moulin at the end of last week, to see if i liked it more the second time around. As we pitched up merrily along Lordship Lane - horror of horrors , I realised the restaurant that I had thought was Le Moulin was actually....Le Chardon....!! So, by now of course I was completely guiltstruck, we wandered the length and breadth of Lordship Lane looking for aforementioned restaurant. Found it tucked away down the other end of Lordship Lane (the clues were there in this thread - next to the Plough!). Went in, to a candle lit table and warm welcome (now almost beside myself with guilt). We had the most delicious meal, with charming service. It's a fantastic gem of a restaurant, and I must apologise for getting my facts so spectacularly wrong.... the only saving grace is that now i have found a lovely french restaurant in the area, without any of the pretensions of the others.


thought i should update this thread because if you google "Le Moulin", this comes up, and I wouldn;t want to put off prospective customers


i;ll pm this to louisa as well!


.....i;ll get my coat....

Ouch SusyP - this must hurt!


To be honest I'm surprised one of us didn't pick up on that before - re-reading your description of what you thought was Moulin perfectly describes the experiences I have had in le Chardon at least 50% of the time I have been in there whereas I've never had a bad experience at Le Moulin


So you are treating the forum to a slap up meal at Le Moulin then to make up for it?? ;-)

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
