rob, I hear you, I do


But if you are going to (politely) tell people off for not paying attention to an area, you should be aware as a frequent reader of the forum that we have had a good old discussion on this already, no?


Only teasing really


The consensus when we spoke about it was that those who had tried the other branches gave it a 7ish out of 10 - ie it's not going to bring an awful lot to the Lane. Fairly pricey too don't you think?

i'm looking forward to trying it out. The food is good and its delivered to your house -sounds perfect to me. Right now my favourite place is Tandoori Nights. Wish they delivered. If they did, it would be perfect. Definitely rate that as the best Indian restaurant on Lordship Lane. Now the Bicycle Club has arrived and can deliver to my house for when i want to eat at home. If i want to eat out I'll go to Tandoori Nights - win win situation!

Agree on Tandoori Nights but was upset to hear a friend went there recently with his lady and both their meals were as bad as they have had. One expected a hot handy and one expected a mild Korma. The handi was bland and the Korma was "boiled water".


Having been a bazillion times I found it hard to believe but this guy is very trustworthy. Maybe a bad day in the kitchen

Have just placed an order online rather good value set meal which doesn't seem to be on the leaflet. Really worth noting that if you place your order online you get 1000 loyalty points - which are worth a tenner off your next order. Of course its a promotion to get you to try it, but why not ....

we just had take away from BBC. They do seem to be having a few teething troubles, Mr KG had to wait a while (we always collect our takeaways). But it was delicious and much nicer than our usual Pistachio Club. No oil, very fresh looking sauce, def a cut above what we usually get. And if you spend over 20 quid you get a free bottle of wine. nice touch.

We also tried this - the food was amazing (I have not tried Tandoori Nights so cannot compare) not oily in any way and seemingly freshly made with fresh ingredients. Trouble was the baby started screaming and most of the curry got left uneaten so ?30 thrown away. Will be trying again though - maybe when the little sod has grown up a lot!

Got a takeaway last night from the BBC. Tasted pretty good, but it's priced at the high end. The main complaint was that the kitchen was absolute chaos. I turned up and ordered about 8, and was told 20 minutes. food was ready 40+ minutes later, by which time there were about 15 hungry people at the counter all waiting for food which should have been ready a while ago. Staff had about 30 orders on the go, half bagged up, but couldn't seem to complete any. Teething problems with a new kitchen no doubt - probably be a bit smoother in a few weeks.

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
