Which Lordship Lane coffee shop/ cafe is best for...

An interview in a public space like a cafe? I don't think that is fair for the would-be employee or the others there. Why not try to interview in an outdoor space - it could make for a good way of getting to know the person in a different way to the norm. Good luck - especially to the candidate....
Whether you can or can't is not the point. It's not a neutral place and why should other guests, who want a social chat or to read a book or just sit quietly, have to put up with someone who is straining to be perceived in the best possible light - interviews are stressful and unnatural so having the added threat of someone overhearing your earnest and over-embellished replies isn't fair on anyone. Do it in a park or somesuch - you could use it to get a better measure of someone.

Thanks to all those who replied!


Plough and Kanella good suggestions - but reading the latest Covid guidance, apparently you are allowed to meet with a non-bubble person in the outdoor seating area of a pub or restaurant ( but not inside).


So in the light of that could anyone add to the list of suggested places?



PS @Nigello just to re-assure you: I appreciate your concern for the interviewee but just to clarify this is NOT a job interview, it is an informal chat with someone who has agreed to contribute a few anecdotes for an article.

    • That explains why no-one was there when I went yesterday. Something else to complain about this evening then, and given that at least one adjacent ward is having their Labour Party branch AGM this evening (the one Renata Hamvas belongs to), may well be raised in passing conversation there😉 . 
    • Why do the street  tree people turn up on the day they are going to actually do  work on a tree, say they need to park their large  vehicle in three adjacent free car spaces, and then expect to be able to immediately find the owners of every nearby car??? And then if they do by luck manage to find one, expect them to move their car somewhere else even though every other space  in the road is taken? And even if that would  leave only one car space, which they can't actually use anyway because they can't find the owners of the other two cars parked next to it? Is it beyond the wit of the tree department to put a communication through the door of nearby houses a week (say)  in advance asking them to save three  spaces on the day?  And even providing cones to do so? I hate to think how much time must be wasted on this. And now, the tree people have come back on another day and seem to be managing to do the work anyway even though there are still no parking spaces near the tree 🙄
