Go to Hoopers, CPT, EDT or the Vale or watch it at home.

How much do they charge for a roast? I'm hoping to find somewhere a bit more reasonable than Franklins for next time my parents visit - despite me paying (or probably because I was paying) my dad looked shocked by the prices in Franklins - and to be fair I've eaten better for less money too.

I think it was ?11.95, but that was for about half a plate of roast lamb, loads of roast potatoes, loads of delicious red cabbage (I don't usually like red cabbage but this changed my mind!), gravy - we thought that was it, then the waitress brough a huge dish of carrots and peas, both properly cooked ie not overcooked.


Neither of us could finish it, and we're both hearty eaters :))

I'm standing by my earlier statement: its a girls pub, or a pub for blokes visiting with girls. When I am out with my wife I spend a lot less than when I am out with my mates, so I think unless Magnolia can attract the guys on thurs thru Saturday, they won't make as much money as they otherwise would.

I have been there on a Saturday night for a few drinks with my wife and I'd say it was a relaxing, but not exciting environment, very quiet lots of girls quietly drinking, and from a business perspective, not spending much money as far as I can see.

I think the old Magdela would make in one 6 nations afternoon what the new mag makes in a week. Unfortunatley.

Nevertheless I'm glad lots of people like it as its obviously not as bad/quiet as it seems to me.

    • What would be the point of that?  It may work in a  USA style mall where there’s maybe a single point of entry and armed security people.  But here financially, it wouldn’t work. 
    • I think there's a similar square-type thing around Queens Road Peckham, which has stayed in pretty good nick. It was certainly a vast improvement.  Having said that, it would be terribly sad if small businesses suffer in the process. I love the fruit 'n' veg stalls & shops on Rye Lane, and the atmosphere in general atmosphere and very much hope that a new station square and the stalls aren't mutually exclusive. 
    • Shoplifting is such epidemic now that it justifies the introduction of facial recognition facilities at the entrance to retail premises. With immediate access to  a database of all known shoplifters, such a facility could sound an immediate alert to management - provided of course that removal of face masks was a condition of entry. 
    • Hello,  Myself and my partner are looking to welcome an F1 Cavapoo into our home in the next few months. We are struggling to find breeders that we trust that is in driving distance. We wondered if anyone has any recommendations for reputable licensed cavapoo breeders or can put us in touch with anyone? We are happy to drive up to 4 hours from London for the right one.  Many thanks
