I was in the Thai Corner Cafe a few weeks ago and noticed that they charge 50p for a glass of tap water, understand that they have a right to charge but 50p is bit steep.


I think any restaurants that charge for tap water should donate it to water charities like they do at Banners in Crouch End.


Think it's gone downhill as well, any other decent local Thai restaurants other than Sema on LL?

Did you buy a glass while you were in there? Or did you you just notice it?

A few weeks ago? Took a little while to get riled up about it, perhaps? It happens.

Banners, eh? Crouch End is it?

I had an unfortunate experience in Crouch End, once.

And coincidentally the drink that was thrown in my face may have contained some tap water.

Uncanny.

I like Lombok in Herne Hill. Food is on the spicy side and it's a bit more expensive than TCC, but they have some unusual (I'm told authentic) dishes like fish and banana curry which sounds a bit odd but really worked.

Good point Loz, there were several 'Spas' around the area including one near the Grove (Harvester) which was Dulwich Spa I think, there was also Beulah Spa and Sydenham Wells. I'll be looking at my old maps tomorrow.

to be fair, being a BYO, they miss out on the stratospheric mark up most restaurants put on wine and the profitability that goes with it - so they put a big mark up on the tap water instead - the mark up might be huge, but ultimately 50 pence isn't going to break the bank

Take your own in future.

"This isn't just any tap water, it's ED tapwater". *with albatross playing in the background*

    • Just spotted this in the Indy100: 'Elon Musk haters given chance to ‘smash the utter f***’ out of a Tesla in ‘safe and legal’ London stunt' https://www.indy100.com/politics/elon-musk-tesla-stunt-london  
    • My kids have started getting into vinyl… I’m looking to buy a cheap-ish amp & two pairs of (bookshelf) speakers if anyone has any going. Thanks
    • Never knew any of this. Thought it was privately owned and just a not very successful restaurant and wedding venue. Ate there once, many years ago, and food was pretty average. Such a shame such a beautiful venue in a stunning location has not done better. I guess it is a bit out of the way?  
    • Won't be the only thing getting touched in more ways than one, how comes this has been kept so secretive, and right on the door step almost of the village. The mind boggles at what's been going on under our noses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well this has certainly livened up the chat on a mid Saturday afternoon.  I've even got the perfect track for this...............................   Certainly not a "Dear God" situation.
