I was overrun.. I tried to change the system... but the system changed me ;-)


Anyway, happyman, you'll be pleased to know that a whole bunch of us will be coming to the new restaurant next week as part of the curry club - usually between 8 and 15 people turn up but anyone is welcome to come along and join in


(Kel, point taken, but it's still relatively "new" to some people. Like, say... the manager)

happyman, research is good but not declaring an interest is considered very bad form.


For example, had someone posted a negative review you may have challenged it. However, it makes a significant difference to how your response is interpreted if readers know you're the manager.


Your opinion would hold slightly more weight if readers considered it independent. Traders know this, and try to post under anonymity to get extra influence for free.


This would be quite simply trying to gain an advantage through deception. Because readers don't like to be conned, it would have a very negative effect on your business.


However, it doesn't apply in this case, because you've swiftly moved to dispel any confusion.


Well done!

Happyman - do you have the same chef???


The Coriander did the best curry on Lordship Lane, so hopefully that won't change. We were regulars.


Sunday buffet was nice and hot (some other Lordship Lane curry houses have only *lukewarm* buffets because they insist to having it next to the front door so it goes cold quickly). Sunday buffet also had fab starters, prepared fresh - yum.


Service was a bit slow sometimes even when Coriander wasn't busy, so hopefully the new place will be better. Look forward to trying it out.

Okay, I'll let you into the secret. I have a moral objection to the sale of foodstuffs from public premises.

I repeat: fair enough.

    • They always used to have at least one (relatively) low priced ale on. Don't know about lager. And to be fair, if you are running this kind of  business, and the local demographic has changed around you, you have to allow for that or your business is going to fail.
    • Oh dear.  I've been there numerous times, it's hit and miss.  Generally OK so I wouldn't judge it on one occasion. Perhaps they aren't great at scaling up for sunny days.  The Woodhouse used to be like that when it was a great pub in the old days.  Sun would come out and families turn up, with no extra staff.  It's horrid now  You can order the Backyard pizza at the Castle and I expect they still have Van Dough at the Blythe; under Co you could also bring your chip supper into the garden.
    • Sounds as expected and obviously firmly catering towards the middle classes who can afford to drop £80 on a meal for 2 with a round of drinks without breaking a sweat. I dont suppose they have an affordable lager for those who dont fit into the above group?  Do they have a pram/buggy park like they do at a creche? As that would come in handy im sure.  Its a shame because going back before covid it was still an affordable pub, mostly used by drinkers. 
    • I wonder which part/s of the bridge are affected? Pathway or side barriers (don't know the proper terms, sorry). Or both? I think there was a thread on here before (but I can't remember the subject) which included a discussion about using a "man" made material which looks more or less identical to wood but is much longer lasting. I have seen it used on paths and bridges in places like  nature reserves. If I hadn't been told it wasn't wood, I would never have known. I wonder why something like that wasn't used in the first place? The bridge hasn't been there that long, has it? Surely whatever wood was used shouldn't be rotting already?  Happy memories with my grandkids when they were younger, on the bridge  feeding bird seed to the ducks (and other birds!)
