Anyone got a snap of the menu? Might be blind but can't find a website, social, anything...
-
@HolbornFox They had issues getting licenses etc, so didn't promote it much in case it all fell through. It is tucked away though, so they might need to start shouting about it! @Arkady That's a good looking menu. Lots of cool stuff opening in Coal…

It was packed on opening weekend (lots of people watching the world cup). Bit quieter on a recent Saturday visit but still a nice buzz. Seems popular with families because there are trampolines, a soft play area etc. They'll need to expand the food…

Goods Office. @Ilovegreyhounds Gilly's is moving to the West End. https://www.hot-dinners.com/Gastroblog/Latest-news/gilly-s-fry-bar-is-moving-from-finsbury-park-to-the-west-end

Sad to see Walnut closed - that is a tough location, especially with all the W3 buses they had parked in front of their windows for a few weeks. Maybe the issue with both Walnut and Traiteur was that the food was good but the prices were too high f…

"RIP The Edward Lear, Long Live The Owl & Hitchhiker" - reopens Thursday 3rd May. https://twitter.com/OwlHitchhiker/status/989788353066348545

So weird - nothing on their social channels. I’m not a regular but it always seemed busy enough. Can’t be a refurb surely - it’s only been ‘relaunched’ for a few years. Hope it’s not gone for good.

The 'incident' last week was a bit of trouble with some travellers. I like the White Lion, though think standards have slipped since Andy and most of his team left. The place is currently between managers so hopefully things will pick up when the n…

The Brave has really found its feet, especially on the food front. We've had two superb Sunday roasts in recent weeks and both times the place was busy and they had some low-key live music on. Went back on a quieter night for some comfort food - por…

Looks good and has had a few people in whenever I've been past, but the menu is a bit jack of all trades, master of none. Always a worry if you can't spell 'gyoza' or 'Szechuan' correctly!

Soft launch (with cash bar) - Thu 7th and Fri 8th December. Official launch party - 14th December. https://www.facebook.com/events/2017265595152502/ Food coming soon from Cue Point (BBQ), who are currently in residence at their sister pub The Rose…

Attempted theft reported at Bar Esteban last night - guy on a scooter with a hammer. They fought him off with chairs. https://twitter.com/barestebanN8/status/928198182118592512

This seems to have quietly opened and is soft launching with 20% off food this weekend. Details: http://www.hot-dinners.com/Gastroblog/Latest-news/hodge-podge-modern-british-restaurant-opens-on-crouch-hill Menu:

Sorry for the late reply @_Bee - it was the number Ali gave (not the ASBO team @miss annie is talking about). Again, no problem with the festivals in general, but they should abide by the noise rules. On a positive note, it looked like the clean u…

Looks like I'm officially old too, because I've tried to log a noise complaint and no one is answering.. I have absolutely no problem with the occasional festival in the park, but if I remember rightly it was the same festival last year that took t…

@HolbornFox - Holloway Road (Highbury end). Do we know which site Gilly's is taking? Sounds fun, though I can already hear some of the SG forum crowd grinding their teeth in rage at the concept
-
So pleased about this. See you in September!

Spotted some squatters leaving the building on Hanley Road that's been advertising 'free art' for a while. Perhaps they were heading to the Hopsmiths. The upstairs tenants at the Hopsmiths must be thrilled...
-
They missed a trick here by not having Sad Clarinet Man doing the soundtrack.
-
Let's hope they leave it in the condition they find it. Any news on whether it might reopen or if anyone is still interested?
-
After seeing all the positive reviews here we tried Granary Thai and had a fantastic meal. The staff are so friendly and the food is delicious - properly spicy. Think they said they'd signed up with Uber Eats so delivery is coming soon. (Re: In…

They only open Weds-Sat evenings but I have it on good authority that it's closing soon.

@Donna - Check out Borrow My Doggy.

@HolbornFox - Are you still denying there was ever a nasty fight / bad vibe in the Quays?! miss annie - I imagine a lot of pub and restaurant staff in N4 would welcome somewhere to drink after hours. Not everywhere allows staff to drink on site o…
