How are the steroids going?

What did you expect with a very small restaurant which has recently been featured on a popular TV series?

They are probably booked several weeks ahead and leave the phone of the hook so they don't have to listen to is ringing!

If they don't seem to want your custom, phone someone else!

I live a couple of hundred yards away, and I've been there (and the previous place that the owner had) lots of times.

No, it's not st. Or at least it wasn't before it was on the telly. However, service in there was always problematical - well not the service as such but the wait for food. The lady owner (who is a bit frightening) likes to cook everything herself, so when the place gets busy, the waits can be incredibly long.

I can only imagine that things have got worse since she became famous. Up until recently you could just walk in and you would be guaranteed a choice of tables. I've stopped ordering takeaways from there too because the waits got silly, and I was ending up getting blootered in the local pub whilst waiting for the order to be completed.

We went here a couple of weeks ago, sweet talked my way into a late sitting. Fabulous food and service. The owner is great fun, the staff sweet and very attentive.

Fresh, delicious food.

Reccomended............

Never mind them, has anyone tried the argentinian steak house place ?

That looked a good place to have a meal.

Umm their phone's probably ringing off the hook since it was on TV, calm down dear. When the Little Chef in Popham got it's 5 minutes of fame you had to queue to get in the door for weeks, it's in a god foresaken place on the M3. So people drove down the M3 for miles, to the middle of fking nowhere to go to a Little Chef!

Indeed.

You like eating dinner after midnight right?

Well, like I said before they were on the telly, you could go in there most nights and there would be maybe three tables occupied. I suspect it was the takeaway side that kept them afloat.

I'm not sure whether the mad Thai lady does this to make a profit anyway. The flash black Merc parked outside is hers, and she's always had one, even when the restaurant first opened up half a mile down the road (maybe 10 or 12 years ago?) in what was then a greasy spoon called 'Bonzo's' by day and the Thai by night. That had even fewer tables than the current place!

How dare a small place do well and have the hide not to move other people out of the way so you can have meal.

I'm tempted to say that we're having a chat about a local restaurant for local people - there's nothing for you here....................., but you probably won't understand.

One of the lads at work went there the other night & loved it, but I dont think its that easy to get into now either.
