Brixton chitter-chatter and news - Oct 2011

Not to reopen the Great Vegetarian Taco Schism, but I tried out the new Mexican place in the market at the weekend. Mixed results. Very, very nice tasting food indeed, but it's a bit overpriced - not enough of it for the money (at least on the daily special) and they're still in utter shambles when it comes to service & organisation. Might well get much better as they get their routine going, and it's definitely worth a try - but as of last weekend it's 5/10 from me. Really really hope it improves because at least one person in the kitchen clearly knows what they're doing. If you are fiending for a quick mexican snack it would do fine, but if you're looking for a big-treat meal, then no, or at least not yet.
 
There's supposed to be a link to the new month's thread on the end of the old thread when the old thread is terminated. Crispy performed an improper abortion. I would suggest the mods review their internal memo procedures.

Quite, and the posts from 1/10/11 were not transferred over to this new thread. It's a shambles.

Not much AJ. I was away for a week too.
 
What? Some of my best mates etc etc. :D Only joking, AJ. Congratulations, may she temper your incandescent rage at cyclists and pedestrians.

Thanks for the update. Haven't been back since their opening week, when you can understand a bit of disorganisation. Will probably treat it as a place to go for a snack between pubs on a Friday, till such time as the menu expands a bit more and they (hopefully) establish themselves.

Anybody tried the new Dim Sum joint?
 
The food in the Landor has being going slowly downhill for months now. Mouldy bap for the burger the week before last and a sharing platter for 1-2 people hardly being enough for 1, which was a bit galling for nigh on £11. Shame as I really wanted it to keep up the good work.

So have you found out what that Pentecostal notice is about that's now on The Telegraph?

Will you be taking your new wife?

Oh, congratulations btw :)

Thankyou :)

I don't know much about it, I did have a leaflet through the door in the 3 inches of post that was waiting for us on our return that I haven't looked through yet. I'm surprised they have picked that venue when you've got the Islamic Centre next door... maybe it's a 'turf war' waiting to happen? With the two other large Pentecostal churches just down the hill I'm surprised there is a need for another one though. I can certainly see parking issues arising very quickly particularly if they end up having meetings at similar times.

I don't think we'd fit in there though tbh.

I'm sure it's Calvary Pentecostal that I read on the notice.

Here's a website of Calvary Pentecostal (although it's an American website)

Is the Telegraph being turned into a church then?

Well it has a great big banner over it with a sign which I'm positive says Calvary Pentecostal something (I'm assuming Church). I'm not sure if it was Calvary, but I remember making a point of remembering Cavalry so I could google it, but I knew it wasn't Cavalry but something similar... and having googled, they do exist
