I have news

I went in there today and asked them when they were going to open. They looked at me a bit strangely as if to say "how did you get into our shop that isn't even open yet" and I explained that there were a lot of people wondering and looking forward to it open.

They are awaiting their licence and hope to be opening in two or three weeks.

I told them lots of people were looking forward to custard tarts.

They found that funny and seemed to relax a bit.

I don't even know what meh means, so meh to you to.

I thought you'd be interested in this news

Obviously not

That's the last time I go getting insider information on behalf of Brixton Hillites :mad:

Yay! Can't wait to sample their custard tarts - thanks for the update, Minnie

Did it look finished?

nearly, they had covered seats and tables and fish tank and counters etc. are all in place.

It sounds like they're only being held back whilst awaiting their licence

They're called pastels, with the emphasis on the 't'. I've told you this before.

Custard tarts, no wonder they found you funny.

Who gives a toss what they're called, I won't be eating them. I'm more interested to see if they'll be selling bread. Anyway, when in Rome...

I think they probably give a toss what they're called.

kyser_soze · Aug 7, 2009

Bah, it's all gentrification gone mad I tellz ya!!! What's wrong with an honest British bakery eh? Selling lard and chips and custard tarts called custard tarts, none of yer yuppiefied 'pastels'.

well if you're going to be regional about it, they're in Brixton and they're sodding custard tarts :mad:

Do you think they'll refuse to serve me if I ask for a custard tart?

They'll lose a lot of business that way

Pastel is the singular, and pasteis is the plural. Whatever they're called, they're yummy!

quimcunx · Aug 7, 2009

That's okay. I can only fit one in at a time anyway.

Sequential custard tarts FTW.

twistedAM · Aug 8, 2009

Oh I think I'll pop down NPR on the way to work. Spoon beckons. I need quality food to soak up some unquality beer....like that Stella 4% shite.

Pastel means "tart".
Nata means "custard".

A good translation would be "custard tart".
