Cafe Sitifis review, Rushcroft Road - great for kids

hardly the first, or the last

That doesn't make it any better.

it's a good way for a small business/start up to get visibility or test the market without committing to a long lease. So can see why they do it.

Sure, that much is obvious. It's as much what kinds of shops are "pop-up" as the principle tbh. Can't remember seeing one that didn't make me want to hit someone.

Raw fish and unaged grape spirit doesn't make me want to hit anyone... the fact I can't have any makes me want to hit someone but there doesn't seem to be an obvious target....

The only ones I hate are corporate pop ups- big chains/brands doing it because it's trendy. The pop ups the Diageo brands keep pulling put my teeth on edge. Individuals or small firms who are trying out ideas, even if they are gimmicky or not for me, don't bother me

I suppose what rankles is often the fact that many of these shops appear in areas where normal/useful shops have failed/been pushed out. I like ceviche as much as the next person, but still.

So the idea of a lot of people getting pissed up and stuffing themselves at a night whose name relates to a human tragedy as shown in my earlier post doesn't at least make you a little queasy ?

The name's unfortunate, but they might not be aware of the Pisco earthquake - might think it's just a clever pun. Or am I being too nice?

I read your post and didn't get what point you were trying to make. I've just had to re read it, and the link, to find out what you meant. Maybe I'm unusually stupid, but I thought it was the last days of disco, tweaked because they are selling pisco

Yeah, most people won't know, but I bet anyone who does will find the name in very poor taste.

I don't know, but since I have connection however slight to the people of that town I cannot ignore it. I know other natural disasters such as The eruption of Vesuvius are used in a commercial way but that was a long time ago and since the town of Pisco is still trying to recover it all seems a bit decadent and exploitative to me. Maybe I should knock up some flyers to raise awareness on the night.

Wouldn't hurt to have a quiet word with the proprietors either.

Or why not contact the two women involved on the twitter handles they have provided? They may be surprised, not want to offend and change it.

Let's hope so. Or they might think it lends a dangerous vibrant edge to their bizniz.

No, it's still there under posts by others at the right of the page.
Any word from twitter ?

Really? AFAICT the last "post by others" was in March! Nothing from Twitter yet.

They don't seem big on replying to posts on the Facebook page in general, I suppose twitter is the favoured medium, would you be kind enough to keep us updated please ?

No bother.

Thanks......I have found the twitter accounts for the pop up and the chefs I cant see your posts but I can see they appear to buy their fish in Chelsea.

"Shaken not Stirred" would be a good name for a cocktail bar.

"Muddled".
