Champagne & Fromage opening in Brixton soon

If you like your bubbles cold, BV in winter is the perfect place to drink it. No chance of your glass warming up. Your fingers and toes might go numb though.

Now that is true, had a meal there last winter with an overcoat and a scarf wrapped round me, NOT ENJOYABLE, won't be going back this time of year unless they have an open log fire

Some of the places do have log fires - Cornercopia, maybe the ex Bella Pasta?
 
What kind of mug spends a hefty chunk of wedge just to sit out in the cold or try to eat with shivering hands and a blanket covering their legs? It's not my idea of fun.
 
Two restaurants, two stories: Champagne et Fromage and Veranda.

Corks fly in one place and bullets in the other. Which do you think does more damage to the community ?
 
About 2 or 3 minutes. I'm merely surprised at the tidal wave of comment about C&F, while there's so little interest about a man actually being shot at Veranda. Not sure about your valorising point - I don't think I suggested that anyone was valorising Veranda.

why not start a thread on it then?
or even post on the existing one, which you haven't

still don't get why so many people seek to defend C+F like it is a slur on themselves, their lifestyle and choices etc

I think if you read the thread on Veranda it is pretty short because there is no debate: people getting shot is a bad thing, venues refusing to engage with the police after people have got shot is pretty stupid, they've lost their licence for now, it'll be interesting to see what happens next. There's not been much debate on the thread because it's pretty cut and dried, and the thread is pretty much just information. I don't think it has much bearing on the C+F discussion (and as I've said up thread, my main issue with C+F is that it's such a bloody horrible combination- I'm neither pro nor rabidly anti)

Stranglely Lidl was all out of Champagne and fizz for days after this.

I love fizz - but never with cheese! - but can't afford it much these days.

Last time I had Champers it was in Brixton on my Civil partneship day so we had to do something to celebrate - it was on special offer in the Albert and it was lovely (wouldn't have happened in Pat's day)

Lidl currently have Champagne at £12.99 a bottle.
 
So we must be 6 months or so down the line and the novelty will have worn off.

I'm curious, what's the latest? Still open? Busy? A pillar of the community yet?

Has it opened the door to other 'luxury' stores?
 
There were more luxurious places in there before and more have opened up since. Not quite sure why this place got singled out really.

What were these extra luxurious places then? The reasons for Fromage being singled out have been explained at very great length by several posters in this thread.

It's certainly played its part in attracting an entirely different clientèle to the market, especially on weekends where the demographics have shifted off the scale from its local market roots.

Without saying you're wrong or right, how do you pin this on Shit and Champers?
