I thought it was always Jimmy's Plaice, but they just changed the sign? (the new one is delightfully understated too).The chip shop on Coldharbour Lane that was Jimmy's. Then was named something else. Is now Jimmy's again. My bit of useless information there lol.
They wanted me to run a feature on them. They said that they were giving away half their profits to charity in July, so I checked the website, found no evidence of that at all, so wrote back and asked why.It is very discreet. May I ask how you stumbled across it?
Perhaps there a charity which supports people injured through over adventurous use of their toys? I can't image that it's either easy or cheap to retrieve one of those balls if it were to accidentally disengage from the purple plunger...
I've no idea really tbh. I knew they had changed the name. I thought it was a change of people too. I just noticed in the advert part of the south london press, an ad saying "Jimmy's Is Back"
and no doubt one of the "buff butlers" would be on hand to operate it
If you are thinking of hosting
I'm not into footie so this is a revelation.
Looks horrible. They've gone for the uninviting, dodgy lock-up look. As displayed in numerous police shows from the 70s and 80s.
I like rusty industrial but not over the moon about it as a new fabrication for a main street. Would prefer it if it had been there already and was being made use of.
If they can make the worst cheese in the history of the world taste good I salute them. They couldn't manage to do it for the open goal of the various fry up options though.
I thought walking past late last night when it was still open that it looked like those back-street bars you get in Barcelona. Maybe that's what they want to convey.
Maybe they're going for that totally unimaginative, totally ripped off edgy Brookyln look? Whatever the reason it looks ugly as fuck. Why would the council let them trash a shop front like that in the name of fashion?
a few more days of this heat and the drains will be humming so much that customers will be able to literally breathe in the ambience
as long as the prices are high enough to repel undesirables they probably don't care
Halloumi is best grilled.
Not a fan I take it?
I tried it last night. Slightly unexpected but friendly enough door / security system with a short wait inside but I think it is because all punters are given tables or a seat at the bar. Other than that it was very good.Tried two cocktails which were unusual and excellent, beautifully made and presented. The owner came over for a chat and was impressively enthusiastic about all things cocktail and the staff also seemed "into" it. I thought they'd be in the £9 or £10 region but they were £6 and £7. I only like cocktails every now and again but I'd definitely go back.They have a 2am licence.
