I wonder if, with a name like 'de Niro's', these caterers may well be catering for the local crime market?
Will this place be the meeting house for the Pakistani child-groomers, the cash-for-smash merchants, the traveller copper thieves, the Vietnamese waccy-baccy farmers, the Albanian sex pedlars..etc?
You eat there if you want...me, no way!
OI...MODERATORS...WHAT'S HAPPENED TO MY COMMENT ABOUT PIKE FISHERMEN?
It sound a bit dearer than the bill I got when I had my wedding reception there in 1977 (see I remembered). The place was staffed by girls dressed as serving wenches, I don't think it had been re-opened long.
I still have the bill. All the guests got a menu and told to pick whatever they wanted and they all had a good feed and enjoyed it. It worked out at £1 (a quid) a head plus the cake and booze.
I have just remembered that the Coach and Horses was called "Ye Olde Brown Cow" when I had my reception there.
That's what I thought,had to go back to post one to get my bearings.
Not been out that way for years.
That used to be the Friday night run Beni in the 70s, Set of from the Stop on Fielding Lane, up to the Shoulder of Mutton, then to the Coach, onto the Cow, then the Brit, down to the White Bull then Back to the Stop,
