Closing down. Was unexpected, I now the beer was crap, but the rest seemed ok.

Sad news. Never got there but I was always happy to know it was there. I did get quite a few Xmas presents from their range too.

Was a pretty good place. Not too expensive for where it was and the staff were really friendly.
The TV advert for GoDaddy is still showing.

Yeah I saw the go daddy advert the other day.

I went there a few times.

 

[slowmotion]

I've been a few times at the end of London Sunday rides and always enjoyed it.

Sad news.

been on tv a few times too, itv 4 used to use it from time to time if i remember rightly ?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Shame. Been there a couple of times for the start of the Great Escape Audax.

It sounds like the reduced footfall of office workers in London has done for them, like many other cafes / restaurants etc.

A real shame, I never went to old street, but have witnessed their outside catering on cycling events, which was top notch.

Yep, when they had that dreadful Cycling show.
Well, I thought it was dreadful anyway. Presenters sitting in the Cafe interviewing people whilst people in the background munching on their bacon roll whilst eyeballing the camera.

Yep, along with I can imagine rate and rents rises from greedy landlords.

I'd imagine that their location on the edge of the City of London is probably pretty pricey.

Surely getting less pricey now?

yes I imagine their electricity costs have halved and with the end of the Covid rates reliefs etc its an absolute breeze now.

rock and a hard place i guess, trying to make a program about cycling that gets people interested but doesn't get too technical but not enough for real cyclists .

Thats about the rub. The first couple of presenters they had were just terrible. They got new ones in, changed the format a little and it fared better.
