It has been all doom and gloom here in the UK but well the old hospitality business certainly seems to be buoyant following some of my recent experiences.
Just this last Monday whilst meeting with a long term client/candidate from South Africa I thought I had it all sussed where I would take them for lunch in the South London suburbs.. well it proved a shade embarrassing to find choice after choice was still closed after the festive break.
Only after a quick call to a friend with a encyclopaedic knowledge directed me through the Blackwall Tunnel to a Gastro Pub in the Isle of dogs that certainly came up trumps… it was doing quite a brisk trade for a Monday lunch and well saved the day…can thoroughly recommend it so do check it out at http://www.thegundocklands.co.uk/
Following on from this I then decided to treat “Mama Cod” to a night out as the little “Sprat” is not around for the night and we decided on a number of local options but found all were fully booked or could only offer an unsuitable time to service our gastric needs.
Not bad for a Friday night in early January with crap weather as well. Will report on how it all goes and what we think of our seventy mile round trip for dinner!!!
