I mentioned this to the waiter/proprieter, and he said, in a very French way, "Oh, really? That is interesting." I've never been back.

"Norman: I do give a ‘shit’, thank you very much! I’m not trying to hoodwink. The whole point of writing that ‘email’ was exactly because I give a ‘shit’." Judging by Ali's post, Matthew doesn't give a shit. Case closed. Re: LPP.

We went along for breakfast and had to ask for milk and sugar with our coffee(why do they not learn to bring it every time?) and were looked at with barely concealed contempt. When our breakfasts arrived we had the cheek to ask for ketchup, butter and salt and pepper (death stares again), surely bringing them to the table beforehand would be easier for them than coming in and out constantly? My boyfriends mushrooms tasted of chemicals, my omelette was poorly cooked and the accompanying salad was gritty. I then tried to attract the rude managers attention to order a croissant as my other food had been inedible. He was about 5 tables away and just turned around and sneered 'what?' rather than coming to my table and asking how he could help. At that moment I realised that we would never be going back there and I went to the bakery and bought a delicious cheese pie instead! LPP is so awful it’s almost laughable.

I hope its ok that I am writing on here, I'm just hoping to find some distant relatives. My Grandmother , who's maiden name was Ethel Denny (married Fryer) born in 1916, came from Camberwell at approx. 2 yrs old and moved to Canada. Her parents names were Alfred & Lillian Denny. Just thought it was worth a shot, if anyone read this and had any info...Tanx so much..cheers Hi my name is Jenny.

If you are unhappy about something please let us know! If I waited an hour for a steak, requested rare and served overcooked, with inedible sauce, I'd complain! The person in charge (me or the owner) will then address your problem, and kick some arses if neccesary! I can't help if I don't know there is a problem. Norman: I do give a 'shit', thank you very much! I'm not trying to hoodwink. The whole point of writing that 'email' was exactly because I give a 'shit'. Thanks again, Matthew Hello again.

How much longer can it hold out? It's always empty. Cmon people show some support or else it'll be shut in no time. Wanted to go in last night but nobody there so didn't want to be the only folk in there. Went to FM Mangal instead. Good food and nice decor. Not as value as Golden Grill but well priced with some interesting offal options and nice service. Recommended. Q a lot of tables and not many takers. Again, how long will this place last? I've yet to try Le PP. I’m worried about Spice of Life. How much longer can it hold out? It’s always empty. Cmon people show some support or else it’ll be shut in no time.
