Hooray for Plan B (Crouch Hill Station House)

Patso · August 2021

What’s not to love?
Vassily front of house complemented by David the ace chef, and Maria working hard in the background.
Amazing food and drink in a delightful setting.
Fantastic addition to SG.
Highly recommend.

PLANB · August 2021

They just arrived today, so we'll bake them tomorrow morning. seriously!

My Plan A was me living in the station house! Ah well, it was always a long shot - good luck to Plan B...

This place is great. Superb work selection. The food in the evening is seriously top-notch. Lovely people too.

Scruffy · November 2021

“Work selection”?

rikki · November 2021

I find it a bit up itself I'm afraid. And charging service charge on a coffee is a bit OTT when they're already asking 50p extra for plant milk on a very small cup. It's just a charge too far I'm afraid.

Had my last coffee there a couple of weeks ago, and their appalling lift music was on far too loud too. A real shame - it's such a tastefully designed space and could have been so good.

I think this place is great! Good decor, nice staff and really reasonably priced. Don't listen to this guy / gal who seems rather high maintenance. Charging for service, in the 22st century? Really? Yes mate.

rikki · November 2021

Interesting that @CrouchEnder123's very first post on this friendly forum - they joined just this morning - chose to be quite rude - and then disappeared.

Arkady · November 2021

*wine selection, sorry

mattrobinson · November 2021

I ate at plan B for the first time lady month. Thought the food, service ambiance were all cracking. Will be back ASAP!

PLANB · December 2021

Dear neighbours!

We would like to introduce our Christmas set menu which is available from 1st until the 23rd of December (except Sundays and for a good reason as on Sundays we now serve Sunday roasts).

Come!

Sincerely Yours

Been there a couple of times now. Service a little slow, prices reasonable, food impeccable. Far too good for Stroud Green. It’s like putting a diamond tiara on a pig. Is it too forlorn a hope that the pig will wipe its snout and learn to walk on its hind legs?

Patso · June 2022

Strange comment likening Stroud Green to a pig!? Hardly ..... perennial debate on here down to earth rough around the edges buzzing neighbourhood vs gentrified ersatz Crouch End.

Plan B - is a great addition which Stoud Green thoroughly deserves.

Scruffy · June 2022

Filthy streets, violent crime, decrepit housing stock, people sleeping rough, bad punctuation… Stroud Green is merely “rough around the edges” is it? Really? Mate, it’s ALL bleedin’ edges! And buzzing? Oh yes, we’ve got buzzing all right: Buzzing with the sound of police helicopters. Never mind yer ersatz; It could be BETTER than Crouch End inasmuch as (no doubt partly due to our vastly superior public transport facilities) we are not blighted to the same extent by SUVs, and (no doubt due to our superior family-planning facilities, probable higher child mortality, and/or a bit of socio-economic serendipity) we are not blighted by the Cholmondely-Worthingtons having too many children around the same age. And I don’t think the pandemic—the café pandemic, that is—has hit us so hard. “Down to earth”? I’d believe that if any cyclist riding through a red light at the SGR-Tollington Park crossroads or riding the pavement outsideTesco were unseated and horsewhipped or beaten with garden rakes by angry townsfolk. Ah, sweet reveries…

Plan B is indeed a great addition, but I can see neither how Stroud Green deserves nor how it will sustain Plan B.

The police helicopters as you know are actually going past us from theit base in Hertfordshire

Scruffy · June 2022

And often circling for several minutes at a time over Stroud Green, no doubt to admire the view.

Ali · June 2022

They do down around the Station at SS Road or when there is an event like a Arsenal Home game or gigs in the park.

It seems that the Cholmondely's dont live in CE but do have a big castle in Cheshire with a nice garden and a second pile in Norfolk

Scruffy · June 2022

Some of my best friends have piles. It’s wicked to mock the afflicted.

Patso · July 2022

@Scruffy just the kind of comments that put people off commenting. Enjoy your rants in your echo chamber.

Scruffy · July 2022

@Patso I don't know why those kind of comments would put people off (from) commenting. After all, they didn't stop you. To what exactly are you objecting? I don't happen to have an echo chamber, but I'm blessed with the ability to enjoy a rant anywhere.

kreuzkav · July 2022

This has to be the best post on here for a while. No hunting for lettuce. Grammar nobs, food snobs, gentrification, service charge. I think everyone should tip or give a service charge untless the service is very bad. Keep it real SG. T-shrits versus jumpers over shirts.

Howdy, Stranger!
