Brazas(Tulse Hill)/by Brockwell Park/Brailsford Road

just wanted to say I have eaten there since the takeover....food still really great but place lacking the old warmth and high quality puddings.

I do wonder why they sold ..maybe the market venture was making so much cash?

Market Row's a much better location, annoyingly
 
Freehold was up about 3 years ago. With the flats' rental alone, the landlord would do well. So, it looks a bit like the South Beach situation: unrealistic rents possibly to allow for a residential development scenario
 
No I dont see that at all, it couldnt easily be developed and the Restaurant remains (all be it at a very poor shadow of its former self).
 
From what they said to us it was basically just a case of custom dropping off - especially since Brixton Village opened. I feel bad as we used to eat there all the time but then when we had our 2nd child we more or less stopped going out to eat, especially when they closed during weekdays. There might be more to it, but they are a great family, very resourceful and I don't doubt between Prima Donna and the patisserie they will be very successful. I see that the patisserie is already supplying cakes to a pretty swanky looking place in the West End.
 
what a shame. i liked that place. they forgot to charge me for a pudding once.
Due to knowing one of the waitresses there, and having eaten there successively for what I think was first visit, birthday, and pre-wedding dinner with future sister-in-law, I've been given a total of three free puddings in there!

I also heard that there were dodgy dealings with stupid rent increases...

They lost their deposit too apparently :(
 
yes apparently the landlord is being a total cockend about it... when brazas moved in they pretty much renovated a total shit tip, invested in all the new equipment, turned the place around and made it look fantastic. now the landlord has upped the rent and has ceased all the kitchen, cooking facilities installed by brazas, refusing to let them take it. not the fault of the new owners i know but just another example of a greedy fat cat landlord trying to make a fast buck. makes me cross.
 
I've seen activity in the restaurant, still with the old sign, when i went past on the bus. Anybody know if it is open again?
 
Bumping this again. It appears to be open for business though with new owners according to the guy in Primadonna. There was a sign outside when i went past on the bus advertising the specials of the day . Anybody been in?
