Ohhh really!? Looking forward to that - I must have the wrong end of the stick as I was under impression that what was going to be the fishmongers is now going to be Clacton Craft. I assume two different shops in that bit of road then?
Yes I heard that rumour too, but what was the door shop is certainly becoming the fishmongers and greengrocers. I think the Clacton Craft story was the result of a promotional poster in a window, or something along those lines, but no substance to it as far as I’m aware.
The licensing notice for Clapton Craft is on a shuttered shop next door to the Door place.

Just to add Stephan the owner is a local Dad & we (The Food Assembly) will be working with him when he’s up and running. I think this will be a brilliant asset to the area & can’t wait till he opens

Floor is now all sorted. There was a drain pipe dripping down into the ground below which had made one corner very damp. It’s now been rerouted.
There were unbelievable amounts of stuff to clear from the back units, roof and numerous other areas. Have lost count of van loads required.
Hoping to have plastering finished today and then electrics and plumbing to get sorted.
Please keep and eye on our website, Twitter and Facebook feed for up to date information.

Looking forward to your opening, hope you have squid and mussels
Hello all, been quietly reading this forum for months, first time contributer!
My husband and I are new residents to Forest Hill, and we love it so much we want to expand on our existing work in music to open an institute of contemporary music in Forest Hill (music lessons, instrument retail and community music space).
We’re well qualified and ready to go, other than the necessary commercial space. We’d prefer Dartmouth Road but would consider anywhere central, ideally with some basement space. We’re following all leads but struggling to make contact with anyone re. letting vacant sites.
We think a music school would be a great addition to what’s available in Forest Hill, and looking for tips as to vacant space for our new musical home!
Many thanks
Lucy
