In reply to Lynda. Think it used to be called Patchetts wine bar in early eighties. Later to become Othello Taverna.

[…] the former Alishan Restaurant became Elbi’s, refurbishment work revealed it was once known as Mead’s Bar in decades gone […]

I think it was a restaurant promoting to specialise in fish dishes.
I had my birthday celebration in there. It was the night of the great storm in 1987.
A bottle of Asti Spumente cost a fortune.

It didn’t stay for long!!

I lived above Kindas since 1988 and the owner Claire bought Kindas at the same time – it was another Indian restaurant called Shurushi at that time.

Another shop front installation in Upminster that breaches just about every basic Health & Safety regulation.

Who from Havering Council approved these and monitors these installations and who is culpable if a worker or member of the public gets injured?

Do these businesses ever submit RAMS for the work undertaken?

There was a very nice wine bar somewhere along there that specialised in fish dishes. I don’t remember it being called Meads though
