There was supposedly a totally topless bar opening in MK....

The area has become a mecca for restaurants, including Bella Pasta, Nando's and La Tasca tapas bar in the old Yates's Wine Lodge.

How bloody depressing. Are there any non-chain places?

Wasn't the topless bar featured on Sky's Britain's Toughest Pubs in Stony Stratford or somewhere like that?

Not sure about that! This was in central MK... some proper rough gangster pubs in Stony though, shame 'cos it's a nice olde worlde little place.

I read that this morning on the way in to work, seems like a perfect location. However not sure I will be allowed to take the family there for our Saturday lunch. Usually Nando's or La Tasca.

YB of course there is non chains but usually they do not exist in the High Street. So for a lunch bite these are ideal.

Erm, there's also Ask, Pizza Express and Mamma Almafi's (sp?).

Not in corporate, High Street Britain, there aren't.

:cry:

Mama amalfi's is now Bella Pasta

Seems a sensible move to me, all the chains up by the cinema.

A bit like they were trying to do with the high Street (underpass) end of Southchurch Road a few years back , Frankie and Bennies , Pizza hut etc.

Little point opening a shop down there, it would be on its own, so give the punters a choice .

They can't afford it.....

Chains don't need to build up fresh reputations for every restaurant, so they can afford to pay high street rates from the word go.

 

[BrettieAngell]

It's all about Nandos!!

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Good news, about time there was a Hooters in the south.... ;)

A million times better than pound shops.

I quite like the family friendly development theme at the top of the High Street and I think it has put the brakes on the decline of the town.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Will be good news for the club as well. Should add a few more onto the gate from away fans.
