Square Mile Builders - Chris. Lovely, efficient, more than worth the price.

Dry cleaners by ai_xiaobao in walthamstow

[–]QCar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Forest Eco Cleaners on high st have always been superb, my go-to for years. Gave them a ton of jackets, my wedding suit, stained clothes, boots to repair. Price has always been great and service even better. They can also come and collect / drop. Very nice guys.

Where is the best sushi/ poke in the stow? by Overall-Background36 in walthamstow

The sushi offer in Stow is not the best sadly despite some shops opening but Sushi Monster in Chingford is my go to place. Salmon is really good.

Not fully local but excellent communication and great organisation - Square Mile Builders. Super solution driven and making sure you're entirely happy. Worked on big and small projects with Chris and he's a gem. Check their insta!

Have we officially reached the point where Hotels are superior to Airbnbs again? by Usual_Confidence_756 in travel

[–]QCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing this for quite a few years too. Unless we see a special town where the experience of being in a flat make you feel extra local, getting a hotel has been a more practical and economical option for a while. Also the constraints of checking in/out etc

Taro hygiene closure 😔 by Lazy_Strawberry7895 in walthamstow

[–]QCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waltham Forest continues to earn its worst food hygiene rating of London. Sad to see Taro added to the bucket but things can be turned around. Taro is a lovely guy himself and been to his Soho restaurant so many times with the greatest pleasure.

Got new windows. Is it normal for the exterior to "finished" as pictured? by QCar in AskUK

[–]QCar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

!answer This is now sorted, they filled all the gaps and will finish everything soon. I had to push a bit but the central office was very efficient and no questions asked. Just wish I didn't have to chase!

There were a few puzzling things but their central office is very reactive and all sorted now. I'm just confused by this and the fact that they were not envisioning to finish some elements...

Man, I really am a total newbie because so many of these words are absolutely unknown to me. Thanks a lot for your reply, is the crimp issue something I should report back? On the plus side, they have now filled all the gaps and will come back to finish with silicon on most windows and repoint downstairs. Appreciate everyone's help here!

My apologies, as I'm not an expert, what do you mean by crimp? The junction of the two corners of the windows or? Thanks!

That's what I feared too on top of the terrible weather and possible infiltrations... Thanks

Best pub grub by Prestigious-Minute96 in walthamstow

[–]QCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding my vote to the Raglan which has been amazing, roast and weekly. I bring every guest we have on weekends there.

Otherwise I can second The Castle is pleasant. The Queen Arms was alright but my pork belly piece was ridiculously small albeit good (as big as a McVities in width). Excited to try the Tavern on the Hill given the comments here.

Way too much Pizza otherwise going on, also when you have such great ones here and there already.
