I’ve been to both of those a few times
Recommend both. The New Dun Cow is our option now. Cracking set of taps, good food, lots of screens

Turkish barbers?
Not for me thanks, everyone comes out looking the same!
I am still stuck in the 60s - a trim about 4 times a year.

I was told that this is Avatar, moving from Mardol to the Bucks Head, not an additional Indian restaurant I believe it's the same owners but Avatar is still going. I haven't been myself yet but seen plenty of things on FB from friends who have been and they are very complimentary so will give it a go soon. I tend to wait a few months before venturing to a new place, let the teething problems get sorted out. |

Many of the so-called Turkish Barbers apparently act as a front for illegal activities
Whether this is true or not, my question is, why are they even here? Do we have a national shortage of barbers? I think not.
What benighted idiot in the Home Office gave these people a work visa? and if they don’t have a work visa, why have they not been deported?

That's a whole new argument, but I do understand and agree with what you are hinting at 👍 |

Very naive commmet Andy
The evidence is that they have proliferated about 50x in the last 4 years. Woking has 11 and they worked out that every male in Woking would have to have their hair cut once a week to make it pay. And that’s ignoring bald people !

Details of the visa and leave to stay regulations for Turkish citizens is here www.gov.uk/turkish-business-personOne explanation to the increase in Turkish Barbers I've read lies in the eligibility criteria for these visas, which changed after brexit and the right to claim full time leave to stay lies in the eligibility criteria which is. Eligibility To be eligible to apply for an extension of your Turkish Businessperson visa you need to: have a valid Turkish Businessperson visa show you have not broken any immigration laws keep running a viable business keep being able to pay your share of the costs of running the business show that your share of the profits continue to be enough to support you and your family without your needing to have another job Turkish barbers have been around in the UK for a while, but there was a big influx of Turkish Cypriot's in the 70s due to upheaval in the region at that time, and many of those immigrants set up food and barbers businesses, which were family run, and we're now seeing the sons and grand children of those 1970s immigrants setting up their own businesses often backed by the parents who set up and run those original businesses. The change in the visa rules post brexit put more emphasis on Turkish workers to prove they were running a viable business, so setting up new barbers shops was one way of doing this. This coincided with covid and general decline in the high street, so getting retail units on the high street became cheaper as well. Thats not to say all the new barbers are legitimate above board businesses, but perhaps offers an alternative explanation to the recent big increase in these businesses |

I find it hard to believe there's much of a gap in the market for another bog standard sit down Indian but the fact they're looking at a pub makes me wonder if somebody's looking at a Desi pub type thing. These are all over Birmingham and the Black Country (not complicated; imagine decent pub, sports in TV, nice beer etc meets decent Indian restaurant) and I've been saying for a while one would do well in Shrewsbury
Saffron Cottage in Ford and Anjalis at Lea Cross have both done this and appear to have done very well.
Saffron Cottage is an outstanding Curry.

Quite agree . My daughter put me on to Saffron Cottage . I always thought hardly anyone used the place, how wrong was I , it gets pretty packed at times . They also do a great take away service . Yes , the food is top quality no doubt , don’t forget to book so you won’t be disappointed. |

You asked for evidence and mentioned farage I just added a link to back up your post and where the rumours are being shouted from just in case you presumed I have a secret dossier revealing a massive money laundering scheme that I could reveal on here 😝 |

The Yak & Yeti is very nice - funnily enough I went there for a work related visit last night, and for a Wednesday night it was packed to the rafters and at least 2 tables had a sitting start and end and another sitting on it by the time we had left.
The Goan Lamb Curry is to die for - and Guinness 0.0 in cans available for the sensible people!

Yes the new rules came in 2020 as part of the post Brexit rules and ending of EU free movement, which saw the government change a lot of leave to stay rules and eased none EU visa restrictions. Turkish workers have certainly rapidly increased as a result |

Spooky. i was there a couple of Wednesday's ago and had the Goan lamb curry with the steamed Tibetan bread and coconut rice as you said it was flipping lovely. |
