New food business

Hey, if by any chance anyone sees this, my name is Ben I’ve just started my first ever food pop-up in Coventry city centre, after being a chef for over 12 years I decided to try and open my own small business and so I’m just reaching out wherever I possibly can to share my food with whoever might check it out

My business is called Casa de Fresca and I will be running my pop up from the CafeForever23 kitchen, my current menu is Steak frites, served with either peppercorn, chimmichurri, cowboy butter, and I have a fresh cheesecake each day,

If you like what you see please come on down for a collection order or find me online via Facebook for more information

I’m open Monday/friday/saturday
4pm-10pm
@ 6 raglan street, cv15qf

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Support Small Businesses!

Hey all!!

There’s a little cafe that’s been open for a year now (i think) and it’s truly not getting as much traction as it deserves!!

Ranging from desserts to pastries to a BANGING full english breakfast.

The prices are so good and weekly game nights are held on mondays! (specific puff puff’s and waffles from 6pm-9pm tues-saturday!)

Safari Delights! 41 London Road, Coventry, CV12JP.

I’d love to see who comes and if you’re interested in the games nights please message me!!!

Loud bikes in the evening

Curious on people's opinions.

In Wyken there is a white dirt bike that drives around most evenings, constantly revving, sometimes up until 2am, without seeming to go anywhere but back and forth for the fun of it.

I appreciate I can't expect the world to be quite but I work shifts and have two young children who are repeatedly woken up. One is now teething which isn't helping him or me as we are both grumpy from lack of sleep.

There are several schools nearby so it is a given there are going to be young children in the area.

In search of new headphones

Are there hifi stores in the city that have a bunch of headphones that can be tested before purchasing?

Is it time to put the roof back on Coventry Cathedral?

With news that the Medieval cathedral at Coventry is becoming damaged in large part because the inside was never supposed to be exposed to the elements for as long as it has been - is it unreasonable to want to see an effort mimicking that of the campaign that saved and restored Notre Dame, and finally see it rebuilt 80 years after its destruction? I understand the arguments against: that it's supposed to be a memorial to the wartime fire bombing of Coventry; that it provides a tranquil space for reflection in the city centre... But a reconstruction doesn't damage its role as a memorial, if anything it could instead represent a powerful symbol of reconciliation, resilience and healing, finally restoring a scar on the city’s landscape. Beyond preserving an extraordinary piece of British heritage, a rebuilt cathedral could revitalise Coventry’s city centre, attract international tourism, create jobs and generate millions for the local economy, much as the new tomb of Richard III brought an estimated £79 million in Gross Value Added to Leicester. Given we have a Prime Minister interested in redevelopment outside London, and the King is an avid lover of saving important British architecture isn't now finally the time for a campaign to restore this midlands icon?

help needed!!! cv1 area parking

I am a Warwick university student and I've just moved into the CV1 area. Every road around here is permitted and it is impossible for students to get parking permits. I fully understand the need for permitted roads and how if everyone brought their cars there simply would not be enough space on the roads.

That being said, my circumstances pretty much require me to have a car. I woke until midnight several nights a week and I have pretty severe OCD which really restricts my ability to use public transport. There is only 1 car at my household and I drive all my housemates to and from uni, to the shops, wherever they need to go really.

I know my options are quite limited. I might have to just firm it and pay the PCNs when they come through but this is obviously not ideal.

I have a few questions for people in the CV1 area:

  1. What is parking enforcement like around here? Are they here regularly i.e., several times a week?
  2. Do you know of any rentable car spaces nearby?
  3. Would it be possible for an individual living in my area to put down my car for a visitor permit (of course I would pay the cost) so that I can park on the road?
  4. Are there any options I haven't thought of yet?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Looking for badminton partners / casual doubles

Hey everyone!

My husband (28M) and I (25F) are looking for people interested in playing badminton regularly for fitness and fun.
Skill-wise, I’d say my husband plays fine/decently, while I’m somewhere between beginner and intermediate. We're looking for just a good workout, some fun rallies, and a chance to meet new people!
If you're interested in playing doubles or just hitting around, feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM!
