Yvon cafe/bakery/patisserie

This new French place up by the black horse seems very good, though I only had a cup of tea, my friend rated her coffee and "Paris-Brest" pastry very highly. The service was superb, too.

I find people who navigate by pub just as baffling and as risibly unenlightening as they evidently find me with my landmarks of cafes, bookshops, artworks and open spaces. Anyway, now we all know the location of Yvon, what does anyone think of it and its wares?

That's OK!

You are too tough on this poster Tony. Give her a break please.

I'm sorry, but under the rules you will now have to incur a penalty of two points (on your licence) as you have been found guilty under the 1867 Navigation by way of Pub Names Act - subsection 67 (ii)(b) - "an offence shall have been committed if a person does knowingly, or unknowingly, refer to a location, being not in possession of the full address of said location, without reference to the nearest pub".In your case this would have been the North Star, and a suitable navigational steer to have offered might have been "just down from the North Star, on the left, same side of the road".

Yes! sorry there is no exciting pub discovery - just the old statue of a black horse on that side of the shopping centre.

I also thought she meant a boozer. I think it's where the horse statue is at the site where the Albany Cafe used to be.

Phil,I had same thought - wondering does Rachel mean the horse statue in the Ealing B'way Centre ?

Sorry Rachel,  I thought I knew my Ealing pubs but where is the Black Horse?
