Browns Cafe, High Street

Thankfully the makeshift 'junk store' - run by the previous cafe owners has gone and the property has been put up for let.

Hopefully somebody with a brain, a bit of personality and does not go around alienating everybody will take over the rental of this unit. With Wimpy taking a turn for the worst over the two or three years and Browns serving up minute portions at highly inflated prices, this end of the town needs a decent greasy spoon or cafe. Yes...I know there is a KFC and a fish and chip shop and both are good occasionally! What has happened to Wimpy??? The guy who runs it is an idiot. Again, he has NO personality, prices go up every couple of months and the non-smoking section, is a joke!! Two tables surrounded by smokers. So, if Leatherdead can have decent cafes (ie. Cafe Roj - Bridge St, Sunshine Cafe - High St etc.) -- why cannot Dorking get any???

A Town Crier with no personality - in normal circumstances he wouldn't fit into the role, but in this case he is probably the only applicant.

That guy who runs Wimpy is a miserable b**tard! Heard the guy who ran it for quite a few years previously - tall guy with moustache, who chatted to everybody young and old is now a policeman in the Met!

To be quite honest, the guy who runs it present, does not like to work! He opens and closes when he feels like it, rips people off and changes his prices on a daily basis!! It is only a matter of time before Wimpy bites the dust just like Browns Cafe...
