Poppy 4 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Thank you, it was late 1950's it has a listing in the archives as chez Pierre 1959. I'm looking for the name of a Mr peters who apparently owned the place and possibly of Greek orgin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Michells and Butlers, That's the Brewery we were tied to, when we had our Beer off in the 70s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 it was late 1950's it has a listing in the archives as chez Pierre 1959. I'm looking for the name of a Mr peters who apparently owned the place and possibly of Greek orgin. This might be the closest you'll get. According to Picture the Past, this is approx 1950s. It would be on the right, about opposite the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 45,Bridlesmith gate, took away some of the wall behind bar no.2 in the Camelot club to find a hidden shop/stock area. Place was full of ladies hosery items circa '40's or '50's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,730 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I remember my Mum going to Chez Pierre with some people from where she worked, around 1960. I think she was quite looking forward to it, but came back unimpressed. Place was apparently in disarray, serving cold food and running out of basics like potatoes etc. Always stuck in my mind.

nonnaB 4,895 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 we used to go into Le Gourmet regularly but I dont remember it being on Bridlesmith Gate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Went in the 1960s to Le Gourmet on Bridlesmith gate, then it became the Hippo, so may have relocated NonnaB ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 It was in the early 70's. It was in a courtyard not far from the square going down towards m&s. practically opposite waterstones bookshop perhaps a little further up. Dont know if waterstones is still there.when Le Gourmet closed it reopened with Trattoria Conte Quote Link to post Share on other sites
