SquareMeal Review of Cahoots

Silver Award

Like Gary Sparrow in 1990s sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart, you can time-travel back to WWII London when you rap on the ticket-office window at this mock-up 1940s Tube station. Set on a long-forgotten fantasy branch of the Bakerloo Line, complete with an original Underground carriage, it offers the chance to discover an air-raid shelter at the height of The Blitz. Jollied up by pint-pot pick-me-ups and tipples in Thermos flasks (all readied by a matinee idol manqué), Cahoots’s imagined cast of saucy sweater girls, seamed-stocking sirens, spivs, scoundrels, GIs and sailors jive to live electro-swing and gather for a sing-song at the old Joanna. With its period-perfect styling and wartime rations, even Vera Lynn would be fooled by this blast from the past – a celebration of plucky Londoners’ ‘keep calm and carry on’ ethos. And what a camp carry-on it is.

Never again.

My friends and I had an extremely disappointing experience when we were denied entry to a table we booked months in advance, simply because one of us was wearing trainers (smart casual white plain and clean trainers). Needless to say that all of us were "well-presented" as suggested on the website. The man at the door was rude and dismissive, scanning our outfits and sarcastically asking, “Didn’t you look at our website?” 

Nowhere on the website or in the booking confirmation does it mention a dress code prohibiting trainers. When we showed him the website, clearly proving there was no mention of footwear requirements, he just stared at us blankly without saying a word. His attitude was appalling. We’ve been regular patrons in the past, but after this disgraceful treatment, we won’t be returning.
