Ashburnham Triangle Association

Hello everyone, Please join us on Wednesday evening, 6:30pm in the back room of the Ashburnham Arms for a conversation with Chris Horn, client project lead, to present the revised application to build three houses to replace the garages on Ashburnham Place (opposite St. Marks Centre). Originally submitted as a larger development to construct five houses, and with planning permissions refused, this is being brought back as a smaller scheme following advice from the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Hannah Cornett, the architect involved with the planning, will also be in attendance. We look forward to seeing as many people as possible to discuss this significant building application within the Triangle. Do aim to arrive early to get your seat (and drinks). Snacks will be made available as well.

As described by the website Square Meal: " El Alquimista  specialises in Latin fusion cuisine, drawing inspiration from across South America with a modern twist. The menu is packed with colourful, flavourful dishes designed for sharing, including tacos, empanadas, ceviche, and grilled meats. Signature plates include slow-cooked beef birria tacos, crispy pork belly with chimichurri, and grilled prawns with mango salsa. Vegetarian and vegan options are also thoughtfully crafted, such as jackfruit tacos and roasted cauliflower with spiced mole." Their Greenwich location had its soft-launch opening on Friday night with a partial menu unveiled for the next two weeks (while they get accustomed to working in the new space) until the full menu goes live.
