A cafe called The Quiet Cup has been registered for food hygiene at 121 Lee Road, the stretch running south from Blackheath Village towards Lee Green. It is listed as awaiting its first inspection, which is what a newly registered food business looks like before an officer has been round; Greenwich council holds the registration.
Lee Road is a walking and commuting route rather than a shopping parade. A cafe that survives there will do it on regulars heading to and from the station rather than passing trade. The rating, when it comes, will be the first public verdict — and the question worth asking is whether the Village's overflow of coffee drinkers reaches this far down.
- A business called The Quiet Cup, of the restaurant/cafe/canteen type, is registered at 121 Lee Road, London SE3.
- The entry is marked as awaiting inspection, a new registration.
- Greenwich council is the responsible authority for the registration.
