Many years ago (c.25) there was a great curry house in Bigg Market run by a Mr Latif but I can't remember the name of the establishment. Ruth in Hambledon, Hampshire "The Cradle of Cricket"

John, I do remember Viv the barman, so it as "The Golden Tiger" I was in, but then that was circa 1960, a long time ago, and I still think it was down the Groat Market on the right-hand side, but -- maybe I'm mistaken on the location ? I preferred "The Old George" or "Will Curly's" (one of the old-time boxers), that was man's bar, sadly now gone.
