East Dulwich

[Sweet FA]

I saw her last week, at about 8Am sitting in her dresisng gown in her flash house.

Through high-powered binoculars no doubt, you weirdo. (That bus stuff's just a cover isn't it?)

They're not even real roadworks, they're just a cover for zoltan. If you look closely you can see they're papier mache - and they've been there forever without getting anything done.

I assume people know Jenny Eclair lives just up the hill...

yeah, she can be spotted in m&s on the walworth road.

and jo brand is to be spotted in peckham rye park when she's slumming it, or dulwich park when not.

 

[mod]

jo brand! What a muppet. So is not the slightest bit funny.

 

[BlackSpecs]

she and her family all wear identical glasses....a shining example for all of us.

You have tumbled my game/ its a fair cop guv, etc etc etc

East Dulwich/Lordship Lane update

Went for a stroll up The Lane yesterday and can report that Caffe Nero was rammed when I walked past it. Really busy. I really don't understand this as there are at least 3 or 4 similar (independent) places on the same street. People like spending money in chain stores and cafes. Sad but true. I also noticed the Lordship Lane has many 'chain stores' already which have been there for years. Just the smaller ones. Anyway....

Popped Inside 72 and am pleased to say our Drew Barrymore look-a-like is still working there. What a smile!!

 

[William of Walworth]

This Inside 72 place -- does it sell proper beer?

If not, it cannot qualify as a decent drinking place ...

 

[Ms T]

At least East Dulwich has now got a proper butchers -- as well as an embarrassing amount of gift shops and an extortionate deli. I have to say I like Franklins, and Le Chardon and The Cheese Block.

That sweet shop is run by someone I used to work with.

 

[zoltan]

Do you class Impoerted Lowebrau vom fass as propa beer?

U
I certainly do.

Also check out the Erdinger Weiss beir in bottles - loverly, but make my head ache the next day

I wouldn't deny it -- authentic German and Czech lagers show up the imitation, chemical adulterated, mass produced on a production line in Stoke on Trent ersatz crap that passes for 'lager' in this country for the utter shite it is

Was just curious about whether the place ALSO sold decent English beer of a real kind ... there seems to be a bit of a shortage of that in East Dulwich, or am I out of date?

 

[christonabike]

Real ale:

there's three or four on tap in that Crown and Greyhound pub, in Dulwich

If you don't live/do owt there, though, there's absolutely no reason to go there; we go afters playing the football

 

[zoltan]

Sory - theyve got San Miguel I know, but cos I dont drink the brown stuff, I dont take any notice

The Palmerston always has a couple of ales on; I think they've got Pride and something else at the moment. My pa-in-law says they're pretty well kept.

 

[suzee blue cheese]

Me and Hip found ourselves in the Palmerston quite by chance for Sunday lunch a couple of weekends ago. They run a mean kitchen - the food there was beautiful. Though makes sense to buy and pay for your beers at the bar otherwise you end up paying service on the total drinks and food bill.

We were originally supposed to be meeting someone at the Dog for lunch, but as he didn't show and the 'carvery' looked very desultory, we moved on. It's a nice pub though, especially on a weekday evening when it's a lot more relaxed. Coming in from bitter weather to that roaring fire was lush.. And it does have several tasty real ales.

Seconded here. Ended up in the Palmerston for mothers day and must admit I was very impressed with the sunday lunch. More expensive than most (£12 per meal) but the food was superb, well cooked and thoroughly enjoyable. def worth a visit if celebrating.

The Crystal Palace Tavern - a hybrid pub representing the old and new ED, encompassing a stripped-floor, tarted up front bit and tatty leather banquette back bit with grumpy sods and pictures of THE Crystal Palace everywhere.

Always a few ales on tap.

It's risible.

Only worth going in the summer. One of the finest pub gardens.

yeah, me and the missus have tried about 3 times to have sunday lunch there.. 1st time there was nowhere to sit, the 2nd and 3rd times we were too late (they stop serving at something ridiculous like 4:30!) ... despite the price (tis alot for a sunday lunch no?) ... we WILL still make it one day (probably involves not having a big one saturday! )

 

[Sweet FA]

You pretty much have to book now it's so busy. If you call on Fri a.m you should get a table but it's not guaranteed...

 

[suzee blue cheese]

At 4:00 to be precise. We turned up at 3:50 and although they'd run out of the beef, the chef substituted a rather fine steak each instead. The Yorkshires were the best I've ever tasted... *drools*

It was £11 each if I recall correctly. The Dog was asking near to £10. For what we got, £11 seemed cheap by comparison.

 

[mod]

Have a very weird experience in the Dog when this tall blond bird started chatting me up.I'd been up for 2 days but still managed to hold it together and was getting on alright with her when she confessed she was actually a mate of the guy who runs the place and he'd sent her over to find out if I was under cover Old Bill! They were all going to the bogs a lot and were a little para I'm guessing. I didn't take it too well.

me and Mum were really lucky - were planning on going to the Bishop and popped into the Palmerston, first ones in and they had one spare table. Try the beef - its awesome! 30 mins later the place was rammed.

 

[Maggot]

Where is this Inside 72 place, sounds great!

 

[milesy]

lordship lane. can't remember what number, though.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

quite near the top (goose green end)

 

[DRINK?]

lordship lane. can't remember what number, though.

Could be number 72 possibly? who is in Lordship lane this weekend? I had know idea there were urbanites scattered all over the 'wich

Page-2 on Nunhead Lane is the best pub in the area mind.....a lot of research has gone into that bold statement...South Londons best kept secret

I know, I've already tapped up my Dulwich resident friends for a visit, although one described it as "american" although confesses to never having been there.
