The 3 dishes we had were delicious and the service friendly and efficient. However, the 'Papad & Pickle' (a broken papadum with 2 tiny dishes of Chutney and yogurt sauce) at £5.5 and the Tandoori Roti at £3.50 are totally overpriced and should be complementary considering the above average prices of the main dishes.

We instructed Russell Perring (RJP Roofing and Building Ltd.) based on the numerous recommendations on this forum to fix the top of a party wall. He was very helpful, friendly and professional and carried out the works to our complete satisfaction at a reasonable price. We will certainly instruct him again for future roofing jobs and whole-heartedly recommend him and his company.

Unbelievable waste! This photo taken in July of at least 50 loaves left outside the Brick House Bakery demonstrates a lack of social conscience. Why not donate them to food charities??

I just send the following message to our Southwark MPs Harriet Harman, Helen Hayes and Neil Coyle and would encourage everybody in Dulwich to send a similar message if you are - like me - appalled by the indiscriminate distribution of 'never-use' plastic bags by charities. Dear Southwark MPs, The government successfully introduced pricing for 'single-use' plastic bags; thus reducing their use considerably. But the amount of 'never-use' plastic bags indiscriminately distributed by charities to every household in the borough (and country) is appalling! As a resident of Southwark (East Dulwich), I received more than 30 bags in less than 3 years (see attached photo)!!! Multiply that by the number of households in the borough (and country), this will amount to a huge mountain of plastic never used that will eventually land on landfills or worse: in the oceans. Environmentally very irresponsible! The worst 'offender' seems to be the Macmillan Cancer Support accounting for 12 of my 30 bags. While I understand the need of charities to raise funds for their good causes, they should consider the impact of their distribution of 'never-use' plastic bags and find ways to avoid this environmentally bad practice. Perhaps they could use compostable and bio-degradable bags could instead, collect their bags for re-distribution, provide bags on request only, or similar. Please use your influence to eliminate the distribution of 'never-use' plastic bags. Thanks!

We gave Mr. Liu a try a few years ago, but having been charged 50 pence for a tiny dish of chilli sauce and another 50 pence for a few cut chilles, we never went back. Neither the food nor the atmosphere was anything to shout about. Hopefully the new owner will make a positive difference.

A CPZ 2-hours during the day would keep commuters out of the area without much impact on local shops and restaurants being frequented by people from outside the area. However, why is Southwark Council proposing a 'parklet' in Zenoria Street in front of the 'Brickhouse' bakery, thus giving them free outside seating space maintained by the council?!? Did 'Brickhouse' suggest/ask for it?!? This is a residential street, thus customers (often with babies and toddlers) chatting there all day would be a real nuisance. And with the EDT just across the street, what would stop drinkers to use the parklet in the evening generating even more noise (and rubbish)? Even if the CPZ goes ahead, that parklet should not be implemented!

We needed some plumbing work, exterior painting of 1st floor window sills and replacement of a door threshold done. Having seen the numerous recommendations for TDR Dulwich Property Maintenance, we contacted Tony for a quote, which was very prompt and reasonable. He and his friendly team finished the works to our complete satisfaction and it was a pleasure working with them. We will definitely contact them again when we need maintenance to our property and recommend them without hesitation.

I recently moved to East Dulwich and am looking for a table tennis club in or near East Dulwich or an opportunity to play regularly.
