Dropped in to Franklins which was packed and with very little room between tables it felt too cramped,


moved on and went in to eat at gourmet burgers which was very quick, good value, and the bacon and avocardo burger was so large as to need two hands to subdue it. Twenty five quid for two including tip a portion of chips and drinks made it feel like a bargain.


Last week we went to eat at the Palmerston, first time for me although my daughter had been in before. I had Lamb which was succulent melt in the mouth stuff and followed by their apple pie, this was the best I've had as it appeared to be like a thin crispy pancake with delicious apple slices over the top, it took near two hours from start to finish including both courses and drinks but it is not the kind of food you want to hurry and not the ideal place for young children to sit still for so long either.


The back room is the place to be as it is quieter than the family driven front, overall if you are a gourmet then it's the place to go and indulge yourself once in a while, for an occasion as it worked out a little over thirty quid per head which in these days of 'crappy pound syndrome' was well worth it.

    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.  
    • I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!
    • Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
