And the winner is....... The Rosendale! Just had a meal there in the restaurant side which was good and wine which was amazing: Viognier and Muscat :)


The waiter told me that they had won today and beat Monsieur Ramsay to the title.

Allfornun - It's true.


I live a couple of minutes away so I'm always in there after work. The bar menu is good but I would suggest you go for the upper part as that is where the restaurant menu is served. works out to about 40-50 per head depending on how many courses and wine you go for.



Jahlush - yes it has been fixed up A LOT since you were there. Not to say it was that bad before mind. It also has private dining/function rooms upstairs. See pictures http://www.therosendale.co.uk/

I love Chez Bruce but the numbers you gave a. should be ?37.50 for 3 courses and b. doesn't include wine or the discretionary 12.5% so more like ?55 per head. What I gave was all in (including 9 glasses of different wine from a 30 strong list of wine by the glass) and was of a very good quality. It (being the quality) is high enough to perhaps receive a star one day.


The winelist http://www.therosendale.co.uk/menu.asp?menu=2689 is charitably marked up too. I can definitely recommend the Viognier and Muscat - sublime.


I'd sooner pay that than ?11 for a sandwich.

Cheeky sod! I've been in loads. Chapter One and Arbutus are two examples of michelin starred restaurants where you can get a meal for two with a modest wine for under ?100. And there are loads where you could spend less than ?150.

Indeed, Jeremy.

I think most people go to M-star restaurants 'as a treat' and so order all the trimmings (aperatif, cheeseboard, digestif, wine galore). It need not be so. Order modestly.. and go twice!


(Err... That said, I think we coughed-up over ?175 in CB's last time)

downsouth - don't get me wrong, the menu does look good and I'd love to check it out some time. It's just that I was initially surprised at those prices in a pub. But if the food is of a high quality (which apparently it is), then I guess it's pretty good value after all!
I agree it's great for the area, I've been once just after it opened and it was very good, not really a gastro pub though. I believe Anglea Hartnett was championing it at the awards!! Perhaps now that Ramsay has closed the restaurant at The Connaught she's looking.....................

If only - that would put a rocket under Dulwich's profile. We already have a few bentleys parking out there of an evening. Saw a few really old crusty Michael Winner types in there last night no doubt off the back fo the evening standard article.

    • I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.    
    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
