Until it closed, the Blue Brick Cafe in East Dulwich offered the most wonderful home-cooked chips to accompany a spot of the old egg & b. But now, sadly, it has gone.


I have searched far and wide - at enormous physical expense - for a cafe that offers non-frozen, hand-cut chips in the area but have sadly drawn a blank.


Does anyone know of anywhere that offers this simple delight? (Will travel)



Pat

Dear Pat


It has been gone for ages the Blue BC


Where have you been all this time ?


Mind you, when you find a nice fat hand cut chip, do let me know


Meanwhile, I make a very nice chip here at Curtain Towers


And next time i'm (double) frying, i'll think of you

I'm with you there


They're strangely cardboardy, but the mushy peas & fish are good


The one near the Herne are quite nice too

Hi all,


Yes, the chippy-with-seating is often the last refuge for the chip-lover searching for a breakfast.


I have tried the Sea Cow and agree the chips are not up to scratch - very disappointing for an otherwise fine establishment.


I have not tried the one on Northcross Rd and will try it out.


The problem I find though is that while chippy chips are often good, the kitchen does not offer egg and bacon to accompany them.


I'd be interested in hearing of any cafe in London that offers this simple delight!


Pat

You could always hot foot it to the chippy of your choice, then carefully protecting your cherished portion of chips run as fast as you can back to yours, put the chips in a pre-heated oven to keep warm, sling some bacon under the grill, fry an egg or two, serve it all on a warm plate and tuck in! Mmmmmmmm!

I went out with a girl who gutted chickens in a Littlehampton factory


She worked in a freezer room essentially


Ooooooh her hands were always cold & she had that fleshy meaty smell about her


Needless to say it didn't last & I moved on to the girl from the crispa-cress packers. Her odour was just fine btw



(they were lean days down there)

The seacow chips are fried in corn oil, quite horrible and the chips in underhill road are still vile half green warm

insulting exscuse for a fish and chip shop and a waste of money.

The best chip shop closed down years back by the police station run by the chinese family, dont know where they went

wish they,d come back,

The chip shop in North cross road cook theirs in nut oil,horrible

WANTED IN EAST DULWICH> A new fish and chip shop, that can cook traditional fish and chips, like you get down the seaside, Any new arrivals will be recieved.

The Chinese did not move away, still there.

The guy I think suffers a degenerative ailment and walks now with a stick, I see him regularly getting the bus. I think he does some kind of teaching/support for kids in Chinatown which, considering his condition, is quite a feat.

Nice guy. I generally found his chips to be soggy, but I was always a 10.30pm customer.

Some replies...


Yes! The Regency, off Horseferry Road, is exactly the type of establishment I mean. A classic British cafe that offers fresh, chip-shop chips. It's exactly one hour's walk from where I live, enough time to build up a hunger.


I would, as some have suggested, do my own home-chip-frying, but sometimes you just want someone to do it for you, while you have a good sit down and check the weather on your phone.


I have also, as suggested, dashed back from the chippy and hastily prepared the egg and b. at home. Can certainly do the trick, but you still have to do the washing up. My favourite chippy, FWIW, is the Herne Hill Fish Bar - http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/52/1588610/restaurant/Dulwich/Herne-Hill-Fish-Bar-London

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.

    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
