Pretty surprised about this - what happened to the no new fast food outlets within 400m of schools initiative?

I'm pretty confident Charter ED and Dog Kennel Hill Primary are well within 400m...

The fish and chip shop that was previously there sold terrible fish and chips - this is why it failed. Compare and contrast to Ken's on Half Moon Lane which has queues out of the door.


If Maxim chicken is anything to go by, the new place will have a steady stream of customers

sort of inevitable, given the price of F&C these days compared to fried chicken.

current situation will only make people poorer so fried chicken may become the new national dish - if its not already !

I think there was an article in Guardian yesterday about 'fried chicken mile' at Mile End, East London, obesity and related health issues later in life (heart, diabetes).

Given the amount of people complaining about the poor quality of fish and chips, despite the owner being lovely this is a must win.


I've noticed that when ever any kind of cafe / food shop opens, people always whinge. Someone opened a cafe specialising in brunch and the first comment was - don't be a trendy poached eggs style cafe etc...


Why not visit the stores and keep the economy going instead of whinging and moaning..

Good news for the economy/pigeons/foxes but not great for those who like to see little-free streets. Chicken boxes and soft-drink containers make up a sizeable bit of the litter I see (and sometimes pick up, if it?s safe to do so) and the combo of kids and fast food will likely make litter more visible. (Yes, most kids are not litter louts but some are and having a new fast-food outlet open will mean more rubbish on the streets.) Once again, the poorly paid street cleaner will be having to work harder for no extra money because I doubt the vendor will set up litter patrols within, say, a fifty yard radius.

Fried chicken is tasty (I accept that this is a matter of personal taste, but clearly enough people think so), quick to be served / to eat and incredibly cheap. It's not difficult to see why it is popular.


What really needs to be addressed is the poor farming methods. But it looks like the UK is moving towards even laxer standards post brexit, so kids are going to be getting fatter.

what makes you say that?


I know we have to be careful of the very poor standards of US food and how that might impact us, but am not aware of any drop in standards since Brexit.


In fact interested in post Brexit as it has been silent for a while. Is the UK in a better position (only) in that we don't have to bail out other EU countries post COVID?


It was such a hot topic and it's almost as if it's been forgotten.

      They always used to have at least one (relatively) low priced ale on. Don't know about lager. And to be fair, if you are running this kind of  business, and the local demographic has changed around you, you have to allow for that or your business is going to fail.

      Derelict Grove Tavern - who to contact?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Oh dear.  I've been there numerous times, it's hit and miss.  Generally OK so I wouldn't judge it on one occasion. Perhaps they aren't great at scaling up for sunny days.  The Woodhouse used to be like that when it was a great pub in the old days.  Sun would come out and families turn up, with no extra staff.  It's horrid now  You can order the Backyard pizza at the Castle and I expect they still have Van Dough at the Blythe; under Co you could also bring your chip supper into the garden.

      Sounds as expected and obviously firmly catering towards the middle classes who can afford to drop £80 on a meal for 2 with a round of drinks without breaking a sweat. I dont suppose they have an affordable lager for those who dont fit into the above group?  Do they have a pram/buggy park like they do at a creche? As that would come in handy im sure.  Its a shame because going back before covid it was still an affordable pub, mostly used by drinkers.

      Dulwich Park Lake bridge

      By Sue · Posted

      I wonder which part/s of the bridge are affected? Pathway or side barriers (don't know the proper terms, sorry). Or both? I think there was a thread on here before (but I can't remember the subject) which included a discussion about using a "man" made material which looks more or less identical to wood but is much longer lasting. I have seen it used on paths and bridges in places like  nature reserves. If I hadn't been told it wasn't wood, I would never have known. I wonder why something like that wasn't used in the first place? The bridge hasn't been there that long, has it? Surely whatever wood was used shouldn't be rotting already?  Happy memories with my grandkids when they were younger, on the bridge  feeding bird seed to the ducks (and other birds!)
