We have an adult birthday outing next week and looking for a place to have a nice meal but where kids (7 and 3) will enjoy themselves too. Not a cafe but not anywhere with posh glasses to knock over either! Walking distance around East Dulwich. Is there a decent Italian? Or anyone been to the Great Exhibition with kids?


We usually go to the Plough as there is a nice outdoor space for kids - but the food is really just chips etc. Hoping for something a little special?

I second Rocca. Lovely inside, reasonably priced. Really child friendly - my mum and dad take my children there every week for ice cream and are so familiar with the waiter he has been giving advice on primary schools!


Food is very fresh and tasty too

I cried when I saw the new Menu. My favourite Eating /water hole now has nothing for me. I am a veggy and don't like Goats Cheese. There's a lot of us who don't like it. And 1 option for veggies is like a little concession? So If I want to eat out two days running I have eat the SAME thing? Very Sad Day. I know a lot of you on here hate veggies - so you have a laugh I expect you are also the ones who say we shouldn't celebrate the mis-fortune of others when her name is /thatcher. Oh and The Sunday Roast - Veggie Dish? The Same Goats Cheese Flan!

We tried Rocca in the end and it was great. Thanks for the recommendation. Excellent food at decent prices, and friendly waiting staff. Sure it will become a family favourite.


would like to try Hisar though as that sounds good - where is it?

On ll same side as the hospice shops, down towards gg roundabout


We find them quite tolerant at quiet times

Can get hummous and pitta as soon as you sit down which is a boon

Sharing several meze keeps everyone happy and mr f gets grilled meat - I am a veggy but like lots of little dishes like cacik, grilled halloumi, borek

      The newly landscaped Dulwich Square

      By tiddles · Posted

      I had no idea about the sourcing of the paving stones - where is the info on this? The extension of the paved area seems completely unjustified- plus, there is a cycle lane right thru the middle so there are bound to be some near misses with pedestrians.

      That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this?

      To the thief

      By Sue · Posted

      I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?

      The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside
