toastED


Recommended Posts

After reading this post nearly 4 hours after it was posted - with nearly 300 people having viewed without a single comment being made it struck me that the post is far too positive. How dare you /


I will pop in at the weekend, I did look at the menu (prices) - I liked what I saw.

We went there tonight and between the four of us had most of the dishes on offer (plus red and white wine). The bill came to ?100 which I thought was reasonable (and which included a takeaway bottle of wine!). The staff was friendly and the food was imaginative and if high quality, esp. the pork was excellent!


We will definitely go back.

It's Lordship Lane. Otherwise known as 'The Lane' (not by me!)

We ate there last week and really enjoyed it. Only one criticism: the portions were nowhere near big enough. We are both averagely sized with average appetites but we both came away with the idea that it's great as long as you eat before you go.

Fantastic review by Fay Maschler, notoriously difficult to please. I am sure it will prove annoyingly impossible to get a table now. Love the idea of the wine tombola. Good luck to all involved and well done for putting our great ED on the map yet again.

I'm with you on this Cedges. A positive mention for Sea Cow is hardly a ringing endorsement for a new restaurant.

Oh Dear


A new and uniquely quirky restaurant/bar opens in ED, and the keepers of the Sacred Flame of Mediocrity want to stone the blasphemers.


I declare an interest. I've stopped by in Toasted for a glass of wine/beer/whiskey tonight and last night. Maybe I'm a bit unorthodox. But I found the selection of beverage beyond my narrow knowlege and amazing, the staff authentically friendly and if the morsel of cheese was anything to go by, the food promises to be unusual and enticing.


My insincere apologies to the East Kingdom of Dulwich Trolls. I hold that Toasted is, as my wife would say, bloomin' marvellous.

A few friends and I went on Tuesday eve early and it was getting busy at 6.30 so I'm glad we were there early - and good to see it so buzzy. We opted for the vat Rose, and like Maschler in her review tried all of the smaller dishes and sometimes twice. It was all superb and highly imaginative, and our waiter was engaging, friendly and very knowledgeable.


Our collective criticism if there has to be any is:


- Plate sizes a bit too big for tapas style dishes

- cost of very small dish, eg pea, egg, curd and toasted almonds @ ?6 we thought a little bit much. But it was delicious.

- we had to keep asking for more bread as the portions were so small


But that's it. I loved it and will continue to rave about it to others and I wish them all success...oh and the vat wine.....; )

I was also there on tuesday for the first time and thought it was excellent.


The selection of drinks is one of the best anywhere, great choice of beers and spirits as well as the wines.


The food was all delicious - i had the pea and egg dish and could have ordered it over asnd over again.


I will be going back frequently

I gather the chaps from Les Caves de Pyrenne are doing an 'Atlantic Spain' wine tasting thereon Tuesday, tickets still available, fifteen quid I believe, I reckon I might try and wangle a pass from La Piba for that one.

Breakfast today was good: avocado tasty for ?5. Bacon & egg nice, but overpriced at ?10 I think. Staff v friendly which is great. Coffee was good too & reasonably priced.


Room for improvement; It was really noisy even though not v busy, quite hard to talk/be heard at our table. Really weird, not sure why. Service pretty slow, getting menu, ordering & paying.

12.5% service charge on breakfast is a bit over the top (but friendly).


Loved the look of the Vats of wine & styling. Would def go back to try the evening meals.

    • More interested in the future than the past. 
    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
