toastED

[Sue]

We went there for lunch on Saturday.

Absolutely loved everything about it, and the food was amongst the most delicious I've ever had locally.

The courgette salad with lemon and capers and a bit of parsley was very simple but the ingredients perfectly balanced.

We will definitely be back once we've saved up more pennies.

Would have spent less had we not succumbed to two glasses of (very good value) wine each :)

We eat out a lot less often than we used to, and I'd rather spend my money on one meal here than two cheaper ones at most places elsewhere in ED.

The service was absolutely excellent as well - friendly but not in-your-face friendly.

ETA: And we paid the service charge with pleasure, having first double-checked that it went to staff.

I'm hoping to have lunch at toastED today but when I go to the website and click on the lunch menu, I just get a .pdf with blocks of grey and no text. Anyone else have this problem? (I'm using a Mac). I emailed them and the address on the website isn't working. It'd just be nice to browse the menu before I go along.

They sometimes post them up on their twitter feed

Thanks Ladygooner but it's still got the grey blocks. Perhaps i need to update Adobe?

[StraferJack]

looks that way alex (not that Adobe are shy in telling you how often you should update)

Even if you can see other pdfs, it's always worth making sure you are up to date on that score

[alex]

good advice - thanks StraferJack

They seem to have removed the Lincolnshire Poacher cheese from the potato, leek and walnut dish?

My OH had this on Saturday and it was absolutely delicious, with a runny cheesy sauce.

If only our table hadn't been in full view I would have licked the plate :)

Tried to get in Friday night, without a reservation - no chance. Will get there eventually.

Think its a great additiona to LL though, even without having ever been to it. :)

I tried to go last night (Tuesday) without a reservation at about 7.30, nothing available till after 9, the place was heaving! Clearly the place to be in ED at the moment.

[DulwichFox]

Went passed last night..

Heaving.. Don't think I would like it much to be seated having a meal with dozens of people standing over me.

They had a tasting on last night that's why. I ate there lady night and it certainly redeemed itself in terms of service (despite being busy) and food. Excellent on both fronts. Imaginative menu and great wine list at all price points. would highly recommend it. Well done toasted for getting it right! Just what we need locally and a great buzz.

you could always go to the "derelict" car park in Peckham...;)

Went for the first time last night with the wife. It was packed - on a Wednesday! Glad we booked. We were both utterly impressed. Delicious, thought-provoking dishes. Excellent service. Really buzzy atmosphere. Good, affordable wine. We think that toastED precisely represents what ED needed in the way of a new eatery, and hope that it proves to be the catalyst for more, independent restaurants/restaurateurs to follow suit. Can't wait to return!

[edcam]

Went there night before last. Really great food, lovely wine and great service. It also has a nice atmosphere. A real winner I reckon!

How is this still in the 'General ED Issues' thread?

[Sue]

It isn't now ..... you jinxed it ......

Popped in this morning for a double espresso and toast just before 9 and it was quiet. Very good coffee, a small bottle of chilled water, which was replaced when empty, and toast made from lovely crusty bread. Selection of excellent conserves came in little glass containers. It came to ?5.51, which means it won't be a daily visit, but everything was good quality and the service was really friendly.

We visited for dinner last Saturday and it gets a definite 10 out of 10 from us. The food was great, service great and house wines delicious and very reasonably priced. Overall, not the cheapest meal out on Lordship Lane, but (imho) worth every penny. And we took some house rose home at ?5.95 a bottle ? great value and delicious. In fact we wanted to book for tomorrow night, but sad to say they are currently only open Tuesdays to Saturdays?.

Small review in Grazia magazine. I have taken a pic to attach but it's too big, sorry.

[MissWiggy]

I love this place. Even a simple breakfast of toast and coffee is great (and reasonable!).

Attached is the Grazia piece - sorry its the wrong way up!

Just wanted to add my vote of confidence for ToastED. Popped in last night and had amongst some of the best tasting food I've ever had on LL - yum! The house wine was delicious too & we left with a cheeky take home swing top bottle which I'll definitely be returning for a refill.

It also has a great atmosphere - full & buzzy but not too loud with a very mixed crowd. The service was fab too - attentive but relaxed.

I think it's a great addition to Lordship Lane.

I had my 40th there a few weeks back - they managed a split up group of 14 people, with multiple orders, repeat orders and loads of wine - food was simply divine, service was spot on! Highly recommended.
