@theflying_pig

[Alex K]

What what? SJ, you're teasing us. More info soon, please.

[Peckhamrye]

That's all it says on their Twitter feed.

They had a stall at goose green fair and said it would be very close to there. So that parade of shops is where I would anticipate

[StraferJack]

And I've just seen a thread about locale closing. So... Y'know...

[Cora]

Sounds exciting!

[fishbiscuits]

Really can't wait for this. Maybe then I won't have to resort to such extreme measures for my fix of BBQ meat...

They told me their new premises were on the corner of Goose Green. It's just been announced that Locale is closing. Do I win the Sherlock award? ;-)

[Jeremy]

I think you win the "not reading previous posts properly" award.

[Alex K]

Fishbiscuits, PM me before you do this again. And put twice as much pork shoulder in the smoker. I'll be there. Should I bring chips?

Wow. Looks great there Fishbiscuits....I'm impressed. Nice blog too.

[fishbiscuits]

Thanks awfully... but I'll be a very happy man if Flying Pig put my home grown efforts to shame!

[The Flying Pig]

Hello ED forum!

Hope you're all well and good!

I've been hearing a lot of gossip and hearsay locally and would like to give you all the opportunity to ask me (Mark) the General Manager of The Flying Pig any questions that you might have or if you would just like to know more about the project.

So please feel free to ask!

[The Flying Pig]

Not sure about putting them on the tables but we will have them readily available, along with baby wipes.

[fishbiscuits]

Hey Mark - best of luck with the restaurant. What's on the menu? Brisket? Ribs? How about beef ribs? Will you be doing American-stlye "biscuits" or cornbread, by any chance?

What desserts? Hopefully something rich and sickly.

How about the beers? What are you planning to have on tap? Are you planning to have a mixture of regulars and specials?

How many covers?

[The Flying Pig]

Thanks Fishbiscuits! I love a good Q&A session!

YEP ribs (pork and beef), beef & chicken burgers, steaks, cornbread, waffles, buffalo wings, brisket, etc... but we're not all about barbecuing meats. we'll have a great selection of freshly made salads and veggie dishes with other interesting dishes that should mean we have something for everyone. I've been tasting a lot of them recently and can honestly say everyone in East Dulwich is in for a proper treat. We have a very passionate and talent chef on board.

Desserts YES! I'll need to speak to chef about these.

Beer - We'll have 12 keg and 6 cask, most of these will change frequently. We will have some regulars but that's up to the ED crowd to decide. If you guys drink more of something then we'll keep it on. we're really aiming for a good local pub vibe and to keep you guys well fed and watered. Expect lots of interesting beers.

Still deciding on total number of tables but we'll make sure it feels like a pub and not a restaurant.

[bloonoo]

When do you open?

[The Flying Pig]

Bloonoo - As soon as we can! builder are in and working hard. Have a lot to do and should have a better idea in a few weeks. End of July is what we're aiming for.

[fishbiscuits]

Pub vibe sounds great. Salads... meh... still you're running a business I guess!

Would love to see some really dirty and indulgent American-style desserts like pecan pie, pumpkin pie... even deep fried ice cream. Still, maybe that's just me.

[Peckhamrye]

Oh yes, all sounds great! May even bring back some happy memories of when Meatwagon were at The Rye...definitely looking forward to the 'pub not restaurant' feel. Welcome!

@peckhamryeeats

[KidKruger]

and Succotash (sp.) had it with BBQs / fried chicken in the Carolinas, wow.

[AlexC]

Collared greens please :)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

We have collared doves - would they do?

Hello Mark - please may I have a free meal for two?

[simonethebeaver]

Another plea for biscuits here.

Although not sure I'll be allowed in... I've read you may not be very child friendly. In the evenings I can understand, but will you be banning kids entirely or will you let the odd one in during the day so people like me can try your food?

[Jason]

Our office is just round the corner on Gowlett Road. We cannot wait. We drive every Friday lunchtime to Brixton at the moment for BBQ
