Eats Dulwich Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Hi, I hope this is of interest, I've launched a new substack reviewing restaurants in SE22. In case you don't know, a substack is like a blog. At the moment the page is free to subscribers and hopefully as it grows there will be exclusive offers and meal deals. It is completely independent, all meals are paid for and establishments visited anonymously. Please read the reviews and if you enjoy them or find them useful please subscribe and share. The link is here: https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/ Edited January 25 by Eats Dulwich 1 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356846-new-local-restaurant-reviews-website/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though everyone is welcome to pay if they want!

jazzer Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Jenijenjen -its nothing to do with being grumpy, its expecting people to use the language the way it is intended to be used and not use words incorrectly. calling someone grumpy on a local forum, you may find amusing, I find it demonstrates your arrogance and rudeness.

Eats Dulwich Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Hi everyone who has subscribed to Eats Dulwich. The response has been overwhelming. However, I've realised I made a rookie error when I set up the new page. I didn't have the paid subscriber button turned on! While the reviews are free to read, a few paid subscribers will help me to make the page better - write more, travel a bit beyond SE22 and also set up exclusive offers and meal deals. Subscriptions start at only £5 a month and you can cancel at any time. If you can upgrade to paid that would be great. But no obligation of course. Any support is really appreciated.

malumbu Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Ah, glad you have admitted that this is a business, first thing that came to mind. I wont be subscribing. Happy to provide free advice on where to eat! Should this not be in the classified section? 1 2 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356846-new-local-restaurant-reviews-website/#findComment-1695362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
alice Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 ‘Admitted’. The forum is not a courtroom. 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356846-new-local-restaurant-reviews-website/#findComment-1695370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
malumbu Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Admin can decide. But if a business is touting their products then the person running this may wish to get a cut. I find it strange that a community web site where issues like dog poo and local surgeries should be subject to guerilla/ambush marketing. You don't need to share this view. 2 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356846-new-local-restaurant-reviews-website/#findComment-1695386 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbg212 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Good on you for doing something rather than some who would prefer to complain about what others are doing. Enjoyed the read and look forward to seeing more of the meals from the area. There's are some great substack newsletters out there for local news and exploration. Love to see it. 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356846-new-local-restaurant-reviews-website/#findComment-1695405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
