peterborg Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I love Sorsi and Morsi. An independent restaurant with great food. Isnt Franca Manca now part of a chain owned by the guy who ran Pizza Express?

Draft1 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 yes it's true, we got a great offer from Franco Manca and have sadly decided to pack our bags. We've loved being on the Lane and will miss you all. Please come down and say goodbye on Sunday when all drinks will be 25% off. We're opening a few new sites next year so watch this space!

Sue Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 So Lordship Lane will now have two Italian restaurants within a few metres of each other?? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/38700-draft-house-closing/#findComment-698411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxi Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Gutted... the only pub on the lane I really liked. FM does look good though - if they do the whole sour-dough & wood-fired oven thing at their current prices. If LL can sustain 7 or 8 curry houses within walking distance of each other a couple or three pizza places should be fine.

BrandNewGuy Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Ah the bane of modern eateries - queuing. Every pulled pork and pop-up loves the idea of a big line of people outside. Nowehere's anywhere until you have to wait 45 minutes to be fed. Me, I'd rather book, walk in, sit down and eat. If you're good enough to make amazing food, you're good enough to pick up a phone and take bokings.

Mick Mac Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I don't think it's a laziness issue BNG, bookings can result in tables being empty and can be an inefficient way to manage the amount of people wanting to use your restaurant.

BrandNewGuy Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Well inconveniencing customers for the sake of a few more quid is a judgment restaurants need to make, like any other business.

Nunhead Neil Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Franco Manca - they have track record in making the best use of more challenging space so this should be a very fine addition to the street. Great pizza and good vibes .... join the queue. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/38700-draft-house-closing/#findComment-698816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falklands Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Franco manca brixton pizzas are the best you can get and their prices haven't changed in 3 /4 years . About ?4 to ?7 - hope they keep them for ED. .....that's why there is a queue ! If you want reservations, chocolate fudge cake, fine dining,?50 a head meals with jay rayner and AA Gill type meals you shouldn't t go to franco manca . It's a pizzeria ...that's it ..

jimbo1964 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Franco Manca is great. But I think my loyalty will stay with Il Mirto. Hopefully there's room for everyone.
