You can try the Rosendale in West Dulwich, less crowded than the Dog (C & G). One of the best places us the Barbur in Honour Oak, it will cost an arm and a leg and I expect the marquee is still up. Sparsh in Forest Hill is wonderful but small with no outside but worth it when weather gets cooler.


Kartuli on LL us in my list of places to try. East Dulwich Tavern is good value

My partner, niece and I had an absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch at Franklins the weekend before last.


https://www.franklinsrestaurant.com/


She had roast beef and we had a cauliflower dish that sounds a bit boring but had me practically licking the plate it was so delicious.


Hers was so much she couldn't finish it (and she is a hearty eater).


We also had an absolutely excellent dessert between the three of us.


I know this sounds a bit over the top, but I really can't recommend it highly enough.


It wasn't cheap (housewarming celebration for my niece who has just moved to a house share in London) but it was honestly worth every penny.


We had a nice bottle of wine as well, and the service was excellent.


We sat in the front bar, which has a nice atmosphere, but there is a proper restaurant area at the back, plus tables on the pavement outside.


ETA: The worst Sunday lunch I have ever had in my life was at the Crown and Greyhound.


In fact it was one of the worst meals I have ever had in my life🙄

Now I am intrigued - did Paul find somewhere good? Is he still in the area - does he have any recommendations 16 years on!!! ;-)


P.S. A nice walk up Greendale followed by Sunday lunch at the Crooked Well - in case anyone cared for my today recommendation! ;-)

And the throwback one would have been the Bishop when Scott owned it!

According to the above timings, they suggest I (inadvertently) did, as the gap from 2006 to now is broken (apparently) by me.


But I'm sure I saw it appear as a new thread which I was responding to. There's no way I'd go back to 2006 (before I even moved here).


Admin - perhaps something wrong with site which is causing things like this to reappear and seem new?

Curiously the second worst meal I've ever had in my life was at Franklins - bones in the raw rabbit terrine, frozen steak reheated and instant coffee (worst ever was at Chez Bruce!).....

I think by slating both Franklins and Chez Bruce in a single sentence you have demonstrated that your view on restaurants should be treated with real caution. Unless, of course this was a (well-disguised) comedy message. In any event I am sure Tim, Rod and the team will be delighted to be ranked over Chez Bruce!

All restaurants have off days - I've had excellent and terrible meals at Le Gavroche, last week I was served raw pork at a world famous restaurant in Provence.

To go back on topic, my favourite Sunday lunch is Manuel's at Gipsy Hill

      GALA 2025

      By fishboy · Posted

      So here we go again, but with a proposal for a bigger and longer event. This despite the massive failings (again) last year with serious & long lasting damage to our park throughout the summer, lack of effective waste management, widespread public nuisance by the attendees, and of course the noise. Every year GALA are set conditions for their event licence, every year they fail to meet them, then every year they are granted a licence again - depressing. First impressions from the site plan - the proposed footprint has increased dramatically, sprawling further down & across our park (image attached with 2024 footprint in orange & 2025 extension in red). There  will be a music stage within 50m of our front room. The entrance area will be on a sports pitch. The trackway for heavy plant access will be across two sports fields. The entrance / exit for heavy plant will be opposite a school. The road at that point is regularly gridlocked due to parked & waiting cars. Increased trackway = increased damage to grass. I'm sure there's plenty more that is unacceptable... It's clear that we all need to comment on this consultation, but it's not clear how to actually add comments / participate. The email & consultation document both direct you to the GALA page on the council website - www.southwark.gov.uk/Gala2025 - but this only has details of the GALA PR sessions, not the official consultation. I've raised this with the council, I'll post if I get a response. I've also raised the issue that the council's Outdoor Event Policy states that "Applications for major events must be submitted a minimum of nine months prior to the event start date.", which would have been August 29th 2024 for this application. This is apparently necessary to give sufficient time for things like consultations...

      I'm sorry to see another chain opening up in the form of Holland and Barratt a couple of doors up from SMBS.  That will be another unfair pressure on SMBS .  I really hope people continue to support SMBS and its relative shop The Cheese Block under huge pressure with the arrival of Mons and Bora.  These are two of the oldest surviving (30 years plus?) green grocers, deli and unusual ingredient food shops in Lordship Lane and made it an interesting high street long before the chains and  newbies moved in.  I would think Healthmatters is none too happy either 😕 Support your local independent store or Lordship Lane will get really dull
