Nick Weston - ex-owner of Dulwich Brasserie, Spaghetti Western - where is he?

This is my first post on the forum...have been reading for a while and thought it was time I joined up.


Now that we've got GBK here to stay, does anyone know what's happened to the previous owner, Nick Weston? Last I saw of him he was cruising down L Lane in a posh convertible. He was a bit of a character, old Nick - I remember when that place was Spaghetti Western. He changed it to Westons, then Dulwich Brasserie. The customers gradually dwindled - how many times did you walk past and see DB closed? Must have done well from the sale though.

The property still belongs to him. He just sold the shop to gbk and refurbed/built flats. Hes a nice guy.Westons didnt work i think cos it needed personality and originality. Not saying he didnt have it but looked like he left it to staff to run. :o))

the farce that was spaghetti western,went to it 3 times and every time i got wrong drinks,wrong food,cold food,rubbery pasta.on my last occasion i actually left after waiting 45mins for a starter to arrive,when i complained i was told it was because it was being cooked fresh, when i pointed out that i was getting a green salad,the waitress just walked off as did i,still owe them for the drinks.

Nick is still about, he is now driving that mercedes convertible about, quite a difference to that clapped out white fiesta!


He's having work done on the flats above Gourmet Burger. He rents the ground floor to Gourmet Burger for ?40k a year!!!!


He had some bad luck with the builders though- i think the original "head builder" ran off with thousands of ?s and didnt pay the contractors who ended up trashing the place blaming Nick for it.


Nicks quite nice bloke though

BBC, Sky News, Financial Times on this topic since at least 2008 and also a discussion in a House of Commons Parliamentary Select Committee    The original post is very clear and precise in requesting advice and people’s experience of the act of the misreporting of crime and also collusion in this act by the agencies and democratically elected representatives who are supposed to represent the interests of their communities.  It is not about the criminal act itself.   Met Police misreports intimate searches of children https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-65700511 Sky News: One in Five of All Crimes not Recorded by the Police https://news.sky.com/story/one-in-five-of-all-crimes-not-recorded-by-police-10382167 Financial Times: Serious crime misreported by police https://www.ft.com/content/9ee810ce-a0f1-11dd-82fd-000077b07658   https://hmicfrs.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/news/news-feed/victims-let-down-by-poor-crime-recording/ House of Commons, Commons Select Committee, Public Administration  Caught red-handed: Why we can't count on Police Recorded Crime statistics - Public Administration Committee https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmselect/cmpubadm/760/76007.htm
    • Thanks for this, looking further I think you're right, hub and library are separate entities though if anyone else thinks different do correct. Not really sure what Hub does though it seems they're upset they'll no longer be able to open a cafe. 
    • Sorry if I’m misreading this but isn’t the hub a separate entity that runs inside the library? They’re responsible for the hiring of rooms for parties etc and run local activities. So is it the hub that’s closing in December while the library itself will continue to run?  Or is the building itself going to close?
