New sushi bar

Recommended Posts

We had breakfast at Luca's this morning..excellent weekday morning deal, ?2.50 for beautiful scrambled egg on sourdough toast, ?5 for full english..home made beans and real sausages; Great value!

While there we were chatting to one of the always friendly staff to ask when they are closing and he informed us that they are now in fact STAYING.

Apparently the deal with the sushi bar fell through so Lucas are staying and expanding their bakery offer by the sound of it.

Despite being a huge Sushi fan I must confess I was chuffed with the news!

Gosh. A cynic might almost be tempted to say there was never any chance of Luca's closing; that it was a premeditated pr stunt designed to attract attention and positive 'Oh, no - we love it there!' comments to counteract accusations of rude, indolent service and also to boost dwindling customer numbers.


But of course it wasn't.


ETA: Wonder if news of the demise of EDD, who also sold a lot of tasty-but-overpriced artisan-type bread, has had a bearing on things?

So strange to me to hear so many comments of rude indolent service at Lucas, we go there for brunch most weekends, and i often pop in during the week and I kid you not..have ALWAYS found the staff charming and friendly.

I'm not associated with Lucas in any way so I'm not making it up...Dont get why we should find the service friendly and efficient and so many people bitch about it!

BTW is the East Dulwich Deli closing? About time...overpriced and Truly bad service!

    • Vispring, I'm not a poet so I don't have enough vocabulary to gush about it, best money I ever spent. Open your wallet, they say you spend a third of your life rafting on it (probably more these days with Netflix).
    • Ah wonderful, I'll pop in and see him One more day and then the fundraiser will close. Just £70 needed to get to £1,500. Thank you all for your generosity and support. Private messages have been lovely. 
    • Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next. 
    • IMO, Sealy, the best nights sleep you'll ever have.
