They had the best range of breakfasts around- Kedgeree, Kippers, All the usual Eggs with Hollandaise offerings, omelettes, Mediterranean brekkies, Mexican breakfast etc etc. But also some peculiar practices (a hash brown and grilled tomato accompanying an Eggs Royale. Lose them both, no-one wants them and knock 50p off the price).


Also, and i've mentioned before, they filled old HP and Heinz Ketchup bottles with dirt cheap sauces. Only the greasiest of greasy spoons can get away with that old trick. Cheap and nasty tactics.


But, they were always busy at weekend brunchtimes and one girl in particular made a very good coffee too.

That's worse than calling yourself 'A Fabulous Little Place'.

They seem to have changed the sign now to remove that part.


I agree, that was the way I read it as well, that that was to be the name of the place - "Something Wonderful" or words to that effect.

I've posted it in 'ED businesses...' etc. but for those who don't trawl (I said trawl) the forum fully I just wanted to mention that the Butcher's Shop opposite the Plough is closing tomorrow (Sat 10th June) so regular customers might want to drop by to wish him well (he's off to Bromley).


Still plenty in the shop (though he's been running down the stock prior to move) so you have until 5pm tomorrow.

We went to Made of Dough last nite on Bellenden Road. The place was Beautiful (failed) Pizza Boy previously,


Jolly fun it was too, all lively and just how a lively new Peckham pizza place should be


Good music and drinks, and nice guys that actually own and run it, running it and 'owning' it too.


The pizzas were hot and round and tasty, just like pizza should be.


The drinks were wet and drinky like.


It's nice !

Back to the 'Duck egg' unsurprised its closed went there once it was awful.

Went back to give them a second chance (any buisiness can have an off day-and though I won't condone it in a large chain or expensive place I tend to give local buisiness the benefit of the doubt)

Was again awful with grim cheap cheap cheap sauces.

That really is a shame... for about a year after having our daughter, that was probably the most useful shop in Peckham. Especially as the large Mothercare on Old Kent Rd is also closed now.

Look forward to trying it.. I notice that the Pedler team were describing BPB as a "pop-up" which had come to an end, but the truth is that it really wasn't very good. Pizzas with sloppy centres and thin watery sauce. Sounds like the new guys have got it right. (I like Pizza Pickup too, and makes a change from the ubiquitous sourdough base)

So having lost the branch on the Old Kentr Road about 18 months ago, we now lose the Peckham branch, bad news for people in and around Peckham, nearest other branches are now either Brixton or Lewisham.

Hi everyone - just wanted to introduce myself - I'm Angus the owner of Firefly which some of you will have noticed is a new shop at 325 Underhill Road.


After a lot of planning I'm very proud to announce that we are now officially open for business!


We are selling wood burning stoves and a variety of BBQs, pizza ovens, fire pits and all the ancillary items such as kiln dried logs, high quality charcoal as well as candles, books, lighting, accessories and more.


I'm an ED local and I love fire, for heating and for cooking on. The whole ethos of Firefly will be on service and consultation so I'm more than happy to advise on what might work best for you. For example will you use the amazing Kamado Joe ceramic BBQ/Oven or the exclusive Kudu Braai which arrived today and for which we are the sole UK retail outlet.


I hope you get the chance to pop into our shop for a browse and a quick chat. We are less than 5 mins walk from Lordship Lane or Northcross Road market.


Alternatively please feel free to post or private message me on here with any queries and I promise to get back to you asap. Our website is under construction and will go live very soon.


I'm attaching a couple of photos here of our latest arrivals and we have some great charcoal if you're BBQing up a feast for friends and family this weekend.


We hope to be of service to you soon, and enjoy the sunshine!


Angus and the Firefly team.

      Lost Cat On North Cross Road?

      By joseph holly · Posted

      We went to look for the cat again this evening. There was no sign of it. Can other people also look out for it too? Please contact Cats Protection, Stray Cat Club or Celia Hammond (as mentioned in the posts above) if you see it.

      So do I (love a pound land) and wouldn’t want it to close but as it’s such a new store it does need to be an enjoyable experience.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By Castleton · Posted

      Recently I completed a pre-diabetes awareness course. Run by an outside agency at huge cost I expect, but I digress. After the course we are all expected to arrange our own blood tests.  When I requested from TJ I was initially treated with suspicion, i.e where did you get the pre-d course from! I explained it was from TJ and they refused to book on the phone, told me to use ASK MY GP link.  I explained this wasn't working for me, but no appointment was arranged. Eventually got ASK MY GP working, and requested bloods. About 8 days later I received a text link to book one. It took me every day of checking for 5 days before any appointments were available and then the earliest was a month away. Fine. Late Feb booked Got a phone call from the surgery yesterday, responding to the ASK MY GP request! Sorry? I'm confused, it's booked! (effectively after saying they won't book over the phone, this was literally what was happening) I then get a missed call from them, return the call and they say they have no idea why I was called.  Literally 5 minutes later someone calls again, my original booking can't ne honoured because it's too late in the day. Bear in mind this was FROM THEIR DROP DOWN MENU. I'm then expected to go online and book again! Beggars belief
