I used to love Green and Blue, but the past couple of times we've been in it hasn't been up to scratch. Since the Clapham one has opened it seems as though the owner isn't around as much (which is understandable), and the service has gone downhill.


We used to be able to ask for recommendations for a bottle of wine, specifying type and budget and get some fantastic recommendations and info on the wine and drink it in lovely surroundings. Last time we went the staff could only talk about the bottles on the 'by the glass list' and didn't seem to have as much knowledge. Also on the previous couple of occasions the service has been generally a bit hopeless. The girl with long red-ish hair never writes anything down, but then forgets everything. The first time you think its a one off, but then it quickly becommes annoying. Add to that the fact that she short changed us and then when we pointed this out practically threw change at us.


Overall I think its a real shame as I'm now reluctant to go back. I want this place to suceeed and like it in principle, but don't want to pay for hopeless and rude service.

it's an old thread I know, but searching for green and blue gave me this or the "blue and green book club" thread so this one it is


Having long been intersted in the Luddite wine on sale in G&B (and who wouldn't be reading it's description)


Luddite Wine - Scary, no?


I finally got around to giving this one a good old go - and very very nice it was too. But far far less scary than that description sounds, which I'm not sure is a good thing or a bad thing. But in any case, Recommended to Shiraz lovers

I love Shiraz, which reminds me, had a lovely one in the mag a couple of weeks ago. Think it was the second cheapest on the reds list, but everyone in our party of about 10 commented that it was very very drinkable... Which could be why the bill was well over 300 quid in the end ;-)

But their menu isn't exactly extensive to start with, is it?

    • We like Radha Krishna Bavan, a South Indian restaurant near Tooting Broadway station, but sadly they don't deliver. They have really good lunch deals and the food has been excellent without fail so far, plus too much to eat (doggy bags willingly provided by the lovely staff!) Probably wouldn't make a special journey to go there, but go there quite often for lunch when visiting my niece, who lives in Tooting. Can't remember if they do dosas, though 
    • Yep,  the EU would definitely want cast-iron certainties that there was no chance of Brexit 2.0 before allowing the UK to rejoin. Best we can hope for in the short to medium term  is the UK rejoins the single market. That would at least make Brexit work *better* than it currently does.  But we live in a very volatile world and a lot can happen quickly, who'd thought we be rationally talking about the possibility of  a European Army outside the context of Brexit and its associated hysterics...
    • What I couldn't understand was on the day H&B  opened (or at least the Saturday after it) they had two people standing outside with trays of something round their necks, as if they were selling ice cream at the interval in a 1950s cinema. These things appeared to be free samples of something (can't remember what. Magnesium tablets? From the labels on the little jars?)  There was nothing to say they were free, nothing to say what they might be useful for, and no apparent attempt to engage passers by, or even to hand them out to passers by.  What was the point?! It had the opposite effect on me, as they looked so bored and fed up  We did have a wander round the shop, but the only thing they had which I might have bought ( a particular kind of milled seed which Health Matters don't stock)   I can get cheaper in Waitrose !!! ETA: I only buy their nuts when they are on offer (and freeze them) 🤣
    • If you are referring to me you don't have to pay to read my reviews and I'm not even sure if you have to sign up. If that feels too sinister you can just click on the links as far as I know, but the difference is if you sign up you receive the - free - reviews by email whenever they appear. Quite a useful - free - service I think. I'm not going to spam the EDF every time I run a review, but here's a link to the site as I've run a few new reviews in the last few weeks. https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/
