For the ultimate lunch you could walk over to gaucho in more london place.

There are quite a few chains around there too like strada, amano, dim t.

Brew wharf is a nice atmosphere. ROast is nice but a lot more expensive!

There are of course plenty of stalls selling hot food but I assume you want a sit down meal?

Is this a special lunch or just fancy eating in the area? Roast & Brindisa & El Vergel all good options depending on what you are doing. There is a place called Champoh Champoh hidden in the roads by Guys but think it smore of an evening thing.


Steer clear of The Garrison on Bermondsey street - great setting but at Palmerston prices and half the quality you'll feel like you've been worked deep.


The Garrison's other eatery further down Bermondsey street is not so bad - East Village for burgers etc...

The Garrison's food is fantastic! Infinitely better than any other gastropub I've been to in London (although I've never tried the apparently great Anchor & Hope in Waterloo. You must have been there on an unusual off day.

Sorry pepsi, but I agree with bejaminty - the Garrison is overpriced and of average quality.


And aside from yourself, I've always found the other customers to be....errr....rather keen on nipping to the gents between courses. Wallies, in other words.

Sorry but I just don't believe that... or you've been to some bad pubs?


Don't get me wrong it's a great setting but I don't think their produce, their ability to cook, their menu options are even close to being worthy of the cost. I've met the owner once or twice in one of his other establishments and I think he's a bit blinkered and believes his own hype... if there was more choice down that street he'd soon find his profits falling. I think the lack of options around there is hoodwinking the Bermondsey street massive. I'm still living in Borough and havent been back there... Brindisa, Anchor n Hope, El Vergel or even a little mission to Il Bordello are all great but sorry not the Garrison.

I'm a Garrison fan I have to say. I once had a starter of haggis spinach and poached egg followed by duck that was one of the best meals I've ever had anywhere. Sure it's a little expensive but not out of this world - and it has a nice ambience. Well no wallies when I was there. Plenty have said the same about The Palmerston but then I've always rated that highly too...make of that what you will!

Can I also offer the Roebuck into the mix on Dover street? Very very basic menu but all done very well for the money. Apple crumble and custard bordering on "amazing". (Poetry slam nights are good on a Thursday)

I went through a stage of resenting the Palmerston for not being value for money and infact my sister won't eat there at all after she had iffy experience a year or so back but Palmerston has pulled it's finger out. Went there last week and sister now hooked again. Contentious but perhaps the best steak on Lordship?


I'm off to book a table at Roast now .... I've still never been! Silly man!




edited to correct Pottery Slam to Poetry Slam .... sounded dangerous and didnt wanna put anyone off

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
