You can try the Rosendale in West Dulwich, less crowded than the Dog (C & G). One of the best places us the Barbur in Honour Oak, it will cost an arm and a leg and I expect the marquee is still up. Sparsh in Forest Hill is wonderful but small with no outside but worth it when weather gets cooler.


Kartuli on LL us in my list of places to try. East Dulwich Tavern is good value

My partner, niece and I had an absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch at Franklins the weekend before last.


https://www.franklinsrestaurant.com/


She had roast beef and we had a cauliflower dish that sounds a bit boring but had me practically licking the plate it was so delicious.


Hers was so much she couldn't finish it (and she is a hearty eater).


We also had an absolutely excellent dessert between the three of us.


I know this sounds a bit over the top, but I really can't recommend it highly enough.


It wasn't cheap (housewarming celebration for my niece who has just moved to a house share in London) but it was honestly worth every penny.


We had a nice bottle of wine as well, and the service was excellent.


We sat in the front bar, which has a nice atmosphere, but there is a proper restaurant area at the back, plus tables on the pavement outside.


ETA: The worst Sunday lunch I have ever had in my life was at the Crown and Greyhound.


In fact it was one of the worst meals I have ever had in my life🙄

Now I am intrigued - did Paul find somewhere good? Is he still in the area - does he have any recommendations 16 years on!!! ;-)


P.S. A nice walk up Greendale followed by Sunday lunch at the Crooked Well - in case anyone cared for my today recommendation! ;-)

And the throwback one would have been the Bishop when Scott owned it!

I have only just noticed that the original post was from 2006, so the Sunday lunch get together for ten people was SIXTEEN YEARS AGO 🤣


How (and why?) has somebody resurrected a sixteen year old post?!

 

Oh Wow!!!

Its amazing to think the forum has been going since 2006 and we still have threads in the database from back then! Before Facebook, Twitter... anything you take for granted today.


Long may it live.

According to the above timings, they suggest I (inadvertently) did, as the gap from 2006 to now is broken (apparently) by me.


But I'm sure I saw it appear as a new thread which I was responding to. There's no way I'd go back to 2006 (before I even moved here).


Admin - perhaps something wrong with site which is causing things like this to reappear and seem new?

Curiously the second worst meal I've ever had in my life was at Franklins - bones in the raw rabbit terrine, frozen steak reheated and instant coffee (worst ever was at Chez Bruce!).....

I think by slating both Franklins and Chez Bruce in a single sentence you have demonstrated that your view on restaurants should be treated with real caution. Unless, of course this was a (well-disguised) comedy message. In any event I am sure Tim, Rod and the team will be delighted to be ranked over Chez Bruce!

All restaurants have off days - I've had excellent and terrible meals at Le Gavroche, last week I was served raw pork at a world famous restaurant in Provence.

To go back on topic, my favourite Sunday lunch is Manuel's at Gipsy Hill

      Recommendation for Phil – FourPawsDoors – Cat Flap Fitter

      By cat woman · Posted

      I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010

      Traffic shaking the gaff!

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.

      Half Moon Montessori Nursery: amazing! opposite Judith Kerr

      By Yorkie123 · Posted

      Another recommendation for Half Moon- my youngest daughter attended and it was by far the best nursery we’ve ever experienced. The teachers are just wonderful and they care so much for the children (who, in return, love them to bits). There’s also a very low staff turnover, so there’s real stability and continuity for the children. My daughter left each day so happy and proud to show me what she’d learnt. It’s amazing!

      Did you take the car number? Otherwise the council wil have to look through it for an address.
