Maybe prices depend on catch of the day or maybe they haven?t been decided yet . also you find a few restaurants that have example menus online with no prices as this reduces the need for website updates which if outsourced can be an added cost


either way am sure they will actually be mentioned on their menu in the restaurant


All that said I?m excited for a local shop to be expanding and offering something different for lordship lane so let?s focus on that instead

That?s a really good looking menu, but in my view they?ve got the whole balance of small plate/large plate wrong. It?s basically a small plate menu with options to spend a lot of money on some sharing stuff.


There may be a good reason for it, but it just looks odd to me. Anyway, I?m sure it?ll be successful. The prices are what I?d expect for that kind of repertoire; good fish isn?t cheap, especially the stuff on that menu.

AS you say it does look a bit unbalanced. But there is also the option of the "whole roast fish to share" on the blackboard so doesn't give the whole picture.


Anyway, I wish them well.

I think it looks perfectly balanced. I love small plates, it allows me to try new things without risking ordering a huge pile of something I don't like; with a friend or two I'd happily start at the top and work my way down, sharing every small plate on the menu. I hope they don't change it.

Haha - yes



The blackboard is the key to the menu I expect - that's where the main dish fish likely will be reflected, and as it will change regularly it wont be on printed menu.


You cant talk of the balance of the menu until you have seen the whole picture. There could be one dish or ten on the blackboard. Who knows.

I doubt it, I wouldn?t. I don?t imagine they care what I think or what you think for that matter.


(But I?ll be sure to PM you next time I have an opinion and you can tell me whether or not I should post it.)

I wonder whether the 'tapas style' of eating is a wave that has passed. I note that Barcelona, at the south end of LL before it becomes London Road, has closed - apparently permanently. Which I personally find a shame, although its menu (frequently modified) was still getting 'stale' - despite the quality of the cooking.


It would be interesting to know the research that Moxon's undertook before launching this menu - it looks interesting, certainly, although clearly the proof will be in the delivery. How well done is it, just how small are the small plates?


It must come in with a record breaking price for a main, at least locally, at ?75. You can buy a good large cooked and split lobster from Soper's at well under ?30.

It's not really a main, it's a seafood platter including a whole lobster. I'd expect it to be plenty for two people, maybe with one or two sides.

How is asking prices anything other than sensible? Why would I book and go to a restaurant to get there and find that I can't afford it?


I'm delighted for the folk who don't have to worry about prices but we're not all in a financial position to not care and a bit of acknowledgement that some people are not so comfortably off would at least go some way to making you look less like arrogant a-holes.

I love seafood, and the menu looks resonanly balanced to me. I would be more comfortable with a few small plates and a glass of wine anyway. If I?m not stuffed after that, a cheeseboard would help.


I?m historically not a fan of Moxon?s per se, I?ve always been a Sopers customer. However, this menu doesn?t look bad at all. I?d give it a go.


Louisa.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
