Sue, Was that you just ordering the tortas? Did you smell them? They had just come out of the oven, freshly baked. I was about to Instagram :P Hope you enjoyed ;)

Sue, it's basic wheat bread (with some olive oil and smoked paprika in there) Could not find the right bread for tortas, so we decided to bake ourselves - running out every day atm :P Just out of interest, why are you boycotting JustEat?

Thanks Sue! Try the tortas for a change, they're taking off. Mexican sandwich (see attached)

Turns out I was wrong on the assumption that it is somewhat of a "pilot project". These Deliveroo "Editions" kitchens are all over the place, there's even one in East Dulwich off Melbourne Grove. They do, however, have separate kitchens for each food brand and the kitchens are operated by the brands, not Deliveroo. They have two setups: 1) Individual self-contained container kitchens 2) Shared spaces for cold and dry storage and kitchen units for prep and cooking (see attached images) I've considered applying for "Editions", but I don't like the fact that I'd be tied to one platform - i.e. Deliveroo. There is also some controversy here, not because of the concept and the quality of the food, but because they are often sited in residential areas and neighbours often complain about the significant increase of motor scooter traffic in the area. Justifiably.

Yes and no, any restaurant brand can be included to be included in "Editions", it's essentially a curated selection. All the brands in the Deliveroo sites are included though. Afaik it's still a bit of a pilot project, Deliveroo has 2 sites. > They often take the name/branding of a > restaurant/takeaway chain, but the food is > actually prepared in one of these Deliveroo sites. Yes, they are prepared there, but the individual container kitchens aren't operated by Deliveroo, but the individual restaurant brands themselves. > They're often underwhelming and overpriced. Not saying it's necessarily good, but I don't see any reason why the satellite kitchens should be any worse than the main restaurants. There is of course a general quality decline with chains. > > Plenty of Deliveroo options still come from local > restaurants, but the company strategy does seem to > be to take charge of the whole chain. Not sure that is accurate. Deliveroo doesn't have any intention of getting into the catering business, they are a logistics company. The deliveroo sites are there to expand the geographical reach for the restaurant brands.

Take-away is changing and these days about 70% is delivery and from one of the main platforms (i.e. Deliveroo, UberEats and JustEat). There are quite a few different operators. Traditionally you have your high street restaurant or take-away, but since the growth of the delivery market you now also have these so-called "dark kitchens". Containers in car parks or domestic kitchens that have been converted to a professional standard (the latter is us). There is a market now to cater exclusively for delivery and this saves on expensive high street rents. Obviously these kitchens still have to live up to a commercial standard, be registered with the council, hygiene inspected, pest-controlled etc. Does this mean > that mean that when someone > orders a meal from a Restaurant, it is actually > prepared elsewhere in one of Deliveroo's own > kitchens. > and NOT from the restaurant ??? No. If it's a restaurant on Deliveroo or the other delivery platforms, the food comes from the restaurant. Deliveroo does own some container kitchens, but they are operated by the restaurant brands. They are satellite kitchens to increase the delivery radius for a restaurant. There's typically a 2 mile limit (sometimes less) for each location. Hope that clears things up ;) NB: "Dark Kitchen" is a bit of a misnomer and sensationalised. Our kitchen is bright and airy :D

It's a common gripe. Burritos contain both hot and cold ingredients. The rice, beans, meat etc are at 75C when added and I keep the burrito hot until the second the driver arrives, but by the time it gets to your door the cold pico de gallo, guacamole etc has often equalised the temperature inside. Not much I can do about that, I'm afraid. Glad you enjoyed though! :)

Hi all and Happy Holidays!, Some of you may remember my post from a few months looking for feedback on opening a Mexican kitchen in East Dulwich. I'm pleased to announce that we're now open as a delivery only kitchen (for now). You can find us on Deliveroo https://deliveroo.co.uk/menu/london/dulwich/la-nosheria-london There are obviously no reviews yet, but feel free to check out the reviews we received from our time in Lewisham https://www.facebook.com/pg/lanosheria/reviews/ We're open all weekend for lunch and dinner, including New Years Day. Feliz navidad y pr?spero a?o nuevo!! Delivering from Henslowe Road.

... and a couple more ;)

Hola amigos, We've recently made a name for ourselves in Lewisham as purveyors of authentic Mexican street food https://www.facebook.com/lanosheria/ Having lived in East Dulwich for 20 odd years I'd really like to start something closer to home, possibly as a branch, maybe relocate - we don't know yet. I'm looking for suggestions: Would you like to see good Mexican food locally? There are a few in Peckham, some of which deliver locally, what's your take? Do you have any suggestions for local popups or (preferably) residences in a pub or similar? Evening takeover of a daytime cafe could be a consideration (BYOB). Any other suggestions would be most welcome, I attach a few pics from our recent photoshoot. Gracias todos! A

Hi all, I live in Henslowe Rd and am looking for a fully commercial, local kitchen to hire twice/thrice a week for a few hours to pre-cook some dishes for a food kiosk venture that does not have room/permission for a full kitchen. This could be in an existing cafe/restaurant and I could adjust my cooking times to not interfere with the normal operation of the business. Could be a good way to earn a little extra cash. Any ideas/suggestions/offers please let me know. Thanks, A

@ dulwichgirl2 I think you're grossly over-simplifying and generalising relatively small correlating influences and equating these with causation. There is a (small) influence of well-to-dos from crisis hit EU countries buying properties in London and it probably has a small effect on property prices, it certainly is not the overriding cause of house price hikes in ED. It's a little more complex than that.....
