Number 22

Hi all - Chris here - ex-owner of Number 22 (I can't seem to change my user name!)

I've teamed up with local caterers Ginger Jar to produce a fantastic new pop up restaurant night in Borough on 1st April. We've found a fantastic period cafe and designed a menu that reflects London cuisine. We've partnered with Jensen's Bermondsey Gin and Fourpure beers for the evening - so expect excellent London drinking too. Tickets are ?45 for four courses and a welcome cocktail.

We are down to the last handful of tickets which are available here - www.chrisadnittevents.com/tickets/caff

Hope to see you there.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

Number 22 Restaurant has finally re-opened following the flood of August 2013! We're open from Wednesday to Sunday for breakfast, lunch and dinner - serving up our fantastic tapas, Spanish bocadillos (lunch), Revueltos (scrambled eggs), tortillas, pastries, cakes and coffees...

Every Sunday evening we present live musicians from 7pm - from jazz guitar so singer-songwriters, bossanova to folk - a gorgeous chilled soundtrack to your Sunday evening...

This weekend it's the turn of the exceptionally talented Pippo de Palma on solo acoustic guitar.

Entry is free - table reservations for diners only please!

See you soon at Number 22

Building and decor week is being carried out as I write - looking like we're on for re-opening in early September. Can't wait to welcome back our customers! Watch this space!

Mr Ben you're right.... the biggest help you'll all be to the businesses of Herne Hill will be to pay a visit when we get back on our feet. The danger is that we drop off the map / out of people's minds. Thank you everyone for taking an interest.

Chris

Brixton-centric - but highlights the problem.

Chillaxed: Sainsburys Effra Road (planned), Tesco Express Herne Hill (coming soon), Tesco Express Brixton Hill (planned), Sainsburys Local Lordship Lane (recentish)...

And yes, I do agree with Penguin 68 - except on the idea that chains and their staff are being "punished" by this campaign. The campaign seems to aim to get people to think a bit more about where their cash is going and encourage diversity... Giving independents a try rather than presuming that they'll be more expensive / worse quality.

I'm not sure that encouraging people to try out independents for a month is going to lead to mass redundancies at Sainsbury's & Nero Huguenot.... but this is an interesting idea for our general area (and I'm spreading this to Herne Hill, Brixton & Peckham) given the current rash of planned new supermarket openings. And yes, independent grocery suppliers did ought to open at more convenient times for their customers - the Fruit Garden in Herne Hill is open until 7pm every evening for instance - more should do the same.

Tweat up's response to the Canary Wharf question was to take a packed lunch & a flask... did make me smile.

A great idea from Tweatup (over on Twitter) - #indiefeb - Support small independent food businesses this month by not buying any food or drink from chains or branded groups (5 sites or more) - so no Eat, Pret, Pizza Express, Nero, Strada, Youngs, Geronimo, M&B etc for a month. Gets particularly interesting if you want to extend it to groceries - no Tesco, Sainsburys, Waitrose, M&S etc for a month. If you live in Dulwich, Herne Hill, or Brixton this will be easier than it sounds! Follow us on Twitter - @No22Restaurant

Looking forwards to the Fair on Goose Green on Sunday as well as the Dulwich Park Fair next Sunday.... two lovely events. We'll be there with our Casa Paella Stall - swing by and say hi! x

Look forwards to seeing you here!

Here you go everyone, a little something to cheer you up in this freezing weather...
