We are about to renovate a flat and looking for a great builder to do everything from strip out to installing a new kitchen, bathrooms etc. Any personal recommendations would be gratefully received! Thanks so much!

To build a customised gaming PC. I have ordered all the components according to sons spec from Amazon so now need help building it as it looks super complicated! Happy to bring to a shop or if there are any freelancers locally looking to earn some extra cash etc Thanks

Hi Guys, I'm the owner of Saucy/Saucy Chip. I said very clearly we are closing due to 'ill health and relocation overseas' Both very true. I didn't say we were "seriously ill" nor have we closed because there are too many burger restaurants on the street", chicken was actually one of our biggest sellers! Quite simply we are moving out of the Dulwich area (and part time in France) as operators and I'm having a very significant bit of surgery. Massively appreciate all the fantastic, lovely well wishes given the money, love, sweat and tears that went into the site I was so passionate about. Good news is I'm developing the brand outside of Dulwich and internationally so for those of you that came and enjoyed in Dulwich, of which there are many, we'll keep in touch😊 Thank you loads Jules xx

The menu is now on the website guys.

Hi Dulwich Fox In the first month we are not opening Monday and Tuesday. Can I ask you when you are coming in as we would love to meet you. Please can you email me at [email protected] Thanks Jules

Well after more kitchen nightmares than Gordon Ramsay we are delighted to say we're finally open! We will be serving our main menu and over the next few weeks adding more lovely dishes including great steaks, ribs, bowls, and launching brunch from 10am on a Saturday/Sunday with everything from waffles to baps and of course a banging full English. We are also launching the Saucy Soft Serve ice cream bar in the restaurant from today for all the family. It's simple...choose your delicious ice cream flavour, size (large or regular), waffle cone or tub and a choice of over 20 toppings and sauces! We have assembled a great team headed up by Ellis Dickerson who you'll all probably know from his decades at the Palmerston. So do say hi to him😊 To celebrate the launch we have a great deal on a bottle of French Cremant sparkling wine for just ?20. So come along sit inside or outside and enjoy our Saucy experience. We can't wait to meet you all Thanks for your amazing support and patience With Love The Heaton Family xx

Hi Guys We are opening with the main menu which is just being designed so will be posted v soon! We are just taking walk ins in the early stages of launch but if you have a party of 6 or more do please drop me an email at [email protected] Look forward to hopefully seeing you Cheers Jules

Thank you edcam. Pop in on Friday and say hi and have a drink with us. Would love to meet you and Fishbiscuits. 😊

Looking forward to welcoming you all! 😊 Cheers Jules

Sue one is our catering business the other is our restaurant business. We've been catering at private events and festivals with a different menu for over 6 years. Makes sense to keep them separate in Our opinion.

Thanks for the support guys! Been a long hard slog and a huge investment which we have funded personally (before you judge, just imagine how unpredictable and expensive a renovation and launch like this is..) but we are finally nearly there. We look forward to seeing all of you when we open next week. 😊

Hi Dulwich Fox, Sorry to hear you're not well. Best Wishes. Again just to clarify, I am busy planning the launch and was there today for various meetings. We are really excited so would just like to be able to crack on please. I have picked up on all the above comments including the 'failed' comment and clarified many times the restaurant was completely renovated including full rewiring months ago. I'm not one for gossip, so suggesting we 'cut corners' was upsetting and just not true when all I'm trying to do is restore an old building and focus on my new business launch. With respect you may not see the work that we are doing but doesn't mean nothing is happening or progress isn't being made. :) Will keep everyone posted via the Saucy social pages as and when we are opening which shouldn't be long now. Or drop me an email at [email protected] if you want to discuss anything personally. Think my time on the EDF has come to an end (!) so please do feel free to contact me directly or check in with the Facebook / Insta pages for updates. Again Many Thanks Jules

Hi DulwichFox It's Nick here, Jules' husband. Just to let you know I've worked on building sites in Lancashire from the age of 13 (and I'm 50 now) so I'm incredibly offended and insulted that anybody would suggest I've 'taken shortcuts' especially from someone who has no facts or knowledge about what has happened over the last 9 months. My team and I have worked tirelessly renovating a rotten building. As for taking shortcuts it's currently cost me the best part of ?300,000 so people publicly spreading lies and untruths is unhelpful to say the least. However given your concern about the 'shortcuts' that I've apparently taken, I'd like to invite you to come into the restaurant next week to see for yourself the 'shortcuts' that you accuse me of taking. Please let me know when you would like to come and look around the building and I'll personally give you a guided tour. I would also like to invite anyone else who feels compelled to speculate about our new venture to come in and have a look too! Thanks Nick DulwichFox Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > It opened for 3 - 4 days but as I understand it, > the electrics failed. > > Should of been rewired before all the building > works were carried out. > > Bit late now.

Hi Wayne Thanks for the message. We haven't 'failed' because we haven't opened yet! We had an issue with the power and gas nothing to do with rewiring or general electrics. The whole building was completely rewired as part of the renovation. Those issues are now sorted. We have also spent the quiet months of Jan and Feb renovating the upstairs function room which is looking great. It's not quite finished yet but when it is we will be opening with a very tasty menu and look forward to seeing you hopefully. Cheers Jules

Hi Guys Quick update - The power issues and function room renovations (a huge job!) are very nearly complete and the building is looking great. Next job is to work on the terrace area and planters and we are waiting for our awning which is currently being produced. Re healthy options and the full menu. Saucy is about celebrating great sauces as part of a variety of different dishes from around the world and not just a burger restaurant like GBK/Byron etc. In fact we have a pretty substantial section of the menu dedicated to lighter dishes/salads, veggie options including vegan, and hearty bowls such as our signature Chilli. But if you fancy being a bit naughty and having our Cornish haddock and chips or a Saucy burger and some loaded chips we have that too! Targeted to open at the beginning of March so hope to see you all soon Cheers Jules

That's great. Thanks so much for your feedback and comments Cella - sadly all sorts of things happen in new business launches which you can't predict for so I'm taking an onwards and upwards, positive approach and I'm planning on a brilliant reopening :) Going forward please follow our Facebook Page or website for updates. Thanks Jules

Exactly. As we said we did rectify it as soon as we realised because someone alerted me. It was a genuine mistake because it was all very new for the team throughout the soft launch! If anyone would like to pick up with me personally please feel free to contact me at [email protected] I look forward to reopening after the building is finished and the power upgraded. Many Thanks Jules
