Thanks for all the tips. I don't drink anymore so am very rarely in pubs but it's good to know where I can take him with me when I'm doing errands. He is usually fine tied up outside a shop for a short while anyway. Once he's used to staying home alone, I won't need to take him everywhere with me. As he's a rescue racing dog, he's glued to my side as he's convinced I'll leave him and not come back.

Reviving an old thread as I couldn't find a newer one and have recently acquired a dog. I'm looking for somewhere local for a work lunch but generally would be good to know what establishments since this thread was originally posted are OK with dogs. Franklins looks like a yes, what about the Palmerston which has changed management/ownership? 

Thanks in advance for doggy intel!

Hello hello! I survived the chicken (and so did my boyfriend) and it was very delicious (black garlic chicken skewers!)

I bought some chicken from there yesterday that I'm cooking today. I shall report back!

The asian supermarkets in Rye Lane have the red pepper flakes and the shrimp paste 🙂

Good stuff, thanks.  I'll be making the Sri Lankan curry powder too!

Good on ya - I never bother. Just buy it from the Sri Lankan store near Catford (Ganesha)

I'm planning to try the South Indian and Sri Lankan places near St George's hospital in Tootling.  West Croydon is also a good place. I expect that these places are more down to earth than Kokum - that's not a criticism but a fact.

Barbur sets the standard for high end in this area, although now very much fusion.  I've only once eaten at the Cinemmon club, fortunately I was being treated £££££.

Happy to try your home cooked food, I shared some of my Indian recipes on EDF during lock down.

As with the majority of Indians I do not eat meat.  The veggy restaurant that the Cheeseblock people ran was great but closed years ago.

Babur is yum, only had a takeaway from there recently. I'm a carnivore but if you want some of my fave vegan Sri Lankan recipes, beetroot curry, kale mallung and pol roti are delicious and easy to make.

Some links for you:

Anyone else eaten here since it opened? The menu looks really great. I am looking for somewhere for my birthday meal but as someone of Sri Lankan origin I am quite fussy about where I eat curry (when I'm not making it at home!)

Is the AskMyGP service offered by Tessa Jowell not working? I've used it about two times to book an appointment but over the last couple of months when I try to log on it always says the system has no more appointments left for the day. Is the only way to get an appointment to call at 8am? Thanks!

To celebrate my fermentation workshops moving to a new venue in Peckham Palms at The Flygerians? new restaurant and bar, use the following link for a 20% discount on tickets.

Kimchi Fermentation Workshop on 5th March:

http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/244357468767/?discount=FLYGERIANS

The training session is really great and the hire price is very reasonable.

I was with DMC for years because I was too lazy to change but I've moved to Tessa Jowell and it is a bit easier to use the AskMyGP online system and they do get back to you within a specified amount of time.

Two more kimchi workshops coming up soon in East Dulwich (15 Feb) and Peckham (5 March). Book online:

That looks amazing - just like the Sri Lankan food my mum cooks. Placing my order for the 12th. What time will you be delivering as I'm at work that day.

Is there any plan to repeat this scheme some time soon?

Great - what time are they there until as I can't leave work till 3pm.

Ahh I can't do Friday or Sunday this week which looks like the last session?
