I'm repeating what I posted on another thread as it seems relevant: We walked out of the Plough recently as they were unable to offer ANY dairy free meal (our daughter is allergic) and the chef was incredibly rude about us even requesting such a thing (rolling eyes and tutting). He was also uninformed about the ingredients...suggesting sausage and mash might be dairy free (but there turned out to be butter and milk in the mash), which suggested the food is not cooked on the premises. They were incfrediably unhelpful and do not even have a kids menu so I would not take children there again. I have also seen a Brake Brothers van delivering there early in the morning... I suspect the meals are delivered pre-prepared hence the spinach in your pasta. Have eaten there since without children and food was really poor. Would not recommend it.

They are especially rude and unhelpful about children, and they are always full of kids. I wouldn't bother with it...Jacks rules in our household.

Well said mamaFG! I agree. It's only a shop anyway, not designer, not chichi and not particularly overpriced like many of the existing shops and cafes around here.....

"i shall continue to get my sushi delivered from fujiyam". Do Fujiyama deliver to East Dulwich then??? And I wouldn;t describe JoJo Maman Bebe as 'designer' clothes...what about Soupdragon for overpriced?

As I was walking past this site a couple of months back I happened to see what seemed to be the developer getting into his car so I stopped and asked him what was going on. he told me it would be 5 shop units and 10 flats above, the units will be let to whomever takes them.

Another option would be to consider cycling. I cycle everday and takes 25 mins regardless of the traffic. (ED - Greenwich - foot tunnel - Cabot Sq). Keeps you fit and great for stress relief.
