Dinner and Drinks

Recommended Posts

My (sprightly Grandma) is down visiting us this weekend and I'm looking for nice restaurants, pub, breakfast recommendations for Saturday. We are WD'ers but love to venture East now and then, but I haven't been enough to know too many places. Basically after a good breakfast spot or perhaps cafe for tea and cake and a dinner recommendation (British)


Any thoughts on where we could try much appreciated.

Artusi is good, simple Italian and does a good value Sunday lunch. It is on Bellenden Road. Franklins on Lordship Lane near to the Picture House is also very good but more like central London prices.

I'd recommend Petitou on Choumert Road for breakfast as you can sit outside under awnings on a roomy terrace beneath a large tree and the food is good and well-priced. (You have to pay for parking on a Saturday but it's only about ?1.50 for an hour and you may get a spot nearby that is free.)

In ED, Blue Brick Cafe on Fellbrigg Road is great and has a loyal clientele; it is vegetarian/vegan and its food is delicious and wholesome. (It does not accept plastic.)

Franklins has a good value set lunch if your Grandma is here on Friday, served until 5 pm.


The Lordship Pub has lovely food.


Could also try the cafe Norris and Knight on Forest Hill Road, past the Turkish supermarket, for brunch. They have three seating areas, two outside and one inside. And hens.

Breakfast... Toasted or Pedler for more extravagant options. Caf? Viva or Boulangerie Jade for croissant and coffee. Andersons is fine too, unless you want pastries/croissants (too dense and doughy). Petitou is a good option if you fancy sitting outside. (PM me for roads near Bellenden with free parking)


Dinner... again Toasted and Pedler, or Franklins. Crooked Well and Camberwell Arms both excellent if you can make the journey over the hill. Always loved The Palmerston too (but not been recently). Artusi is also excellent.


Tea and cake.. Boulangerie Jade will be hard to beat. Or the Horniman caf? is a really nice spot if the weather is nice. Or a bit of a curve-ball... Fabulous Ice Fires do really good ice cream.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
