I think there is 2 debates going on here, the heathly food debate and gentrification.

Was driving around East Dulwich towards Peckham Morrisons i noticed so many new places that are for the hipster types that have the budget to buy a coffee for ?3 and a sandwich for ?5.

I'm on a budget and although I would love to sit in a coffee shop and have a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmellows - I see it as a waste of money and I could buy a whole jar or coffee/hot choc for the same price.

But I understand not everyone is like me - so the posh French place, meat liquor and Francho Mancha, is targeted at people of a certain price bracket - not sure if their pizza prices but guessing they are a tenner each , plus drinks and service, it will be a minimum of ?30 - for me this is half my weekly shop budget. And there are cheaper places to eat, obviously not as fancy but weatherspoons/harvester are on option for those on a budget, for the occasionally treat.

I have only ever had subway once, can't say it was memorable, but working people that need a budget lunch for a few pounds - why not ? Not every store on the high street can serve low calorie food - its out responsibility to manage our diets.

For everyone that has put a downer on the idea of a subway , get off their high horse and stop thinking that ED should be the Kings road and trying to socially cleanse the shops. All types of people live in ED - those on benefits, low paid workers and very well paid professionals in million pound houses - it should a place for ALL

Do you mean ?30 just for you? We (party of 3) had 3 pizzas, an apple juice, a sparkling water and a beer at Franco Manca and it came to about ?30, not including service.

Get yourself down to Franco Manca herne hilly, the pizza there is cheaper than you think. Many pizza restaurants are indeed pushing there pizzas into the ?10 and above zone but Franco Manca have continued their lower prices.....the cheapest still there at under ?5


I agree that it is important to have a range of places that are suitable for different budgets :-)

Herne hilly, you're wrong about Franco Manca. Pizzas are from ?6-?7, it's one of the cheapest places to eat out. If you can afford Harvester you can afford FM.


I think Subway would probably be reasonably popular though.. early morning bacon butty and coffee... quick lunch on the go.. pre (or post) pub filler. Fast food can serve a purpose. Besides, if someone likes Subway, that's their own business.

And very delicious pizzas they are too!


I took my daughter and son-in-law there for lunch in the Summer. My son-in-law said afterwards that his heart had sunk when we said we were going for a pizza, but he had been too polite to say anything, however they were both really impressed with the price and quality.


One of my granddaughters is dairy free for health reasons, and they were really accommodating in using her "special cheese" (ie not really cheese) to make a pizza for her.

Yes it's called Cheese analogue


Cheese analogues are products used as culinary replacements for cheese. These include vegan cheeses as well as some dairy products, such as processed cheese or Kraft Singles, that do not qualify as true cheeses.



Many if not most Pizza outlets use Analouges. I saw a programme on TV about the scam where people think they are getting real cheese.

Cheese Analogues are a lot cheeper to produce. Fine if you are told what you are getting.

Cheapest pizza there is ?4.50, with cheese ?5.90. Free water. Lunch for two can be had for ?10 including tip, or ?15 with the most expensive pizzas.


You can of course spend as much again on side dishes and wine...but there's no pressure or expectation to.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By David Peckham · Posted

      It's Christmas, Mal, I'd like to think admin may be a bit looser at this time of year. Goodwill to all men and all that, even Scousers, the French and some Canadians. Have an easy-peeler, a Morrisons own brand Cinzano and lemonade, a toke on this beauty, listen to my post-dubstep-style mash-up of 'Little Donkey' and Frankie Knuckles' 'Your Love' and let the thread go where it will. We're strangely reverential about the Christmas period in this country. Christmas Day in Spain is a bit different, the big day is 'Kings' Day' on the 6th of January.  I've spent a couple of Christmases in a tiny village in the Sierra Nevada outside Granada with an (English) ex-girlfriend's family and it's exhausting to celebrate both British and Spanish style. You start on Christmas Eve, then Christmas Day, Boxing Day, a village fiesta apropos of nothing to do with Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, the neighbouring village's fiesta, and only then the big day of Kings' on the 6th. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that's posted on the 'Fireworks' thread, I thought is was a reenactmentent of Guernica. Thankfully, Coviran - it's a bit like Spar used to be - do an excellent 'Feliz Navidad' fiesta package of six bottles of local red, six white, 24 bottles of Alhambra beer and an okay-quality Serrano jamon (with stand and knife) for about the price of a decent round in the EDT. One fiesta deal every couple of days works well. Christmas Day in Toronto is like any other day, just  even duller - Sunday-service transport and the  LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) shop is shut. Those who take their drinking seriously need to plan ahead. They also have a strange custom of going to the pictures on Christmas Day evening, rather than watching 'Oliver!' and trying to fleece your niece for her Christmas cash in a game of Connect Four. It's a bit different in Goa, but brilliant. It was a Portuguese colony, so they go mad on it. It's quite magical. I spent one Christmas Day where, after seeing the previous night's hangover off with a prawn caldine and a bottle of local coconut feni, the tide ebbed away to reveal the most perfect, flat wicket for a game of tape-ball cricket. 25 or so a side, ravers versus locals, I batted in the middle order and was building a solid, if unspectacular, innings until I hit a pull shot of such exquisite timing it still visits me in my dreams, only to be caught at square leg by a little, local lad, bollocks-deep in the surf and wearing a Santa hat. Christmas isn't what it used to be. Keep the parks open!

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By COYS1961 · Posted

      I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By spark67 · Posted

      I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)

      Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
