A radio on in the background is OK, but a big screen (as are appearing in some curry houses and barbers) are naff. The lovely restaurant near to W Dulwich station was spoiled by its big screen. I asked for it to be turned off (there were a handful of other diners, all equally irritate if the encouraging looks I got means anything) and then never went back. You can tune out the wireless, more or less, but it is very hard to unwire your lizard brain so as it doesn't react to bright, moving things just above your eye level.

Truly remarkable how some people (no names mentioned) can turn any thread at all about some kind of class digging gentrification thing!! Really boring.


Anyway, welcome to you Evening Johnnies (I think this is what you should re-name yourself)......!!!


I'm not a fan of enormous TVs generally either but obviously great if going to watch sport or some other event. Maybe suss out the situation with customers to see whether they find it intrusive.


Good luck :-)

I'm sitting in Honour Oak Cafe. I can hear conversations, eggs frying, people laughing and much newspaper reading. I can just detect a little radio in the background & for me, it's just about spot on.


Television if you're on your own, I concede that whilst watching a documentary its a pleasure.


Good luck Johnnies!

Apart from your spelling of Honor Oak, that's the way it should be.

ok Johnnie's - maybe TV is ok for daytime but evenings need to turn it off and have music instead.


We love coming to eat at yours - usually Saturday's after swimming - and will definitely come in the evening to show our support.

Thank you for all your comments! We are listening to all of you.

As for menu I tried to upload a photo in other section (business and restaurant, in post JOHNNIES KITCHEN ON LL). Its really hard to see anything there, but i have to resize it to be able to add it...

Hope you all have a wonderful day, despite a gloomy weather outside

Johhnie,


Will you be doing a 5 items for ?5 in the evening like you do for your breakfasts ?? In regards to the tv issue the only time i can recall it, was hearing "Here comes the hot stepper, murderer" and i felt a twinge of guilt as i cut into my cumberland sausage !!


Have you thought about upgrading to a 4k tv with a sanos soundbar ??

Johnnie,


Have you changed your sausages,I popped in a couple of weeks ago for the 5 for ?5 and the sausage wasn't up to its usual standard, can you confirm if this was indeed a one off or if you have infact changed your sausage supplier, obviously this will impact on where I breakfast moving forwards.


Thanks

Why didn't you ask when you were there? Is it easier to ask on a public forum?

RE: Alan Medic


Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I just came across this thread and thought i'd ask, obviously if i could like Cher in her seminal 1989 hit "Turn back time" I would of asked at the time, point noted.

Of course i did, the sausage along with bacon are in my eyes the most quintessential part of the traditional English breakfast, cold beans, over cooked eggs or no mushrooms i can live with but a poor quality sausage ruins the experience in my humble opinion.

Satellite, how do you feel about breakfasting moving backwards? Could this enhance your breakfasting experience? It's worth a try. In the words of Sir Arnold Bax, you should try everything once except Morris dancing and incest.

    • If I correctly paste this url in, you can see exactly what Tesco plc is proposing to do with the site: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/files/82A133E84D9AF5351A8B38889C17E72D/pdf/25_AP_1353-PROPOSED_ELEVATION_1-4061617.pdf
    • Helen and Steve did an incredible job transforming our garden (erecting a new fence, building decking, laying a new lawn and planting). Helen is very thoughtful and helped to prepare a detailed plan ahead of the work starting aligned to what we wanted and within our budget. The team worked quickly and efficiently and were incredibly polite and professional throughout. Everything was carried out to such a high standard and I couldn’t be happier with the result - we have got so much enjoyment from the garden since then. Highly recommend!
    • Silly question, but have you reported this elsewhere as well as on here? Eg passport office, banks (if there are bank cards), police? Because if someone is carrying around their passport (assuming it's theirs) they must be pretty devastated if they have lost it, and it's fairly unlikely they will see this post, though fingers crossed.
    • * Big, sick & tired sigh * Ok, so here is this year's small selection of Gala litter that has been left behind. I have to emphasise, it is only a small part of what is still there, collected on Tuesday from a relatively small area in the south of the ex-site. I also have to emphasise this only took about an hour of slow wandering, using only my eyes & hands - no specialist equipment, and I'm not a paid employee of a specialist waste management company. And to confirm, this is after "The site was checked at the end of GALA’s tenancy and found to be clear of event-related litter" by the Council / Parks Dept. There's 488 items there, many of which would be potentially hazardous to children, pets & wildlife. Not least the small bag in the bottom left corner, still containing a suspicious white substance. I'm hoping to pass this on to the police for testing, ensuring it is recorded for the purposes of next year's licence consideration.  Please - before anyone posts any comments defending this, denying it is festival related, insulting me, whatever - just go and have a close look yourself, particularly where the tents, stages & toilets were sited. It's obviously from the festival, and there's still loads of it there, all over our park. It is literally being trashed, year after year, despite repeated assurances from the organisers.  I'm sick of it, it's just so depressing.
