Independent - Cheap Eats - Gowlett

And then the lovely paint and bicycle and clog shop, Colour Makes People Happy, is in this month's Elle Deco.

And Urban Junkies did a thing on SE London being the new gastronomy hotspot (but sadly they were talking about Kennington and Deptford).

Still though - we've got it all going on.

"former pub"??

Much as I love the pizzas down in the Gowlett, the last time I went it was lucky sevens night, which was really loud and off putting.

PS - East Dulwich is definitely not a gastronomy hotspot if you're a vegetarian.

Popped in for a pizza last night. Was top notch as per usual.

I agree with you wee quinnie, this area is poor for vegetarians.

Bit disrespectful... surprised to hear you say that!

Me and mrs simpo just had two sicilian pizzas - absolutely top notch and complimented perfectly with fine real ale.

Great atmosphere - no pretentiousness - love the place.

What? Suggesting gastronomy and vegetarian food are not bedfellows

There are many many tasty veggie dishes but gastronomic? No disrespect intended but no

Perhaps this is because vegetarians are so poorly provided for in the first place. BTW - have you been to Cafe Paradiso in Cork?

[Jeremy]

Maybe "disrespectful" was too strong a word, but plenty of veggies love food as much as any meat eater. In fact I think sometimes vegetarianism can trigger a strong interest in food and cooking. Personally I love eating meat, but I don't think you *have* to in order to eat well. Some of the best restaurants in London offer veggie tasting menus.

[SeanMacGabhann]

And as I said above there are many many tasty veggie dishes.

But I see wee quinnie has started a separate thread. Good idea. She is lovely and I wouldn't want to be disrespectful to her

So anyway guys, apparently the Gowlett was in the independent.

Whilst I like the Gowlett, that article was nonsense.

It listed St John Brwead and Wine as a cheap eat. Now, I love that too but no way would you call it cheap or bracket it in the same price range as the Gowlett.

Bizarre.
