Rye cafe-new management

Recommended Posts

Apologies if there is a thread already, but for the first time in a couple of weeks I went to this place to find it rebranded and with a very much reduced menu, with prices on the high side.


Anyone else?


I used to have a lovely soya latte here and not only are the cups smaller, the prices higher, they really didn't know how to make it! Twice I received a rather foul (scummy) coffee...

I went into the Dulwich Park cafe earlier this week - the coffee was decent, but yes it had gone up (2.20? to 2.50). early days I guess but it looked very very bare compared to the old one. Noticed the breakfasts on the board were quite expensive too. However, if they can get through the queues more quickly than the old cafe on a weekend, it would be worth it.
I went a couple of days ago and unless they get some healthier snacks I can offer my kids I will have to stop coming. All super sugary cakes/ cookies. In fact the cookie I had was dry. I agree cups were small. Also very sad at the loss of books. It's gone from being a very child friendly place to stop in while taking the kids to the park to being (at the moment) unsuitable for us. If the management are reading this please can you offer some healthy snacks and meals?

They gave you mouldy jam but didn't give you your money back???


That's terrible!

Very true that the food prices are too high (though the old ones had had a hike as well recently), and they need some healthier kids snacks but oh... they know how to make coffee! So I can forgive them all the rest. The old stuff was just overheated mud IMHO, so I'm happy.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
