I was a bit shocked to walk in to the NEW Peckham Rye Cafe. This is our local and we've been regulars for years. I had no warning that things were changing. While I did often wish for some updating of the menu, I am deeply distressed that there seems to be nothing vegan on the new menu and the new soya milk they are using makes my latte taste disgusting. I'm a little devastated. It' been a hard week of loss (USA election, Leonard Cohen, Leon Russell) and the cafe is just a nail in the coffin.


Anyone else super happy or sad about the change?

Well it is Autumn now coming on Winter and things are quiet, but in the Summer The Park cafe is very popular and one of those little

things than many local people DO give a @#$%& about. So Malcom Tucker can do one.


Often stop of there when out walking. Nothing special but a lovely spot to sit outside with tea and a cake.

No need to pardon, quotes those pearls o'wisdom away.

Shame the cafe has changed management. Stopped off regularly for a coffee and bacon sarnie. Coffee now is insipid and flavourless. Will go elsewhere. The new management are a chain with strong links to Royal Parks, so probably out bid the old lot, the wind has blown in from a new direction....!

I started a thread saying this very thing! You may want to look for it, the link to contact the caf? is on there, although they know my views because I complained in person too.

If only everyone could copy the stoical attitude you showed to losing your beloved Iceland Louisa! I don't think you were a great fan of suggestions then that you should "just find an alternative venue which sells the things you miss," were you?


I must admit I did at first think it's a caff, get over it - but then I thought some people get just as attached to caf?s as I do to pubs - if my favourite local was taken over and they stopped selling my favourite beers I'd be cross, I can actually see the OP's point.

I do miss Iceland rendel, but I didn't bang on about it. I jumped in my trusted automobile, and ventured down the old Kent road where I have since found a new exciting alternative to the old ED store. It's a shame we can't arrange once weekly free transport (some sort of mini bus?), to the new warehouse store for locals craving an Iceland fix. I know many less agile people who are openly quite jealous about my car trips to the new store. Not that I'm one to gloat.

Ah Louisa, I'm a big fan of your posts but you did bang on just a wee bit!


Caf?s and pubs are different anyway, if someone's used to dropping in to the same caf? on their morning school run/exercise/dog walk etc, it's not much consolation to know that they could get in their car and drive two miles to find one similar to the one of which they've been deprived.

If it is, DreamyMummy is clearly playing the long game, and very well. 37 other quite normal posts over the last two years... that really would be a top wind-up effort.

    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
