I had a really rubbish steak at Boisdale's once.


Used to go there all the time, never went back again after that. Must have cost them quite literally thousands. I used to take clients there all the time, but I was stuck with this feeling that one of them might get the same result.


I usually recommend giving people a second chance, but with a steak I rarely do. Dunno why.

Several reason really


Just the chips alone, most people can't be doing with the faffage neede to make a great chip - only a restuarant (if inclined) has the volume of oil and fryers to nail it


Similarly with steak - in theory they can source a really good steak, and depending on the equipment to hand they can cook it in a way that only a home cook can dream of


You can do a really really good steak and chips at home - but it can't match the best in the restaurant world

Do not go to the Harvester at lordship lane!

I was waiting for a steak there and me and my lady friend was sitting near the kitchen and she could see the cooks working!

sitting down eating our salad chatting away when I saw my friend face turn a shade of green! asked what was wrong and she said she had seen one of the chefs pick his nose and wipe it on a plate!

we reported to the management and left! ruined our appitite!

@ Jah


did I? I can't recall but I wouldn't be surprised


But I don't think I've ever been one to say "why go to a restaurant when you can do it at home" - sometimes getting out of the house is exactly what's needed


But as I say you can do a very good steak and chips at home - it's just having been to a few good places recently, I wouldn't say you can always do better at home.

I wouldn't say I could do better at home Sean but it's not difficult is it.


Ahem! Captain Scarlet, who in their right mind would want to go to The Harvester? I still remember when it was a decent pub with a great restaurant out the back. A long time ago mind. Just wish it could be restored to something along similar lines.

My Dad's chip machine makes the best chips I have ever tasted.

So it can be done but we have no room for more kitchen machinery what with the bread machine and the coffee machine.

But we did once buy two generous cuts of sirloin from the butchers on Evelina Road Nunhead and came home and cooked them to perfection, eating them with so-so chips from the oven!


That was when we had money, like!

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
