You need more than that for a buzz.


You need an appealing menu, appealing decor, a nice vibe and music that doesn't make you want to eat up and leave as soon as possible.


I hope it hasn't closed, because I don't like to see places fail, but I only ate there once and have no inclination to go back, particularly when there is such a wide choice of other places to eat locally.

There was always an air of mystery about the delay in first opening.


I ate there on 3 occasions ... once with Curry Club..


I really liked the food there. The staff were friendly and attentive.

Food and drinks were reasonably priced..


It just never seemed to take off. Maybe the eclectic mix of food suggested it was not specific enought to produce decent food.


Rumours from a single source of why it has closed are unsubstantiated and too sensitive to post here.

I personally do not know why it has closed.


I'm sorry it has gone. but it may be permenant..

    • Unfortunately there are two ways of examining this, if we even had the figures. The first is simply to look at the revenues paid to the Council and see if the costs (in terms of setting it up and recovery from it, including administrative cost) are less than the revenues. This would be quite simple to do assuming we could agree the proper allocation of those costs. But additionally we have the amenity cost to those Southwark residents either (a) losing amenity value through e.g. disruption, and secondly losing amenity value by being excluded from parts of a public park for an extended period in summer. That is not a fiscal cost to the council and clearly they don't give a damn, but that would be the only way of judging whether this event was of overall net benefit to Southwark residents, the only people who the council should be 'working' for. Don't hold your breaths.

    • I need a trundle bed! 2 single beds that convert into one double bed. Preferably wooden. If you have one that you no longer use/would like to sell, please get in touch via PM.  Thank you 
    • Dulwich College had the "luck" of those allegations landing right in the middle of COVID when the media and everyone else was a bit distracted. And then to make double sure the discontent was suppressed, it threatened kids who wanted to demonstrate with police action. The kids at the time said: "Dulwich College has for years totally ignored, dismissed and condoned by turning a blind eye, this predatory behaviour by students... A protest was students’ only way to pressure the headmaster to actually tackle the sexual violence at his school.” The march by pupils of several schools was advertised on social media as “a demonstration against the predatory culture of Dulwich College and the school management [which] condones it". https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
