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..

    • Cheers, they could also publicise the filming there - Entertaining Mr Sloane in particular. That's Beryl Reed, a friend of my late uncle.
    • Have you seen there is now information on the two notice boards in Camberwell Old Cemetery about the history of the cemetery and who is buried there
    • Everyone’s Invited made for shocking reading and, your right, the story never seemed to gain much traction. The whole thing felt very shady. 
    • 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.
