And the winner is....... The Rosendale! Just had a meal there in the restaurant side which was good and wine which was amazing: Viognier and Muscat :)


The waiter told me that they had won today and beat Monsieur Ramsay to the title.

Allfornun - It's true.


I live a couple of minutes away so I'm always in there after work. The bar menu is good but I would suggest you go for the upper part as that is where the restaurant menu is served. works out to about 40-50 per head depending on how many courses and wine you go for.



Jahlush - yes it has been fixed up A LOT since you were there. Not to say it was that bad before mind. It also has private dining/function rooms upstairs. See pictures http://www.therosendale.co.uk/

I love Chez Bruce but the numbers you gave a. should be ?37.50 for 3 courses and b. doesn't include wine or the discretionary 12.5% so more like ?55 per head. What I gave was all in (including 9 glasses of different wine from a 30 strong list of wine by the glass) and was of a very good quality. It (being the quality) is high enough to perhaps receive a star one day.


The winelist http://www.therosendale.co.uk/menu.asp?menu=2689 is charitably marked up too. I can definitely recommend the Viognier and Muscat - sublime.


I'd sooner pay that than ?11 for a sandwich.

Cheeky sod! I've been in loads. Chapter One and Arbutus are two examples of michelin starred restaurants where you can get a meal for two with a modest wine for under ?100. And there are loads where you could spend less than ?150.

Indeed, Jeremy.

I think most people go to M-star restaurants 'as a treat' and so order all the trimmings (aperatif, cheeseboard, digestif, wine galore). It need not be so. Order modestly.. and go twice!


(Err... That said, I think we coughed-up over ?175 in CB's last time)

downsouth - don't get me wrong, the menu does look good and I'd love to check it out some time. It's just that I was initially surprised at those prices in a pub. But if the food is of a high quality (which apparently it is), then I guess it's pretty good value after all!
I agree it's great for the area, I've been once just after it opened and it was very good, not really a gastro pub though. I believe Anglea Hartnett was championing it at the awards!! Perhaps now that Ramsay has closed the restaurant at The Connaught she's looking.....................

If only - that would put a rocket under Dulwich's profile. We already have a few bentleys parking out there of an evening. Saw a few really old crusty Michael Winner types in there last night no doubt off the back fo the evening standard article.

    • what's scandalous is our government allowing it. The should and can impose fines and order works which would lead to TW becoming bankrupt, at which point it can be taken back into the public domain.
    • The privatisation of water is just ridiculous. I have the Safer seas and rivers service app on my phone (recommend it if you like to swim outside) and the regular (weekly) sewage dumps highlighted all along the south coast is just outrageous.
    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.
