As KK surmises, I did not make a special trip to Walthamstow to eat at Manzes.


Fox, you appear to be contradicting yourself by now suddenly finding that other people eat pie and mash.


And of course I did not think you were referring to me, nor have I taken anything personally, how ridiculous.


I was, I thought, pointing out flaws in your and Louisa's weird views by using myself as an example. Who else would I use?


But logic does not seem to come easily to either Louisa or yourself, so I don't know why I bother :)


Enjoy your "curry" :)

With respect Sue, I don't think foxy is contradicting himself one bit. He's simply suggesting that you can eat food from wherever you like, but some people choose to be seen eating in certain places because they charge more, even though the food is probably of the same quality at a cheaper place. And to be fair, your argument makes no sense. You rarely tell us all when you'll be eating pie and mash, yet you'll go out of your way to tell everyone you went to MeatLiqour*. Shoot me down if you so wish, but there's a lot of double standards going on here.


Louisa.

That's pure snobbery, and indeed why so many people like fox and myself make the points we do.

I have never set foot in the place. It looks Nice.. Does not seem too expensive...

But it sells Foie Gras..


.. and I have expressed my views on Foie Gras many a time over the years..


It prevents me using several outlets in East Dulwich and indeed elsewhere.


Principals have to be adhered too.


Lets see what the new place will be doing.

Yes I know. I meant lets see how well it will be doing.


Foxy.

I never went to Le Chardon, I always found it a bit intimidating. However the decor looked amazing.


I believe that as residence we should get s say on what type of establishment gets a foot hold on lordship lane. Could you imagine a McDonalds there? or KFC God forbid.

Sorry admin, but may I just briefly go off topic to inform Louisa that I did not go to the opening night at MeatLiquor, let alone "tell everyone" about it 😀

Sorry admin may I also briefly go off topic to remind Sue of a thread in which we discussed people sat in the window seats at said eatery and the whole 'look at me' thing (which I don't wish to go back into), and I'm sure you said you and Mr Sue were invited to some special pre opening event thing? If I am wrong then I apologise. Either way, you went into great detail about meatliqour and yet we only recently discovered you visited a pie and mash shop in Walthamstow :)

You are wrong.


We neither went nor were invited to any special event at MeatLiquor, Nor did we go nor were we invited to the opening.


Maybe check the thread in question before posting false information twice and going off topic again.


And why would I mention on here previously a place in Walthamstow I went to years ago? It was only relevant because of the raising of pie and mash on this thread.


Whereas when I posted about MeatLiquor, it had just opened locally.


FFS.


I have only replied to your post because you are persisting in posting ridiculous and wrong things about me.


I don't know whether you do this deliberately, but please stop. If you are trying to wind me up - congratulations, you are succeeding.

Actually, I already said I apologise if I am wrong, I couldn't remember the specific details of said discussion. Here they are though on this page http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1619535,page=6


I did remember you saying you had been there with your other half, hence why I was confused and I apologise unreservedly Sue for getting my facts wrong.


I am doing nothing deliberately, and I'd rather not be accused of winding people up, I was actually trying to have a serious adult debate about restaurant diversity in East Dulwich and London in general. But once again, my points are lost through a sea of off-topic nonsense.


Louisa.

Hello East Dulwich! I'm Adam, one of the owners of Tart, and yes we are indeed taking over Le Chardon from Robert. My partner and I have eaten at the restaurant a few times over the last few years but never did we think that we'd have the opportunity to eventually own such a beautiful space. We're excited to open our second shop on Lordship Lane and look forward to inviting you all in to try our fare. Before we get to that stage, I wanted to share our thoughts on a few points you've raised:


1) The interior: as mentioned to Yvonne when she emailed me, our plans for the restaurant are centred on respecting the history and immense character of the space. Therefore, while we shall be updating/fixing the areas that need it (e.g. the kitchen, painted-closed windows and worn flooring), we'll also be honouring and augmenting the historic character of the shop.


2) Our menu: at Tart our aim is to make the best savoury tarts in the business. Not quite a quiche and not a pie, our tarts are packed full of great ingredients and held together with the minimum of custard needed to set them. Our top seller is the chorizo, roast red pepper, goats cheese, tomato and pesto tart. My favourite's always been the smoked haddock, mature cheddar, spinach, caramelised onion and coarse-grain mustard tart. We also have a full brunch menu and bake our own brownies, cakes and cookies. I've attached a pic of the chorizo tart below and you can see more on our website here: http://www.tartlondon.com/gallery


3) Pricing: you can take away that chorizo tart for ?4.95 or avail of our tart and salad deal for ?6.50, which is very popular in Clapham. Pots of salad range from ?3 to ?5. Our sit-in prices are little higher due to VAT. Hopefully you'll find our menu represents decent value for money.


If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. You can email me directly at [email protected] or follow us on Facebook at Facebook.com/Tart and Instagram on tart.london. Look out for launch promotions closer to the day.


All the best,

Adam

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
