We used to think it was great and went there loads - loved the food and most of all the great service from the 2 men that ran it. However I agree with ElPresidente above re the change in management - there was a marked change in service and food. The staff changed from being really helpful to disinterested and although we persevered in the hope things would pick up again, we stopped going.


On a positive note Terroirs is great (the old managers had a link to Terroirs - not sure about the recent management) and the old manager is now running a new restaurant in Sydenham - one on the list to check out!


Fingers crossed it returns in some shape or form but with better service.

It used to be a nice indie wine bar/wine shop called Green and Blue. Before that it was a terrible restaurant called... was it Reynolds or something?


But AFAIK they have all rented the premises.

It has been part of the Terroirs group since it stopped being Green and Blue. Whatever happens is a win-win for me since I love ToastED as it is (they get their croissants from Little Bread Pedlar which makes it the best in Lordship Lane for breakfast, in my view). And Terroirs is one of my favourite restaurants in town especially for pre theatre.

Agreed, ToastED has been my favourite place in ED, possibly Londonwide too, since I moved here 3 years ago. Terroirs by Charing X is very good but not as good. And the new place will not be serving brunch. Their mushrooms on toast, and more recently the black pudding, was incredible. The staff were always lovely. It will be sorely missed.

It turns out that the premises (both sides) has mixed A1/A4 permissions.


An A4 wine bar can legitimately serve side dishes such a peanuts or crisps with the alcohol.


The new occupiers are unlikely to use the premises as an A3 restaurant without permission.


Mr Barber can seek enforcement action if they do.

Its owned by the same French Wine company. Terriors look and ethos is probably more honest of where they've been heading, so to fully become that makes sense.


They initially had an innovative Australian chef Mike hazel, he fought to keep doing the food he wanted and people loved. He's back in Australia now.


The big wine boss loves French bistro stlye dishes, so that's pretty much what you'll get.


It'll be nice enough, though I hope they loose that dark decor area.

Lucky Australia.


The first time I ate there I wanted to lick the plate, really delicious food.

Mike Hazelwood (known as ?Hazel?) was a Kiwi and he?s back in New Zealand now.


But yes, lucky New Zealand. He was great.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By shazza76 · Posted

      Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!

      Be careful on the pavements...

      Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
