What's it like? It just seems a bit, well, odd. I think it looks attractive in a faintly "League of Gentlemen" way. Let me know if you've been. Is it a local French bistro for local people? I like to think of the old lady from the old dressmaker's next to the butcher's shop tottering off down there once in a blue moon for a bowl of onion soup and a glass of vin rouge. Mind you, I like to think of lots of things.....

My uncle who recently died used to venture into Le Moulin quite a bit, and in all honesty it isnt the prettiest of places from the outside, however the customer service is second to non from the guy who owns the place, and the food is asbolutely gorgeous! All homemade recipes mostly from the north west region of France, but top quality ingredients and a real hidden gem on the Plough end of Lordship Lane.. (dont be put off by the exterior, it is very clean inside and reminds me of a small cafe I once went to in Montpellier, very "1940's occupied France" is a good description)..

We live just around the corner from Le Moulin restaurant and often wonder about it. The menu on the pedestal at the front can't usually be read due to condensation.


Maybe we'll try it now, given the glowing reviews.


Have to say, it does look a bit odd though - as if in a time warp - but then many of the shops around there are a little idiosyncratic.

No and no.


Ate there about three years ago and was good. Ate there a year ago not so good. Prawns in tempura batter were definitely Iceland rather than homemade but their fish and meat is good and sauces are good too. Very dated though, so my wife won't go back. Maybe suits a certain age group, even older than me.

So very sad. Another old school ED institution going forever. I hope both Eric and Margaret enjoy their well earned retirement, I may be joining you soon and moving away from this area if it becomes anymore poncey!


RIP Le Moulin, RIP East Dulwich, Hello Clapham.

Eric and Margaret were quite unique in this day and age in the sense that they had a regular customer base and genuinely enjoyed what they did. They never felt the need to update or change too much, and that was the secret to their longevity IMO.


stacey-lyn I've not been to Clacton in years, what's it like these days? Regular visitor are you? :)

    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
