In my experience it's been consistently rubbish for the last 6 years.

Slow, often poor service, cold overpriced food and aforementioned snootiness.


Fine if you get a bottle of wine from the bar and take it to an outside table yourself on a nice day.

Otherwise avoid.

And I thought it was just me. I was contemplating starting my own thread. A friend and I went to Black Cherry last night after taking a stroll of the Lane. EDT seemed a bit sticky and the food menu was poor. Black Cherry was great. Perfect in fact. Definitely my fave place on the lane so initmate and relaxed and friendly waitress who was on her third day. Anyway I digress, afterwards we went to the Green so i could show my friend some of their wine and beer. But each question we asked was met with derision and contortions of the waitresses face. plus she was busy on the phone to an acquaintance. Needless to say we were only there for a few minutes but knowing my friend if we had received decent service he would have bought a few good wines to take home. Can't say I'm in a rush to be made to feel like that again.

that thread has been started downsouth.


At least once


Sorry you had that experience - I have found them to be tremendous people and and many of us have been for drinks on several occassions - always been a joy


I know Kate (owner) takes criticism very seriously (and well) so I will pass on

I had a birthday party there and they were great. i then went and had a drink there and the waiter brought me something completely different to what i ordered and told me it was my mistake. i then went there with a friend and her child who proceeded to projectile vomit...what goes around, comes around!


anyway, they make really horrible coffee there!

      Handyman Review

      By mgk · Posted

      A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.

      Plumber recommendation - Niko the Plumber

      By ssn · Posted

      I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.

      The Mansion Tax

      Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
