I don't know if anyone has noticed lately that there is an uncontrolled influx of Dutch people moving into East Dulwich! What if they start selling more cheese? The recent great cheesefire of Dulwich was a disaster that caused severe traffic congestions for hours!
During the unfortunate recent events, several wheels of high-quality dutch Milner cheese were lost which is why we have released a statement, inviting anyone with relations to the Dutch to move to East Dulwich in order to meet the growing demand of cheese in East Dulwich. We also had not foreseen the impact of our actions and we will continue to monitor the situation while posting regular updates on our website.

that's strange, i havent seen anyone wearing a funny hat or clogs ;)

The 2001 UK Census recorded 40,438 Dutch-born people residing in the UK.


The number of foreign-born residents in England and Wales has risen by nearly three million since 2001 to 7.5 million people, That means about one in eight - 13% - of residents were born outside the UK.


They do not all live in East Dulwich

The Dutch are amazing..

They drink lots of beer and remain friendly.

Below a Small section of the Maastrict Carnival.


With a Huge main square and 2 smaller ones the streets are packed with 10's x 1,000's of people for 3 days.

There is a Pub/Bar for every 200 head of population.

Holland were playing Jamaica so we decided to fly over (mental day!). What a ball! Not even particularly liking footie much, it was great fun - almost everyone was wearing the colours and all the pubs were decorated.

    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
