There is a PapaJohns in Lewisham. Made a special trip there to try them out because the TV ads looked really good and they did buffalo wings.

The pizzas are pretty good, they are something like a Dominos but maybe a bit posher. Their garlic dip is a bit weird though, it's not the creamy stuff but melted garlic butter and a bit sickly after a while.

The buffalo sauce isn't the same as I had in the US but still good.

If they open up here I will be happy!

Er didn't they say 'really good coffee'? - the van is not.


SE22, 'East Dulwich' or otherwise, continues to frustrate with inconsistent, dissappointing coffee.


If anyone, preferably a try hard bean snob like myself, can recommend a coffee in the area to rival flatwhite, milkbar, monmouth or similar, it would be appreciated.

For country still in love with Nescafe I don't think East Dulwich does too bad when it comes to coffee. Sorry if the "die-hard bean snobs" amongst you can't find a "god-shot" locally but it's hardly a coffee wasteland. Whilst pushing your kids on a swing I'm sure the van does just fine.

looking forward to a few more shops opening on the strip - shame to see it so empty.


So have we confirmed its a Papa Johns? Shame we cant have a few more independent shops.


Is there anyway (perhaps a question for the Cllrs or James Barber) that locals can campaign to stop chains like Morleys and Papa Johns? I think the great thing about ED is its community feel, and this is slowly being eroded by chains.

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
    • I'm glad all this talk of cheese has enticed David Peckham back to the forum.
