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.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
