Bubble and squeek - east dulwich road

[Chick]

How many people walk down to the lights then back up to the shops? Zebra crossings are low maintenance and most drivers are very good at observing their function.

[the-e-dealer]

OH wow did they do Bubble and Squeak ? I love that! have they closed?

[Strawbs]

A pharmacy and a cashpoint that doesn't charge ?1.25

[Thomas Micklewright]

Ha yes hole in the wall, zebra crossing and a brilliant coffee shop that sells vegan chocolate cake.

Booyarr.

[Cam123]

... and there is a cash point at Tesco 1 min further down!

Honestly people! Won't walk 15 meters to the lights, don't want to walk 30 meters to a cashpoint. What is the world coming to when we expect things to be that convenient?!

[123-lisap]

bubble and squeek grotty cafe! is being transformed into a pizza parlour.... i hope its a good one.

[KestonKid]

According to the builders it's going to be a Papa John's.

Is this good?

[KestonKid]

Meanwhile Fish, Chips and More's takeaway a few doors away opens on Wednesday 7th December.

[jimmah]

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!

[karter]

Great idea if it's a Pizza place, i don't think Locale serve Pizza.

[Bellenden Belle]

I've had pizza at Locale and literally two minutes, on the next corner, is The Gowlett.

Terribly disappointing to have not only another pizza place but a 'slightly better than Dominos' chain at that.

[katie1997]

How very disappointing (td)

Why couldn't it be offering proper bubble & squeak with decent sausages instead? Grrrr.

[Jeremy]

Locale pizzas are good. Gowlett pizzas are lovely. Don't need another pizza place at all, especially not a pizza hut / dominos type place.

Boooo.

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.

Is it just another Very Expensive Cheese on Toast on a Motorbike outfit?

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.

[KestonKid]

I think the coffee van is only there at weekends?

[neilly1973]

I live near that strip and my other 'alf is very excited about fish and chips - lordy - anything other than another indian... the bike shop does well, as does all fired up - they'll be just fine.

[Thomas Micklewright]

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.

Just had a very good fish supper from Fish, Chips and More near Locale/Bubble and Sqeak. Good chippy chips and nice bit of cod. Restaurant bit not yet open.

Defo go back, that was barry!

[david_carnell]

Sweet. Barry news indeed!

[Peckhamrye]

Excellent! Great to have a proper chippy nearby :)

[maxxi]

I'm a fan of Emily's in Nrthx rd but great to know there's one over that way now... Pint in Gowlett and proper chips on way home instead of fries from a kebab shop...mmmn.

[ontheedge]

I rarely buy take out coffee, starbucks yuck, nero ok, amt good, but green & blue one of the best I've had heavenly lot smaller cup than major chains but much better kick (hit) did everything I want coffee to do

[KestonKid]

Tried the new chippy tonight and the haddock was great - really fresh. Chips I thought a work in progress; not as good as Olleys. The seating area won't be open until March though.
