East Dulwich Warehouse?

[foxyarchie]

Does anyone know what this place is and also where it's located? I heard on the grapevine there's lots of stalls and there's an oyster bar??

Hi Jill, have a look at these discussions: ED Warehouse and Oysters & the ED Warehouse

[citizenED]

Hi, Jill, there's a great big thread about it here

East Dulwich Warehouse

I can confirm that the oysters are LOVELY and the chap running the stall is very friendly. He seems to have a real passion for his produce and attempts to source different varieties whenever possible. I have tried three different types since it opened - fantastic!

The oyster chap is Martin, and he is indeed lovely; and also in need of increased sales since someone dented his vintage VW beetle last week, so do try to pay him a visit.

Next door to him is an organic herbs and spices stall, which I can also recommend, having had the most delicious in-house mulled wine in there last weekend.

More thumbs up for Martin. I had oysters for the first time at his stall the other week. I've subsequently had them twice in Morocco, from where I've just returned. His, especially the Falmouth ones, were better than the ones in Morocco. Nero

To be honest feels a bit poky and crappy to me...very nice people as I'm sure they all are....

Great cheese stall, but overall so far the warehouse is somewhat disappointing ..... no atmosphere at all, five minutes and you've seen it all ......

[TillieTrotter]

Can anyone tell me if The Oyster man will be open on Christmas Eve as would like to purchase some for The Big Day? Thanks

[dulmum]

I know the cheese guys are open everyday until christmas - not sure about the oyster dude.

[eddie]

Yes the oyster bar will be open on Christmas Eve and he is taking orders for the big day.

Also, the warehouse is open late this Friday and Saturday

[iamyamyam]

there's a good toy stall there with loads of great stocking fillers

Went to the EDW for the first time last Saturday - very impressed. Baguette from the cheese place is excellent!

[woodie]

oyster dude. sounds funny/

[SimonM]

>>Baguette from the cheese place is excellent!<<

The baguettes sold there are by some distance the best in ED bar none. I wonder where they come from?

[AllforNun]

Great idea I thought

[Indiana]

Cheese from Mootown is really tasty - v friendly vendors too - highly recommended!

Love the name as well.

[KalamityKel]

Wow lots of old threads r being dragged up... is this an invasion? *raises eyebrow*

[????]

mmmm- I'm pretty sure that this concept won't work...on a side street so no passing trade, not enough visibility, not enough scale, not enough differentiation, I wish em well but hope they're all on cheap rents

[Jeremy]

I see they've got a guy holding a sign on the corner...

"GOLF SALE"?

[Nero]

It's a good idea. It's managed to get a fair bit of free and mainly positive publicity from the EDF. It's got a range of shops, but it is a bit harum-scarum in terms of decor and atmosphere. It does lack cohesion, but it's never going to be Borough Market. I'd like the convener/manager to have a think about the overall feel and look of the place. 7/10. Nero

I agree it's a good idea in principal. But (for most people) once you've been.. you been.

The mix of stuff in there isn't right and there isn't enough stock or turnover of stock to make you want to go back.

It needs a couple of surefire winners in there to get the rest going. A couple of ChiChiRaRas would do the trick. It's the sort of place that would really benefit from having a nice cafe inside too - something to get people through the door regularly - but obviously there are space considerations (and I wouldn't know about licence issues).
