Saucy open from today ...for good!


Recommended Posts

Well after more kitchen nightmares than Gordon Ramsay we are delighted to say we're finally open! We will be serving our main menu and over the next few weeks adding more lovely dishes including great steaks, ribs, bowls, and launching brunch from 10am on a Saturday/Sunday with everything from waffles to baps and of course a banging full English.

We are also launching the Saucy Soft Serve ice cream bar in the restaurant from today for all the family. It's simple...choose your delicious ice cream flavour, size (large or regular), waffle cone or tub and a choice of over 20 toppings and sauces!


We have assembled a great team headed up by Ellis Dickerson who you'll all probably know from his decades at the Palmerston. So do say hi to him๐Ÿ˜Š


To celebrate the launch we have a great deal on a bottle of French Cremant sparkling wine for just ?20. So come along sit inside or outside and enjoy our Saucy experience.

We can't wait to meet you all

Thanks for your amazing support and patience

With Love

The Heaton Family

I did walk past today as I do everyday.


I did think to myself that it did indeed appear to be open and was tempted to pop in and say hello.


But Alas as most people that know me I'm a Shy fellow. a bit of a Shrinking Violet.


I will pop in at sometime soon incognito. :)


Good Luck

Walked past and looked at the menu this morning, looks decent enough.


If i had to make a suggestion, i would include some fries with your burgers. Doesnt cost much extra to you, but would make me go there far more often if that was in place. It sticks in the throat a bit paying a tenner for a burger then having to pay another 3 odd quid just for some chips, when clearly, if we are being honest, they should come together.

To the best of my knowledge, neither of the other burger establishments on Lordship Lane give the chips for free.


I suppose they could charge you ?13 for the burger and give the chips for free, would that make it better? :)

It would give them a unique selling point if they did include chips with the burger if the other local ones don't.

It's a Misconception to suggest that chips coming with a Burger are FREE.


They are not free. You are paying for them.


Not all people want chips with their burger. They are two separate items.


If restaurants serve their Burgers WITH chips then there should be an option to have the Burger

WITHOUT the Chips at a reduced price.


Rocket Science..

Some would now choose to have a burger 'patty' without either chips or a bun, but with salad or other vedge. The ability to order what you want (and pay for what you get) doesn't seem too unreasonable in this day and age. Offering only a burger with chips (which you may not want) seems the unreasonable position. Of course, you could offer (and price) a burger both with and without chips on the menu.

The place seems to be Very busy since opening.


One has to realise that not everyone who Eats and Drinks in East Dulwich uses the East Dulwich Forum.


Not Everyone that Uses the forum post about their experiances in the local Bars and Restaurants.


If anyone wants to find out about the place ? then pay them a visit. Your own opinion may well

be very different from somebody elses.

well, perhaps we should consider Honest Burger as the benchmark. Burgers cost between ?9-11.50, and all come with chips included.


I generally wont eat anywhere that doesnt include chips with its burgers, whether on Lordship Lane or not, and seek out places that do, because they are far more common than some people here think.

?13 is not that drastically different from ?11.50. Overall I like Honest, but I've had a couple of fairly tough burgers there (as well as some good ones). And it's a fairly basic no-frills environment.


If the quality is a bit better and more consistent, then perhaps ?13 is a fair price? I certainly don't think it's completely out of keeping. And Penguin's right, not everybody wants chips anyway (although IMO such people are clearly mad).

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
