El Pibe Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 village is pretty wanky though isn't it. Especially given the lack of a church or duck pond.

Otta Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thank you!I wasn't having a go at the place David, so no need to be offended. I just think that calling it "Village" is, as El Pibe says, "wanky". It is also very unoriginal, everywhere seems to be called Village these days. They are even trying to convince us Sydenham dwellers that Kirkdale is now Kirkdale Village. We do have a very nice French Bakers, but come on.

???? Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Otta - wander down the Barking Road (westwards from UP) and there is a bar called "The Village" on the left by the petrol station. Never has a place been so badly named as it's a sh!thole, on the Braking Road and mainly full of ex-ICF faces...and no, they don't do decent burgers Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23201-best-burger-in-the-area/page/2/#findComment-540711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraferJack Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Was never sure which I liked least - Barking Rd or Romford RdWhenever people complain about SE London, I remember a time when I had REAL problems Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23201-best-burger-in-the-area/page/2/#findComment-540715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Regarding Brixton, for me it has always been cool and q bit alternative. The word Village (within London) makes me think of Blackheath or posh Dulwich, 2 places with a certain feel to them. A feel that I hope for Brixton's sake you never encounter when you're there.

El Pibe Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 No, seriously, village is wanky.As a term it has been purloined by the evil estate agents and ruined its use for everyone.Pueblo would have been bad, though at least there's a fine colombian butcher there that would add authenticity.We could try patronising, how about Babyxton And Ting?

david_carnell Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Brixton Pantry???And you think Village has a metropolitan wankyness to it?!;-)Of course *Bob* looks on with his usual aloof disdain for anyone with less discernment than him and passes judgement accordingly.

*Bob* Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Anyway, it's dead easy to find.If you're coming from Croydon village, follow the A23 until you reach Streatham village. Keep going through Streatham Hill village, past Brixton Hill Village and Brixton village is on your right. Can't miss it. You know - just where the m*rket used to be.

david_carnell Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Except for the other market. The one called "Brixton Market". Yeah, not that one. The other one. No, it doesn't have a name. Well it did. But then we got rid of it so some guy callled *Bob* would come here.

StraferJack Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 is this thread now some meta-critique of the various "word" games already in the LoungeAnyway, topic at had. Most pubs do over-dry bugers. So for that reason alone, The Bishop/Capital pub burgers are ahead of the game by virtue of being moist and not overcooked*. They also know that a burger should be a pattie and not a freaking golf-ball* I expect DulwichFox to pop up shortly and condemn the very idea as unhygenic and we're all going to die etc Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23201-best-burger-in-the-area/page/2/#findComment-540746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie1997 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Brixton Regis.Aaaanyway, I couldn't be bothered to queue for Meatliquor in the evenings but I'd urge anyway to try it for late lunchtime midweek as its fab. Really juicy burgers and not that much more expensive than a macdonalds meal deal. Of course, who doesn't prefer their own home-cooked burgers after you've hand reared the animal from birth etc etc...

Otta Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Can someone please tell me seriously what is so good about burgers? I love meat, but just don't really get the whole burger thing. This is no dig at anyone (before D_C assumes that I am calling burgers the food of the middle class) but I'll grab a maccas or BK, but if I want to eat some tasty meat, I'll buy a steak sandwich rather than a burger every time., Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23201-best-burger-in-the-area/page/2/#findComment-540771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashoi Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm curious as to whether the people advocating eating rare burgers would eat rare chicken?
