SJ's right - they offer the thin spindly fries option or the big fat proper chip one

Fries....



Chips...

The choice is yours (and that is how it should be ;-))

DH offer chips and/or fries as a side as well as with burgers -


"Hand-Cut, Twice-Cooked Chips or Fries w/ Tangy Malt Vinegar Mayo ?2.95"

How long did you wait? We tried to get in but were informed the queue was 3 hours wait time - so we left. Modern "no booking" ideas may be good for the buzz, informality and impetuous types but they're a real pain when you want to plan an evening

Hamburgers are an American institution. The holy grail of hamburgers appears to be those sampled in the US. That is what I mean by Yankee like. Burger and fries. It's semantics. Over here fries are usually called chips unless you want to show how transatlantic you are. They are the same thing but can be different shapes.

I think a 'fruit crisp' in the US is similar to a 'fruit crumble' in the UK.


Crumble in the US appears to mean the same as crumb in the UK, and there the chain ends ;-)

The lobster's the bargain. It's all the same price: lobster n chips, lobster roll n chips, burger n chips - ?20. Can't imagine why anyone would have the burger really. Suppose it keeps the allergics happy.

Yes, a fruit crisp is like a fruit crumble, but it usually has oats in it as well, not just flour, sugar and butter. And then there is also a slump and a grunt.


You would need to ask for an apple crisp or whatever fruit for someone to understand you. A crumb cake has a crumble like topping on it.

RosieH/Otta - yeah, I don't understand why anyone would go for the burger either. They did look good coming out, but not that good!


Marmora Man - we arrived at 12:10 on a Friday lunchtime, and had a 45 min wait. I hear that early dinner (i.e. 5:30pm) is a good time to go.

Apparently it's doing VERY well. So much so that I think this will be the next restaurant trend..... Menus with 2 or 3 choices on them! Mark Hix will be serving chicken and steak only from one of his places!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.

      i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?

      This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion.

      Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
