Not tried Arments. Too far away for me ... I can walk into Peckham and do some shopping at the same time.

Give it a go Mr Fox you wont be disappointed, you can jump on a bus from LL and just get off the Walworth Rd just opposite Westmoreland St.

Too many good eateries last a few months and then the custom falls off and they close. Ideal would be to find an entrepreneur willing to invest in a good quality kitchen and then find restaurateurs willing to run say, 3 months pop-ups - changing over regularly. For them, it would be a chance to try out a formula - for us a new cuisine every quarter that we could all fill and then not worry about returning too frequently 'to keep it going'. LL palates seem to get quickly jaded - maybe this would be a way round that. And having a regularly changing venue (but in a good and intentional way) would probably be good for the Lane as well. Sensible scheduling and planning could have a pie-shop style outlet in winter months, something more salad-y and light for the summer. Just wishful thinking of course, but no more so than previous posts perhaps?

But wasn't that what was happening at that place near Tandoori Nights? Platform something or other?

That didn't last long :(

There is already one on LL. Bloomers, next to The Lordship pub

Sharon who owns it is extremely knowledgeable and offers a fitting service.

A pop-up but not a 'rolling pop-up' I thought. Happy to be proved wrong. And I think it would have been more 'waiting for a full-time tenant' and not an intentional business plan for change.

[dullwitch]

It was still there in 2000. I remember it.

Tapas.

Tapas is often a big rip off. 'small plates' that cost ?8 each build up very quickly if you want to have anything close to a decent meal. I'd rather a McDonalds than a pricey tapas place.

Platform 1 which replaced Pussy Liquor

They used Experimental Chefs who were trying to get recognised and they changed around every 2 months or so.

All trying to do a Heston Blumenthal..

There's Maria's tortilla (very good food) and before that there was pretty tapas

Seems people are suggesting businesses without realising they are already here - do your research people before posting 🤔

I could "drive through" that idea 😂

None of those statements are actually true.

But don?t let that stop you.

It didn't "replace" Pussy Liquor.

Pussy Liquor was, thank God, renamed after - let's say - poor feedback on this very forum.

An ill-advised joke on Meat Liquor, which at the time had only recently opened.

I don't think any of the chefs were doing Heston Blumenthal stuff though. But I couldn't afford to find out :))

[DulwichFox]

Yes...

It didn't "replace" Pussy Liquor. ???

Well it did in Name only..

The Chefs DID rotate,

I believe Tasting Menus were on offer for people to try different

dishes from each of the residing chefs.... and main set ?? meals

Out of my price range for what was on offer..

Fox.

How beautifully grown up of you 😂

A greengrocer would be very nice- we have a good fishmonger and butcher, so with a greengrocer we could get most of our fresh produce without going into the supermarkets.

Back in the 80's we had a brilliant Greengrocer on Lordship Lane Near the then named Foresters
