Do they tell you if they are cooking in dripping, or do they just look at you and class you as an ancient person?


What if you are a vegetarian?


ETA: It would never occur to me to ask. I just assumed all fish and chips were cooked in oil. Is there a big notice warning people about this?

Mine were in Oil and someone asked me if I was in my late 30s last week.


I'm on a roll.

It was a feature in Eurostar's magazine but there doesn't appear to be a link. It was some kind of nostalgic piece looking back at the best places he'd had chips throughout his life which somewhat inexplicably included an early branch of McDonald's. But his current haunt was Ken's which seemed more credible. Had no idea he was a local.

Another vote for Ken's, though Fish on the Hill on Herne Hill also good when they cook from fresh, I go there when Ken's has too big a queue.


I saw them filming Jay Rayner eating Ken's chips on the bench on Half Moon Lane, apparently for Netflix with some american comedian called Phil Rosenthal, my new york cousin tells me he's a big deal. There's pics on ken's facebook page www.facebook.com/thankcodforkens/.


Let's hope fame doesn't spoil the fish.

He is a really lovely man, but sadly his chips are awful :(

Agreed ! On the one occasion I tried Emily's the chap in the shop was great as was the fish but there was just something unpleasant about the chips.

But in my experience they are always limp and soft. Good chips should be crispy outside and soft inside, in my opinion.


Sadly, fresh and tasty is not enough where chips are concerned!

      GALA 2025

      By first mate · Posted

      I know. Now the weather has been better for a few days, that whole area has been well used by people sitting out in the grass and just enjoying the peace and views- mainly young people too! Now all that will be lost for the rest of the summer as the grass does not recover until autumn.

      Southwark's 'hugging' Mayor

      By Chris Haydon · Posted

      The year of Councillor Naima Ali's tenure as Southwark Mayor comes to a close on Saturday. Her energy and enthusiasm have made her a popular local figure and she has been dubbed the Hugging Mayor and sometimes the Dancing Mayor. She talked with Chris Haydon on PECKHAM PODCAST about her life journey, FGM and being proud to be British:

      It's started. And seeing it just now made me feel genuinely a bit flat and sad.

      Indoor market in East Dulwich - Would you be interested?

      By Sue · Posted

      I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
