Cheers ("Where Everybody Knows Your Name")

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.

Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,

and they're always glad you came.

You wanna be where you can see,

our troubles are all the same

You wanna be where everybody knows

Your name.


You wanna go where people know,

people are all the same,

You wanna go where everybody knows

your name.


Yeah well perhaps not, but they're good guys (tu)

Myself and Freya had enormous scrummy Danish pastries there on Saturday morning.


The place was full of mature new mummy types insisting on Soya Milk Latte and various confections for their children which were manufactured in a nut free environment. I am not exaggerating at all - just for a change! Four out of five of them had diet related allergies! The one with the nut allergy decided to throw caution to the wind when she saw how super the pastries appeared - which is alarming, because (and I do know a little about this subject) anaphylactic shock is not something you can decide to just put up with because you fancy some cake!


The staff smiled on throughout the requests, even when one mother asked that the milk steaming appliance not be used for a half an hour as it was upsetting darling Hugo!


The lovely waiting staff desserve a medal.

It prompts me to wonder whether they were true allergies - which, as you mention, may be life-threatening - or the fashionable ailments that are "intolerances"... no doubt disgnosed by dangling a crystal over the kiddies' stomachs at one of the alternative health practices that SE22 suddenly seems to be riddled with.

Resurrecting this ole thread as Mrs Mac and I went there last night to check out the bistro menu. I don't want to come over all Living South about it ("dish after dish was just lovely.. etc) but we did have 4 dishes and they were all totally gorgeous. Nothing was overly fancy (the black pudding, lardon and spiced apple compote was the closest to fancy and was well lush) but everything was top notch.


And the Peroni was on, which made a nice change ;-)

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
