Ah, a shame to lose this, but after the much delayed start it must have made the financials difficult.


They did a very good vegan burger.


If anyone is interested in good vegan burgers, I can recommend the one from the Picturehouse.


Best wishes to them.


I'd love something like Seacow to come back.

RIP Saucy. It's gutting when you've put so much time, energy and capital into it. But you learn, dust yourself down and move on.


It always seemed fairly busy when I passed by - which shows how tight margins are these days to make any eatery viable.


It's no consolation but I guess the work they did to get the building back to modern standards after the neglect with the Curry Cabin lease will benefit the next leaseholder.


Good luck to the team behind Saucy with their next endeavours.

If it is indeed true about the serious illness then thats very sad.

Am I correct in thinking they had some problem with their original chef injuring his hand and unable to work or something which delayed their trading? Or was that somewhere else?

I felt it was somewhat jinxed from the start.

we actually never went or felt any desire to go because of the food offering being limited to the burger and chip end of the spectrum which just never appealed.

Especially with GBK and Meatliquor on the same road had we fancied a burger (a VERY VERY rare occurrence in our household) we would have gone to Meatliquor.

It would be great if something to replace the much lamented Brickhouse opened in its place.

somewhere with great all day breakfasts, soups and salads.

You mean...gasp...somewhere on the Lane that sells simple, healthy food? Yeah that would be great as options are limited. But Signora, whilst not shouting loud about it does a brilliant job of that I find. Prices are reasonable too.

Yeah that's a real shame. Wouldn't blame anyone for relocating overseas at the moment.

Hi Guys, I'm the owner of Saucy/Saucy Chip. I said very clearly we are closing due to 'ill health and relocation overseas' Both very true. I didn't say we were "seriously ill" nor have we closed because there are too many burger restaurants on the street", chicken was actually one of our biggest sellers!


Quite simply we are moving out of the Dulwich area (and part time in France) as operators and I'm having a very significant bit of surgery.


Massively appreciate all the fantastic, lovely well wishes given the money, love, sweat and tears that went into the site I was so passionate about. Good news is I'm developing the brand outside of Dulwich and internationally so for those of you that came and enjoyed in Dulwich, of which there are many, we'll keep in touch😊 Thank you loads Jules xx

I like Signoria a lot but it could be a tad healthier! Salads are unimaginative and only white pasta is served, although they do great fish dishes.

Very best of luck in your next venture. We'll miss you - a really bright and fun addition to the Lane, my teens loved your menu. Wishing you lots of luck with the surgery, your recuperation and the relocation to France. We'll always look out for Saucy and hope we come across you in future either in the UK or in France (we go there a lot!) Xx

Par for the course these days...last I heard Merlin Entertainments (Legoland etc etc) operate with zero hours contracts

      Massive thank you to Stephen. Painted our whole house - and got lots of other bits sorted, too. Nothing was too much trouble, everything looks great and all came in on quote. Fantastic. Liverpool fan, but don’t hold that against him. Will 100% use again.

      Local Carpenter - Langley Carpentry

      We worked with Eliot recently to get two sets of shelves built. He was excellent! Really high quality craftsmanship, communicative and lovely - I’d recommend Langley Carpentry in a heartbeat.

      How about trying the upstairs of some local pubs like EDT? They prob won't stay open until wee small hours but worth a try... or night at Rivoli Ballroom Catford (too old?!) or somewhere up in town for drinks rather than hiring somewhere.

      Burglary Lacon Road

      By Jellybeanz · Posted

      Sadly crime does seem to be going up in terms of opportunists and street crime / bike thefts etc. Lack of CCTV in this area means it's more of a target than some neighbouring areas according to police (when they sent victim support round after our car had its catalytic converter stolen twice in 6 months by organised gang complete with balaclavas, iron bars and a chainsaw.. driving a 4x4). Crime still relatively low by some parts of London standards but a worrying trend if burglars are trying their luck when people are actually home. Wonder what local police/ MP thoughts are in terms of whether they could organise more community policing patrols. I read a woman was punched in the face on/near Lordship Lane in an unprovoked attack a week or two ago. Terrifying.
