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

      Fly the flag

      By NewWave · Posted

      As someone who's gradparents on both sides were immigrants, and someone old enough to remember my parents fear and anxiety over Enoch Powell I am deeply distubed by the rise of the far right, anti immigration and general xenophobia I am witnessing in the UK and in the tabloid press. seeing the cross of St George flag makes me shudder...rightly or wrongly I read it as a pro white anti anyone not of pure white christian origins. Within immigrants this country would be sc**wed.  I was born here but sadly I don't feel particularly at home here any longer.

      Fly the flag

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Starmer was in the news today saying he flies a St. George's flag in his flat in Downing Street.   Make of that what you will. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/keir-starmer-is-downing-streets-david-brent/ "Whenever Starmer tries to appear normal, he ends up sounding like a mixture of David Brent and the acid bath murderer. As he was asked about the proliferation of flags across the country, there came some absolutely classic examples of the genre. ‘I’m a supporter of flags’, he began. ‘I always sit in front of the Union Jack’, he insisted. Always? I can just imagine a flunky following the PM around – to his local, on trains, as he goes to the lavatory, just to ensure he is always in the presence of a Union Jack. Determined to make things even weirder, Starmer informed Chorley that he had a St George’s Flag up in his flat, as if he was trying to entice him upstairs in order to kill and eat him."
