No wonder they were so bad-tempered when I went in there a couple of weeks ago!


But actually, despite my horrendous experience of being frog-marched out during a lampshades contretemps, I do sympathise. I have fond memories of meeting friends in there for many a lovely brunch when they used to serve food. Maybe they shouldn't have given it up?

I am sorry to have doubted you. We just walked down our road to see what was going on. The writing is on the "window" - there is a clothes sale tomorrow and a number of other dates and then that will be it. The sign thanks people for 15 years of service and happy memories.


When I moved to Northcross Road there was just Blue Mountain and Grace and Favour - this is a very sad day for local business.


However, there was chink of light under the blinds at Blue Mountain and I am delighted to say that evidence of a refurbishment is very present - lots of ladders, tools etc etc. Can't wait to see the new place - lots of luck to Mel and the team.

Never worked as a cafe because the small space Rose had was clogged with mums and babies not eating. That is why she closed the food part. It is a lovely shop, but she doesn't live in London anymore so having it must be a hassle.

Fi, who went on to work at the original Jack's, used to be a chef/cook there. The food was sublime.

Alot of independent businesses (and I am not being negative here)in East Dulwich close and re-open under new names. For example, The Black Cherry on Lordship Lane closed and re-opened as The Draft.Grace & Favour is in a prime spot on North Cross Road. Yes, it sad to see the store close and Rose is a lovely woman and I wish her the best. I'd give it three weeks if that until Grace & Favour is re-opened under a new name or business.

    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
