Until it closed, the Blue Brick Cafe in East Dulwich offered the most wonderful home-cooked chips to accompany a spot of the old egg & b. But now, sadly, it has gone.


I have searched far and wide - at enormous physical expense - for a cafe that offers non-frozen, hand-cut chips in the area but have sadly drawn a blank.


Does anyone know of anywhere that offers this simple delight? (Will travel)

Dear Pat


It has been gone for ages the Blue BC


Where have you been all this time ?


Mind you, when you find a nice fat hand cut chip, do let me know


Meanwhile, I make a very nice chip here at Curtain Towers


And next time i'm (double) frying, i'll think of you

I'm with you there


They're strangely cardboardy, but the mushy peas & fish are good


The one near the Herne are quite nice too

Hi all,


Yes, the chippy-with-seating is often the last refuge for the chip-lover searching for a breakfast.


I have tried the Sea Cow and agree the chips are not up to scratch - very disappointing for an otherwise fine establishment.


I have not tried the one on Northcross Rd and will try it out.


The problem I find though is that while chippy chips are often good, the kitchen does not offer egg and bacon to accompany them.


I'd be interested in hearing of any cafe in London that offers this simple delight!


Pat

You could always hot foot it to the chippy of your choice, then carefully protecting your cherished portion of chips run as fast as you can back to yours, put the chips in a pre-heated oven to keep warm, sling some bacon under the grill, fry an egg or two, serve it all on a warm plate and tuck in! Mmmmmmmm!

I went out with a girl who gutted chickens in a Littlehampton factory


She worked in a freezer room essentially


Ooooooh her hands were always cold & she had that fleshy meaty smell about her


Needless to say it didn't last & I moved on to the girl from the crispa-cress packers. Her odour was just fine btw



(they were lean days down there)

The seacow chips are fried in corn oil, quite horrible and the chips in underhill road are still vile half green warm

insulting exscuse for a fish and chip shop and a waste of money.

The best chip shop closed down years back by the police station run by the chinese family, dont know where they went

wish they,d come back,

The chip shop in North cross road cook theirs in nut oil,horrible

WANTED IN EAST DULWICH> A new fish and chip shop, that can cook traditional fish and chips, like you get down the seaside, Any new arrivals will be recieved.

The Chinese did not move away, still there.

The guy I think suffers a degenerative ailment and walks now with a stick, I see him regularly getting the bus. I think he does some kind of teaching/support for kids in Chinatown which, considering his condition, is quite a feat.

Nice guy. I generally found his chips to be soggy, but I was always a 10.30pm customer.

Some replies...


Yes! The Regency, off Horseferry Road, is exactly the type of establishment I mean. A classic British cafe that offers fresh, chip-shop chips. It's exactly one hour's walk from where I live, enough time to build up a hunger.


I would, as some have suggested, do my own home-chip-frying, but sometimes you just want someone to do it for you, while you have a good sit down and check the weather on your phone.


I have also, as suggested, dashed back from the chippy and hastily prepared the egg and b. at home. Can certainly do the trick, but you still have to do the washing up. My favourite chippy, FWIW, is the Herne Hill Fish Bar - http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/52/1588610/restaurant/Dulwich/Herne-Hill-Fish-Bar-London

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
