Wanted to share a great (in a weird way) experience my family had at Rocca at the weekend, and had to wait til I'd had my 12 week scan to out myself as pregnant!!


We've always had great family meals at Rocca in the village, food is good and staff are lovely with children. We decided to go along at the weekend on a very hot day. Despite having thought I'd kept my nausea-filled self cool all day, I clearly wasn't feeling my best as I managed to semi-pass out in the corridor en route to the loo. A very kind customer led me back to my table outside and then the Rocca staff kicked in: cold flannels, ice buckets and even the manager fanning me. It was all very embarrassing but I felt so rotten (had forgotten fainting feels like you're dying!) that I couldn't have been more grateful for their care. My waitress Lucia was so lovely to us and to my slightly bewildered 2 year old. And in fact the team kindly took him inside to a cooler area to eat his dinner and sat with him while I perked up with my husband at my side. Thanks to their lovely service I managed to recover well enough to eat all my lasagne (big deal for me at the moment as can hardly stomach anything) and we left with smiles on our faces!


All too often you read a bad review or a negative experience with staff so I thought it was definitely important to mention how superb all at Rocca were to us. Family-friendly all round, thank you Lucia and everyone at Rocca!! Email to manager on way too.

Another recommendation for Rocca from me! Went there for first time last month after I got sick of my Mum raving about it. Staff really friendly and they didn't make me leave pram in particular area when we sat down to eat or fold it down. They are also are much better than Pizza Express at toddler meals, really cheap for a freshly made pizza (think it was about ?4) for my 2 year old - and they went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable despite it being busy and super hot. It's really nicely done inside and the food is great value for money - think most expensive main is about ?14 (fresh fish), they have nice wines and free chilled bottles of filtered water for the table. My mother in law who is half Sicilian insists she eat there everytime she comes down so I imagine the food is very authentic too. Defo recommend for family meal...


Sorry to hear about your semi-blackout BST that happened to me last time but at the DKH Sainsburys who were equally nice and got me a chair to sit in the queue at the checkout and also offered to buy me a coffee at Starbucks! Think in general society is very helpful ;-)

    • Due to many people's packed social schedules at this time of year, we are giving the December Forum Drinks a miss and restarting at the EDT  in January (if they will have us! I think we have all been well behaved so far!) Wishing everybody  a very happy festive season xxx
    • Hi. I hope everyone is well. I’m just wondering if anyone in the East Dulwich area has a working VHS/DVD Combi unit that records from VHS to DVD.  Or if anyone is willing to allow me to borrow or lend it for a time until I get all my videos transferred over. I am looking for a few on eBay but either they do not have the recording function or they are just too expensive.  If anyone can help I would be so grateful.  My current one which is a Sharp make started recording fine after years of not being used, then all of a sudden it stopped and hasn’t worked since. When I put a tape in and try, the machine shuts down, and the play button on the remote seems stuck. Thank you to anyone in advance that would be so kind enough to help xx
    • A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...
    • The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.
