I just read the guidance concerning pubs reopening and there is one point that will give publicans a sigh of relief


"Reminding customers who are accompanied by children that they are responsible for supervising them at all times and should follow social distancing guidelines."


So no longer can patents allow Little Lord Fauntleroy or Little Miss Mischief to run riot in pubs or restaurants expecting staff to act as unpaid child minders or clear up after them


Silent cheer goes up in establishments all over England !

Yes it doesn't look like Tart is reopening.

I'm surprised by As Nature intended as they are part of a chain owned by Planet Organic so not cash poor.

I never used them anyway for that reason as I prefer to support my local independent shops.

As Nature Intended will be closing on Tuesday 11th August, confirmed by them today. As Nature intended have gone into CVA, company voluntary arrangement with their creditors. Planet Organic wouldn't survive in ED, unless you want to pay premium prices, to cover their premium rents. Foxtons own the building and the only available building on lordship lane only has A1 license and has so many restrictions on the planning, due to the residents who live above the property.

Shop local and independent. Many locals are now shopping local and independent due to the reliability and good stock levels in the independent stores. Many of the independent stores delivered to their customers during lockdown and they still do, and they stayed open throughout lockdown.

Im happy to see that yuppie shop close down as it was pointless and an awful replacement for Surma. Hopefully something useful and affordable will take it place, such as a cheap off license or small KFC/fried chicken shop (since the one opposite closed earlier this year).



The next place id like to see go is that health shop beside Hisar, i was warned by my housemate that during the lockdown and early stages of the pandemic they were selling room odourisers and saying they were hand sanistisers, charging ?5 for the privilege. Thats clearly a shop the community could do without.

Perhaps you'd like to retract the accusation about a shop based on a rumour. It appears to be malicious.

Actually it isnt a 'rumour' thanks, my housemate showed me the bottle and i saw it for myself, it was clearly labelled as 'room fragrance' or something similar. You may remember that for a while it was very difficult to get hold of hand sanitiser on Lordship Lane yet this shop had a big sign outside advertising they were and the stuff on sale was as above.

So a shop was advertising it sold one thing, and also happened to sell something else as well. Which was clearly and accurately labelled.


That's like complaining because a shop advertises it sells oranges and also happens to sell apples.


But keep on trolling, dontbesilly ...

Hi dontbesilly

i have just reported you. You seem hellbent on winding everyone up on here. Do not get personal about shops and business on here. I look forward to admin banning you. You are a parasite.

    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
