speedbird773 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Today I have sadly noticed that the Dulwich Hamlet fish bar (by East Dulwich Station) has shut up shop and it is now replaced yet by another chicken shop. Two chicken shops now within metres of each other. Disgusting if I must tell ya..

zork Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Pretty surprised about this - what happened to the no new fast food outlets within 400m of schools initiative? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/total-ban-on-fastfood-outlets-within-400m-of-london-schools-a3702376.htmlI'm pretty confident Charter ED and Dog Kennel Hill Primary are well within 400m...

ken78 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 i can't see how the chicken shops survive, if we all used the fish shop that closed then maybe they would still be trading so is it our fault it is closed ?

Jules-and-Boo Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 The chicken shops survive (thrive, even) because people like to buy and eat greasy fried cheap factory farmed chicken.Just saying.

ken78 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 well that's your answer people like buy it but not the greasy fried fish and chipsit is a shame that we can't have a good fish shop but we can have lots of the chicken shops the only way to stop them is NOT to use them Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/256535-fish-bar-to-chicken-shop/#findComment-1432728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernmonkey Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The fish and chip shop that was previously there sold terrible fish and chips - this is why it failed. Compare and contrast to Ken's on Half Moon Lane which has queues out of the door. If Maxim chicken is anything to go by, the new place will have a steady stream of customers Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/256535-fish-bar-to-chicken-shop/#findComment-1432738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidKruger Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 sort of inevitable, given the price of F&C these days compared to fried chicken.current situation will only make people poorer so fried chicken may become the new national dish - if its not already !I think there was an article in Guardian yesterday about 'fried chicken mile' at Mile End, East London, obesity and related health issues later in life (heart, diabetes).

dontbesilly Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 There is hardly any chicken shops in ED, and one just closed beside MeatLiquor, so we are hardly swamped with them.Try going to somewhere like Peckham where there are dozens- its where the local yoot get food from after school.

paulu197 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Given the amount of people complaining about the poor quality of fish and chips, despite the owner being lovely this is a must win.I've noticed that when ever any kind of cafe / food shop opens, people always whinge. Someone opened a cafe specialising in brunch and the first comment was - don't be a trendy poached eggs style cafe etc...Why not visit the stores and keep the economy going instead of whinging and moaning..

Jules-and-Boo Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 It appears we all secretly like chicken shop chicken more than anything else.Peckham is saturated and now it's coming to east Dulwich :-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/256535-fish-bar-to-chicken-shop/#findComment-1432845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigello Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Good news for the economy/pigeons/foxes but not great for those who like to see little-free streets. Chicken boxes and soft-drink containers make up a sizeable bit of the litter I see (and sometimes pick up, if it?s safe to do so) and the combo of kids and fast food will likely make litter more visible. (Yes, most kids are not litter louts but some are and having a new fast-food outlet open will mean more rubbish on the streets.) Once again, the poorly paid street cleaner will be having to work harder for no extra money because I doubt the vendor will set up litter patrols within, say, a fifty yard radius.

Jules-and-Boo Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I dont' know about chicken boxes being the main litter source - you just have to look in the park at the Meat Liqor and Franco Manca rubbish Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/256535-fish-bar-to-chicken-shop/#findComment-1432878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Aelfheah Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Fried chicken is tasty (I accept that this is a matter of personal taste, but clearly enough people think so), quick to be served / to eat and incredibly cheap. It's not difficult to see why it is popular.What really needs to be addressed is the poor farming methods. But it looks like the UK is moving towards even laxer standards post brexit, so kids are going to be getting fatter.

Jules-and-Boo Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 what makes you say that?I know we have to be careful of the very poor standards of US food and how that might impact us, but am not aware of any drop in standards since Brexit.In fact interested in post Brexit as it has been silent for a while. Is the UK in a better position (only) in that we don't have to bail out other EU countries post COVID?It was such a hot topic and it's almost as if it's been forgotten.

Earl Aelfheah Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I?m referring to US trade deal, which seems to be our only real opportunity to make up for (a small percentage) lost trade. Looks like we?re heading for a ?no deal? exit from the worlds biggest trading block.

Earl Aelfheah Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Not a brexit thread though. Just saying cheap chicken looks likely to persist for quite sometime.

Bic Basher Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The only issue I have is the narrow pavement outside when the school closes is going to be rammed with pupils. It's well used with pedestrians who head into Sainsbury's via the park.
