Yes, I remember there was something Mexican there. There was a restaurant there in the evening for a while - I think it was that - it certainly had a different menu to Johnnies. It probably wasn't run by the same people and it didn't seem to have any customers whenever I passed by, so I wasn't surprised it didn't survive.

There was a Cafe El Paso at #127 for years, which seems to have closed and made a temporary reappearance at #135

We like Johnnie's and will continue to support them. The kids like the sandwiches and the dog gets a sausage - everyone's happy


If you don't like something that one of our local businesses is doing, you can speak to them.

For example - you think the menu has changed for the worst/ didn't enjoy your meal/ etc

I'm sure any business would prefer feedback.

Hubby has been to Johnnies several times in the last 4 weeks on different days of the week, He checked whether did the 50% offer Mon - Weds and was informed that they were not in scheme. Talking with one of the servers he found that staff must have been on zero hours as nobody was furloughed.


Kinsella's opposite Johnnies is in the scheme.

According to the official government website Johnnies is in the scheme:

I could well imagine that's how the scheme works with no confirmation or letter (or email) but just because you are registered are you obliged to take part

Cafes and restaurants don't have to apply the scheme. I can easily imagine they didn't know how to claim or didn't want to sign up for a scheme that involves a bunch of new paperwork and accounting and a promise by this totally inept government to get some money back in the future. They gave OP half his money back to get him to piss off. It doesn't show that they're engaged in some orchestrated scam to fiddle the tax man out of ?2.43 on OP's beans on toast. The OP is defamatory.

    • This leaflet has the tone of a social media post emanating from Mar-a-Largo at 2am. The Lib Dems adopting the vernacular of the far right. Truly shameful.  What constitutes a RADICAL MARXIST? Is that distinct from a moderate marxist (lower case)? Cultural Marxist is used in right-wing circles as code to disparage Jews. So, exactly what is a RADICAL MARXIST, Lib Dems? Perhaps James Barber could pop like a low-rent (but equally annoying) Microsoft paperclip to explain: “Hi, looks like you’re thinking of voting for a Marxist…”
    • lol! The Greens have picked up a bunch of support into the last few months precisely because they have gone much further to the left. If you wanted a leaflet that made disaffected Labour voters aware that there was a leftist alternative to Labour in Dulwich, and to reassure mainstream Labour voters feel like the Corbynite fringe was fucking off at long last, then this is what it would look like.  Meanwhile the Lib Dems' solution to SEND and social care funding crises, a failure to build any private or social housing, climate change and all the rest is..."community wardens". 🤣 They really seem to be out of tune with the state of the country at the moment: it's crazy that they could have observed the comms failure of Starmer's incremental managerialism and thought to themselves, "you know what people want? More of that attitude, but with even less impact".
    • Ollie's is another restaurant concept from the same people that do the Megan's chain. It was pretty mercilessly mocked on a thread somewhere on here. The Megan's branch on Lordship Lane closed not that long after it opened for a rebirth as an Ollie's, but it didnt seem to have happened last time I noticed. The Crown & Greyhound is closed until Thu 19 March for renovations (and staff training, hopefully...). The Romeo Jones booze and entertainment licence application closes for comments sometime this week. Simba Dulwich Ltd is the applicant. https://southlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/london-borough-of-southwark-simba-dulwich-ltd-premises-licence-1.pdf  
    • I don't know whose idea in the Lib Dems it was to put round a flyer saying that James' radical Marxist (in red caps) views are "at odds with East Dulwich and Goose Green residents", plus a load of ridiculous alarmist b******s. They may like to know that putting this round has had the opposite effect on me to that presumably intended. In local elections I usually vote for individuals who I think will do a good job  rather than  voting for particular parties, but as far as I am concerned the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the contents of this flyer, because I shan't be voting for any of them.
