We're going to cinema on Saturday night (to see the new Bond movie - very very excited) and I wanted to eat first but I can't for the life of me find out how I can book a table at the Ritzy and I really don't want to phone the 0870 number for the box office.


Does anyone know whether I can actually book a table to eat (and if so how i do it) or whether it's first come first served.


Thanks xx

The thai place in Brixton village is great, and unlicensed so bring your own wine/beer. You can't book but have to queue which could be a downside depending on whether you want to eat before or after the film. The Satay bar just behind the Ritzy is OK (not as good as Thai place but easy to get a table, reasonably priced and fairly quick). Don't think you can book at the Ritzy cafe...

Yes, the Thai place is good; if you like a good pizza you can try FrancoManca, there are Mexican restaurants, which I haven't tried but have heard good things; Honest Burger if you like burgers; a few Columbian restaurants, Ms. Cupcake for a treat.....a few Italian places - the names are escaping me. Don't forget there are two undercover places opposite each other off Atlantic Road. Ms. Cupcake is in the same place as Franco Manca. There was a Japanese place there with odd opening hours, but no sushi. Also a good (Pakistani?) place with lovely thalis called Elephant.

Definitely go to Brixton Village.


If you are there relatively early, as in eating before a film time, you might not find you have to queue.

The Thai place there is Kao Sarn. Honest Burgers is excellent, also Bukowski in Market Row. Franca Manca Pizza, in Market Row, Sibellas in BV is good, as is French and Grace, Bellantoni if you like Italian...wander round, enjoy the atmosphere and see what you fancy. Don't forget to have an ice cream from the Argentinian Artisan Ice Cream Parlour on your way out, the salted caramel is fantastic. Walk through Market Row, look at Franca manca, the Mexican and Bukowski, then into BV to check out Honest Burger and Kao Sarn and all the other places there.

Casa Sibella is quite expensive as is Cornercopia, compared to the other places anyway. Toilet in BV not great so best to go at cinema in my opinion. Think there is only one toilet in whole place which you have to get a key to. BV nice to go to on a Sunday for lunch/brunch.

Aaaahhhaaa, we've got the EXACT same plan for Sat night (I'm silly excited!). I definitely second the reccs for Brixton village. Thai place is ok (I didn't love it but most people rave about it), Honest Burgers is good too as are French and Grace (simple food and short menu but lovely), MamaLan has delicious dumplings and soup-y bowls. You can't really book anywhere but you could walk around and see what takes your fancy. I think it's a brilliant place for a night out!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
