On a rare day off I popped in here with my friend attracted by the ?7 breakfast offer on the A board outside. I asked and the waitress said "Sorry this offer finished at 1pm" It was 1.15 ! FFS . As the IN-SIDE board had no prices (IMMEDIATLEY SCAREY!) and no breakfast type stuff anyway we had a fine brunch at the Park Cafe INSTEAD.
Why 1? Why not 12 2 2.20 1.15 or 11.0 It cant be obvious when some restaurants do breakfasts all day. Unless you can point to a clear obvious reason why 1.00 means no more breakfast deals. Are you saying that the deal should end at 1 or the breakfast?

"I'd like the All Day Breakfast please."

"We stop serving that at one."

"But the sign says All Day Breakfast"

"Yes, that's just the name of the shop luv. Breakfast stops at one."

"Just the name of the shop!?"

"Yes, that's if there's an R in the month, otherwise it stops at twelve. Your name does begin with a P, doesn't it?"

"Well, no, actually, of course it's uh...."

"Well that'll be half eleven then, then."

"Half eleven? Blimey!"

A friend you say t-e-d, was this a, you know, date with a friend? Wheeling out the big guns with a ?7 brekkie eh. Smoothy.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
