Those prices should have guaranteed that Kerry Catona at least turned up seeing as she was booked.

FYI, Oliver Boner is part-owned by Iceland hence the off-liste celeb sharing.


I might have got the wrong end of a fabulous yet useless stick on this but shall persist.

I for one must disagree. overpriced is not exactly the word i would use. i find it no different then any other retailer on our high street and please don't disagree i shop all of the time in ED. I think it adds one more option for us to spoil ourselves, friends and family. Good for OB! finally a London born privately owned shop that has proven their success.


As for miserable staff - sorry you thought so. I work in Islington and go to the shop there on a regular basis and have been met by bright smiles, a fun atmosphere and great help. I ventured into the ED shop on the weekend to be nosy and found it much the same everyone seemed to be having a good time in a packed out shop.


I don't understand why people on here are always so negative. something good comes to town takes a chance on the market and more than likely will succeed.


before you ask...no i don't work there...


See you at Cafe Nero... if you can find a seat cause it is so busy all the time.

    • 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?
