Just returned from dinner at Green & Blue; badly missed over the last few months. A lovely evening but tarnished by the obnoxious LOUD LOUD LOUD people at one table. Consistently loud all evening, with the loudness punctuated by intermittent ear-splitting banshee-like wailing that passed for laughing. There?s just no need ? they would have heard each other sufficiently at just one quarter of the volume. Do people like this never notice that the people around them are rolling their eyes and covering their ears? It?s really anti-social.


Rant over. I feel better now. Bill me.

Giggirl - I know what you mean about G and B - HOWEVER, I really think the problem is exacerbated by the bare walls and hard surfaces etc - something Mr Wee Quinnie (sound engineer), never fails to draw to my attention whenever we are in there.


Its still a fab place - although the acoustics are the only bad thing about it, imho.

This really puts me off a place. I tried the burger kitchen once when it first opened, and the sound just made me feel naucious... That and the fact it was a crap burger.

I remember being in eurodisney some years back and a loud mouthed, overbearing, upper middle class oaf thought how nice it would be for the whole dining area to listen to what he wanted and what his 3 quiet sprogs and downtrodden wife would be eating.

I found him so intrusive that I checked the next time we ate there, to make sure he wasn't eating and bellowing at the top of his voice.

I find them wearing and tiresome, and I thought it would be a good thing to carry a stun gun to temporarily silence such toffee nosed gits.

You have my sympathy Giggirl

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
