Can anyone recommend a pub fairly local to East Dulwich, for lunch this Sunday?

Have only ever had one roast at the EDT.


Never again.


Miniscule portions - we had to ask for more veg. Really poor value for money considering their prices.


Haven't eaten at The Plough for years, but it has very poor reviews on here.


Just had lovely tender roast beef at the Old Nun's Head. It came with lovely crisp roasties, huge Yorkshire pudding, gravy, horseradish, kale, broccoli, carrots, parsnips, mashed swede, courgettes and cauliflower!


And you can choose to have it rare, medium or well done.


Came on a hot plate as well. And they do half portions at half price for "small people" (I assume that means children rather than vertically challenged adults).


Excellent ale as well, and very friendly service.


But now I'm so full I can hardly walk :)

    • 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" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
