That seems fair - it doesn't quite roll off the tongue, does it?!

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      Supermarkets have massive volume and tiny profit margins. If this were true Ocado would be dead by the end of the week, surely.

      Love Dulwich Restaurant

      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
