I went there with some friends yesterday for lunch and while the food was fine, the service was pants. There were plenty of staff in there, but they seemed to lack any sort of organisation. The food took a long time to arrive, and not all of it made it to our table. There was a lovely spillage of sauce a few yards from us and the extra bread they charged us for, didn't turn up. We were going to have dessert but felt we'd have been there until closing time at the rate they were going.

We ended up going to the Dog yesterday, mainly because it was already well after 2pm (and 2 seems to be a watershed for food availability on a Sunday).


Yes, the main was indifferent, but the rhubarb crumble was better than average, full of lovely rhubarb, and one serving was more than enough for two.


So it could have been worse.


Going to check out the White Horse for next time.


Louisiana

Don't know about the White Horse but the Dulwich Wood House does a nice veggie roast - I had it on Sunday.


The Phoenix near Denmark Hill station also does a veggie option which is ok.


The Magdala usually does a Sunday bbq in the summer (hope they do it again this year) and that has a veggie option.


Hoorah for veggies!!!

    • 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
