Megan?s

Recommended Posts

To Let sign has gone onto the boarded up front and builders were in there on Monday stripping out the work that has been done. I saw inside and it looked to me like it wasn?t far off finished. The menu on the website looks great so I was looking forward to it opening. But guessing they?ve decided not to open in ED. Anyone know more? Still says ?opening soon? on the website.

Could the "To Let" sign either refer to a flat upstairs or else have been put in the wrong place?


It seems highly unlikely to me they would decide not to open at this very late stage.


Why would they?

I just posted on the 'new shops' thread in general topics.

Having been to the one in Dulwich Village twice -once to try it out when they first opened and more recently because we were in that neck of the woods-I really wouldn't get excited about going there.

It looks good but service was haphazard, food was lukewarm and didn't live up to how it sounded on the menu and worst of all they play awful 80's music (both times same music must be on a loop-no wonder the waitresses seemed slow they've probably lost the will, listening to Aha,tears for fears, that warbling song 'True' by spandau ballet etc etc on endless rotation)

Do yourself and a small independent a favour and spend your money elsewhere.

I love 80s music! Sounds fab! (New wave: how can you have a name like NewWave and hate 80s music 🤷🏼‍♂️)


Some one should tell them that absolutely no-one I know calls Lordship Lane "The Lordship" though.


People will think it's situated on top of a pub 🤣


[Their sign says "Megan's on the Lordship"]

Very confusing, and sounds a bit ridiculous in my opinion.


Didn't they do any research before naming it? Wonder what The Lordship thinks about it, especially as they provide food as well.


What will happen if The Lordship is googled? And it's only just up the road, on the same side!

Maybe, looking at their website, Lordship refers to Lordship lane as that seems to be how they name their other businesses after the place or road they are on.


IMHO rather then relying on a bad experience at another branch, give them a chance, see if the management team at this one has it right rather then doing the typical EDF trick of putting a business down before you've tried it.

Lol I think I was mixing up New Wave and New Romantic music... Though I believe both did start in the 80s/post punk.


80s pop was indeed pretty trashy, But then I like a bit of trash now and again. I'll be giving Megan's a chance

If I ran The Lordship pub, I?d be getting the name of my pub taken off Megans?s signage !

Megans on 'the lane' sounds better anyway-kind of villagey and local surely more the image they wish to promote.

Still bewilders me why they think they need a huge branch in Dulwich Village AND one on Lordship Lane.

I just cannot see them both surviving especially with a the country going recession.

Back to food though...I'd rather eat at The Lordship than Megans 'on the lordship'

    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
