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.

But they haven't named it Megan's on Lordship Lane!


They've named it Megan's on The Lordship!

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'

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
