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'

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
