We have an adult birthday outing next week and looking for a place to have a nice meal but where kids (7 and 3) will enjoy themselves too. Not a cafe but not anywhere with posh glasses to knock over either! Walking distance around East Dulwich. Is there a decent Italian? Or anyone been to the Great Exhibition with kids?


We usually go to the Plough as there is a nice outdoor space for kids - but the food is really just chips etc. Hoping for something a little special?

I second Rocca. Lovely inside, reasonably priced. Really child friendly - my mum and dad take my children there every week for ice cream and are so familiar with the waiter he has been giving advice on primary schools!


Food is very fresh and tasty too

I cried when I saw the new Menu. My favourite Eating /water hole now has nothing for me. I am a veggy and don't like Goats Cheese. There's a lot of us who don't like it. And 1 option for veggies is like a little concession? So If I want to eat out two days running I have eat the SAME thing? Very Sad Day. I know a lot of you on here hate veggies - so you have a laugh I expect you are also the ones who say we shouldn't celebrate the mis-fortune of others when her name is /thatcher. Oh and The Sunday Roast - Veggie Dish? The Same Goats Cheese Flan!
Rocca is brill. I love the beef shank ravioli and our toddler loves the pescatore pasta - the waiters are fantastic and always very impressed with my son picking through clams and mussels by himself! Rocca is now our staple special family occasion restaurant.

On ll same side as the hospice shops, down towards gg roundabout


We find them quite tolerant at quiet times

Can get hummous and pitta as soon as you sit down which is a boon

Sharing several meze keeps everyone happy and mr f gets grilled meat - I am a veggy but like lots of little dishes like cacik, grilled halloumi, borek

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
