...do you think there are of one of the many Indian buffet restaurants letting someone 'borrow' the restaurant for a while and turn it into somewhere people reaaaaally want to eat!?


I have a brilliant chef friend who was offered a kitchen space in Hackney whereby the owner covered the drink and my friend was to deal with the food. Unfortunately this fell through. I have a few favourite (why am I getting the squiggly red line under this? we're in England not America)restaurants around here but feel like something is missing.


Any further thoughts would be much appreciated :)

I'd guess unlikely on LL. They'd surely fear your losing them any reputation they may have. You can't just take over their location, laying all the / risk and consequences on them. Who'll pay the ?1000's in rent per month while chef friend experiments with the locals ?

My own side of the river? I live in East Dulwich! He's more Forest Hill way. There are a couple of good quality Indian restaurants but some of the others are not. It's so sad to walk past them, particularly mid-week when they have 1 table in or no customers at all. My friend was going to pay the owner 50% of the food profits to cover rent of the kitchen he was offered.


I do know some others that do a kind of pop-up in pubs that have been very popular. Agreed, it'll be best to go in and ask at the restaurants themselves though. I just posted on here to get opinions whereas he'll be the one asking around. Not sure whether street food fits his style but then the Northcote road market is going from strength to strength and would be a good starting point.

I agree with Uncleglen..lordship lane Indian restaurants are much better than Brick Lane equivalents


Why the outburst about racism. Don't understand that.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
