Ha. Or "Drongo's" or "Bogan's" or. . .

Serve small portions at high prices and call it 'So East Dulwich'


or pick a cool 70s font and go the whole retro mile: http://frs.monotypeimaging.com/ImagingService.ashx?imagetype=typeit&shopid=679673&width=738&TextSize=32&TextColor=%23000000&BgColor=%23ffffff&RenderText=East%20Dulwich%20Bistro

I am guessing you are an Aussie that wears "thongs" in the summer.

This may be true, but with a bestselling cheese named 'Coon' clearly Australians are not yet the masters of avoiding potential lost-in-translation cock-ups.

Interestingly, Pom is used in Australia for someone who barbecues in the rain. After having to ask a Aussie to light the damn thing first.

Hi guys.

Thank you so much for you response and ideas.

Myself and Alex really appreciate all of your input and are blown away from the response.

Please keep the ideas coming!

Nothing has stood out as yet.(I mean that in the nicest way possible).

Please don't get offended.

Your all going in the right direction.

I'm just going to write a few words on us and what we will be doing, so maybe that can help.

We are basically two young(ish) guys, who both have had a dream to open a restaurant ever since starting in hospitality.

We are starting off small but have massive plans to grow as a restaurant within itself.

Its Our kind of project I guess!

We will have exciting wines to either drink in house or take home, also will have some exciting food as well. The menus will be small(at least at first), but will change regularly.

There won't be an ethnic background in the food, purely because We don't want to be limited in what we do.

We will be doing our best to source the best ingredients we can find, and hopefully mostly from the Uk.

We have been visiting farmers, butchers, fish suppliers for the last two or so months.

We are very excited and can't wait to serve and feed you all.

Thanks everybody

Kind regards

Hazle and Alex

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
