Went in yesterday and today in afternoon for one of their wonderful lemonade, vanilla and cream sodas - nectar of the gods! Amazing. Just like popping into a bar on the continent. Such a lovely experience. And they're so welcoming - they love to chat and get to know you. And their enthusiasm is infectious. I think this is one of the most interesting developments in Lordship Lane in a long time. It was a very special experience and I hope they'll be a great success and stay with us for a long time.

Haha, I thought the same, I suppose it's a vegetarian option that isn't goats cheese.


I actually find it a very annoying modern restaurant affectation to write menus like that. We're paying for it, the least you could do s be a bit more descriptive.

this sounds like a popular Indian dish but as you say, difficult to tell from the menu (and I generally quite like the simplicity of modern menus). However, they tend to leave me thinking that I must be quite uncultured as I frequently have to consult google to find out what the ingredients actually are. *embarrassed face*


Am very jealous of their elderflower haul, mine are nowhere near ready for picking yet.

Tried Toast.e.d for lunch today.


Very friendly and informative staff. Two good and value for money glass of wine from the tanks plus two "on toast" dishes - mashed avocado and a made on the premises cream cheese with honey. Both delicious. Chatting to staff the evening menu sounds good - the wood fired over looks intriguing, they're intending to cook their own bread in it plus roast the odd dish.


Overall an impressive start - I wish them well and will return for a proper meal soon.

I have been twice - once for a morning coffee/brunch and last night for a late drink (Brockley Pale Ale, not wine in this instance)


As this forum will show, I was a lifelong supporter and customer of G&B. And if they open up a new venture I will go there too, and don't wish any comments to be construed as criticism


But the atmosphere is noticably buzzier. Could be the lower area now having diners, could be the wine tanks, could be the new business buzz.


But I like it a lot. The staff and owners are proactive and keen, but not pushy.


As Marmora Man says, the wood fired oven is interesting, both visually and potentially (from a food perspective)


Thumbs up

Yesterday I picked up a bottle of vat red, just to check it out. And first impression is that they're on top of their game - these guys know about proper customer service - the type you only see at Claridge's, Bread Street Kitchen, Duck & Waffle - 100% attentive and friendly but not overdone.


And the wine? It definitely benefits from a half hour airing, but it was perfectly acceptable and improved by the mouthful (cherries, blackcurrants, etc.) At ?4.70, I'll be back for more.


Well done, ToastED . You done good.

Just picked up one of the "bin ends" for a ?5 and spoke to Abel who was amazingly informative, friendly and provided top customer service i have not had for a while..


Can't wait to go to one of the wine tastings.


PS: the bin end is amazeballs. And tastes even better supporting our local people rather than the supermarket.

We went last night and were really impressed by the buzz, vat wine and the food - it was absolutely delicious.


I didn't know what a lot of things on the menu were, but the waitress was very helpful and knowledgeable and we were glad that we experimented.


We loved G&B but I'm so pleased that the idea has been reincarnated successfully.


It is also great value.


We will definitely be going back for more!

We had lunch there today after hearing great reviews and although food was really great, think they are still getting through niggles. We ordered 3 toast dishes and a kids plate. It took over an hr to arrive and in the end they didn't give us one of the toast dishes. Friendly staff and good food so won't be put off trying them again. Just not on a sat with a hungry toddler.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By LondonFermentation · Posted

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
