New Local Restaurant Reviews Website

[Eats Dulwich]

Hi, I hope this is of interest, I've launched a new substack reviewing restaurants in SE22. In case you don't know, a substack is like a blog. The page is free to subscribers and hopefully as it grows there will be exclusive offers and meal deals. It is completely independent, all meals are paid for and establishments visited anonymously. Please read the reviews and if you enjoy them or find them useful please subscribe and share. The link is here: https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/

Substack is what many people are using these days.

It was explained in the post above!

link tweaked, it should now keep you away from FB - https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/ 

Just think of Substack as a blog, remember those? -  it's just more user-friendly.

It should be fairly straightforward once you put in your email address - if it's trying to coax you into paying to subscribe that's just the way substack is set up as a default - you have to click on the 'free' box to avoid it. Though everyone is welcome to pay if they want!

Jenijenjen -its nothing to do with being grumpy, its expecting people to use the language the way it is intended to be used and not use words incorrectly.

calling someone grumpy on a local forum, you may find amusing, I find it demonstrates your arrogance and rudeness.

Hi everyone who has subscribed to Eats Dulwich. The response has been overwhelming. However, I've realised I made a rookie error when I set up the new page. I didn't have the paid subscriber button turned on! While the reviews are free to read, a few paid subscribers will help me to make the page better - write more, travel a bit beyond SE22 and also set up exclusive offers and meal deals. Subscriptions start at only £5 a month and you can cancel at any time. If you can upgrade to paid that would be great. But no obligation of course. Any support is really appreciated.

Ah, glad you have admitted that this is a business, first thing that came to mind.  I wont be subscribing. Happy to provide free advice on where to eat!  Should this not be in the classified section?

[alice]

‘Admitted’. The forum is not a courtroom. 

[malumbu]

Admin can decide.  But if a business is touting their products then the person running this may wish to get a cut.  I find it strange that a community web site where issues like dog poo and local surgeries should be subject to guerilla/ambush marketing.  You don't need to share this view.

That rang alarm bells.

[Sue]

Something you have to pay for isn't actually a "blog", is it?

[pbg212]

Good on you for doing something rather than some who would prefer to complain about what others are doing. 

Enjoyed the read and look forward to seeing more of the meals from the area.   There's are some great substack newsletters out there for local news and exploration. Love to see it.

 

[malumbu]

Hope you get good value.

No need to make a snidy remark...

I  enjoyed reading your reviews!

What are you going to do when you run out of local places to eat? Start at the beginning again?!

[Sue]

I see you have just reviewed Arapina's  hot chocolate 🤣

More a flog than blog 😆

Love Substack! It’s home to a wide range of writers/subject matters. I subscribe to a couple of writers that I rate (Ottolenghi has recently started a weekly column on there and local food writer Helen Graves is on it too.) With a paid subscription you get the full article/blog but there’s also plenty of content that’s essentially free. I regard it as my own personal ‘magazine’ of writers curated by me!
