satsuma Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Megan's closed on L.

Thanks We enjoyed ravioli at Due Fratelli (near the bus stop on Lordship Lane which TFL for some reason calls Goose Green) the other evening. Though they seem to have more pizza options than pasta, and not many pasta options for vegetarians (though obviously that won't worry you if you aren't a vegetarian!) 1 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356967-new-shops-in-east-dulwich-and-nearby-2025-edition/page/6/#findComment-1715945 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s clearly shut, with all the branding stripped from the tiled facade but the emails I’ve got when signing up for notifications are still, ultimately, coming from Megan’s.

Daniel_CR17 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Not sure if its been posted already but Megan’s closed? (Edit: Its indeed been posted by a few of you) there is another Megans in Dulwich Village which looks kind of empty as well. 🙂 Edited August 5 by Daniel_CR17 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356967-new-shops-in-east-dulwich-and-nearby-2025-edition/page/6/#findComment-1716017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 From the post above this seems to be a re-design to support a new(er) trading concept for this particular Megan's - there is nothing that I can find about either issues with Megan's stores in general closing or Megan in general being re-branded. Maybe removing (and presumably eventually replacing) the store name is part of any necessary work. What about the outlet in Dulwich? Has anyone who uses this heard anything about the sister store in ED?

alice Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) There are others in North London that have disappeared and reappeared as Ollie’s. Is it the same company? I don’t know.

redjam Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I don't mind what they reopen it as, I just hope to god they get rid of that 'Megan's on the Lordship' sign.

bonaome Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Relaunching as Ollie's House https://ollies-house.co.uk ? Seems that's what they've done with other Megans. Like an asian-ish version of Megans. Menus look insipid, twee, cookie cutter, corporate. Meh. Same same, but different. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356967-new-shops-in-east-dulwich-and-nearby-2025-edition/page/6/#findComment-1716069 Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Ollies' ick 🙄! Such a kind of psudo matey middle class branding..Is 'Ollie' Megan's estranged husband? Theres a lot of money being thrown at these shopfits then having them completely ripped out and refurbed after a few years just seems a bit desprate and wasteful. This is why I support independent buisnesses. 2 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356967-new-shops-in-east-dulwich-and-nearby-2025-edition/page/6/#findComment-1716084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds, and looks, more like an errant and indulged teenage son who backpacked through south east Asia and visited Jim Thompson's house. Probably came home with dreads, piercings and a Thai script tattoo that he was told represented 'One Love', but actually spells out 'I Am A Massive Farang Twat'. The latter is quite a common thing. 10 hours ago, Dogkennelhillbilly said: "Fusion is food. Fusion is art. Fusion is fashion. Fusion is Ollie's House. They really should have added 'Fuckwittery is Ollie's House'. 'Ollie is a fuckwit' If anyone wants decent south east Asian food, please try Chern on Grove Vale. Pau has worked really hard to make that place work, it's genuinely good, and she is lovely. Grab some wine, beer or pre-mixed cocktails from a local shop (I'm not sure what she's doing with corkage at the moment, but I'm sure she'll sort you out) and a cake from somewhere and have your own fusion night. 2 5 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/356967-new-shops-in-east-dulwich-and-nearby-2025-edition/page/6/#findComment-1716116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
