Urgh. All we need now is for them to call it 'Ollie's on the Lordship' and satire is officially dead. 

I did wonder whether the copy had been written by AI.

It seems remarkably close to this ad from 'Zoolander'.

Just wanted to shout out a really great new coffee place on Upland Road next to Eric’s bakery. 
 

It’s called Aroma Lab and the owner is so lovely. Super knowledgeable about coffee and it’s definitely the best coffee I’ve had locally. Worth a visit if you want to support a new local business.

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.

 

They really should have added 'Fuckwittery is Ollie's House'. 'Ollie is a fuckwit'

 

🤣 

After a horrible very long day at work I came home..read this post and laughed out loud....thank you!

Pricey - did not go to Megan's due to price. Love Dulwich and Chen are better value.

We made the error of visiting the one in Dulwich just after it opened...you missed nothing.

I dont mind paying a bit more for something decent but honestly it was one of the most underwhelming badly cooked meals I've eaten,  with an accompnayment of awful muzak and dire dire service .

really overpriced too I agree.

the fruit & vegetable merchant Taylor's of Maltby Street will be opening in Dulwich Village after all. 

I went in here the other day. The fruit is all really good - ripe and fresh. They also sell good bread (and croissants and pastries) from a independent bakery, the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦

The prices (which are marked) are not cheap but they are fair imo. Comparable to the specialist fruit shop on Lordship Lane (Brothers?) for really good quality. It's similar prices to Simply Fresh - but Simply Fresh's fruit and veg is very poor. Beaten about and tasteless. Sainsbury's is certainly cheaper.

IMVHO they're a good addition to the Dulwich Village "retail offer".

Anyone have any idea what might be happening with 104 Lordship Lane, next to Kanella? Looks like it might have been let, and some refitting/redecorating being done - just curious.

Another estate agents.

Seconded, lovely coffee and much better than Eric's, which is great for bakery stuff but bad and expensive for coffee

There is a sign outside what was Megan's saying that whatever is replacing it will have an "all day concept."

What the (expletive deleted) is an "all day concept", and how does it differ from being open all day?

For (expletive deleted)'s sake 🙄

Absolute rave review for the food at 2210 by Natty Can Cook in Herne Hill. 👏👏👏 Grace Dent of the Guardian is no easy reviewer.

      You clearly like middle-eastern food, so Zaytoon in Peckham is worth a try. It's Lebanese, so grilled meats, fresh fish and really interesting salads. I'd recommend their chickpea and lentil soup as well - I've tried to replicate it myself, it's that good. It's on a couple of levels, but only two or three shallow steps up to the dining area at the back, and once you're up there, you're on the same level as the bathrooms. It's BYO, and no corkage, but do sort yourselves out on your Tesco Club Card for anything half- right before you get down there - the offies opposite have got wise to it now and are charging accordingly. I've eaten there many times, the food is always excellent, the portions are huge (I've never finished). very reasonable and it's got a really laid-back atmosphere. I haven't had to book, but I've seen larger parties in there who maybe did. I really can't see they'd have a issue with it - the staff are very accommodating. I just checked TripAdvisor (5 stars) and one review specifically mentions how much their kids enjoyed it. It's at 94 Rye Lane, open from 11 til 3ish (at the weekends) and is accessible via the 12, 37, 63, 363 and P13 routes.
