Toast ED - review for Sunday lunch??

Recommended Posts

Hi all,


My parents are travelling to East Dulwich for lunch tomorrow. We want to go somewhere close to Lordship Lane and after a truly great gastronomic experience at Toast ED a few weeks ago, I was thinking of heading there. However, I have no idea what their Sunday lunch offering is like. Has anyone been?? Would really appreciate some honest feedback before I book.


Although I haven't tried it yet, I know Franklins in the safe fall back choice for a Sunday lunch but my father is very passionate about food so if anybody has an unusual suggestion for somewhere which really impressed them, would love to hear from you.


Thanks.

We've been up to the newish Crystal Palace Food Market restaurant on Church road in CP a few times now, and it's really good. They have a Josper charcoal oven, and do amazingly good meat and fish in it. Not madly expensive either, starters, mains, beers, wine and coffee for two for about ?50.

Yes - their pork belly is addictive, as is that wonderful drink they make with beetroot juice and (I think)pomegranate.

According to Mr Louisa they are allegedly similar to Aunt Bessie's ready roasties, whether that is true isn't for me to say, but they are indeed very tasty and very salty. The glass always sticks to the table Vik, and for me, that's the icing on the cake. If you're feeling adventurous you can even order a starter or a side, I always enjoy the garlic bread with cheese.

My post was in response to Binnie's (immediately above it) saying that the pork belly at Duck Egg may have swayed it.


Duck Egg have had generally poor reviews on here in the past for their food, while ToastEd have had generally good reviews. The recommendation for Duck Egg's Sunday roast was (obviously) not a review of ToastEd's Sunday lunch.


The OP was asking for "unusual suggestions" for a person passionate about food.


Sorry I didn't explain my post more clearly .....


I hope that wherever they went they had an enjoyable meal! I hope the lack of a feedback post is just because it was so good that they still can't move .... :)

I recently found Toast ED and have now expeienced the Avocado on toast for breakfast and a wonderful Lamb and Remoulade for lunch.

Not the cheapest but quality fair, great service and a lovely setting. Have told all my friends. Highly recommended.

Took my parents out for a roast at the Duck Egg today and the everyone agreed the food was amazing!

Also v good value; think it was ?12.95 for the roast beef - an unusually decent portion and they got my 'medium rare' just right. BYOB saved us a few quid too.


Very satisfying meal and will be back for sure!


Haven't been to ToastED so can't compare.. yet.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
