Toast ED - review for Sunday lunch??


binnie

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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
