It's shut down.... the whole family business shut down despite some serious offers of help - I think it was a generation thing.

I'd rather like a really good Caribbean place - like The Mango Rooms in Camden.

[karter]

Isn't there a good Caribbean place down on Grove Vale?:-S

[Oily Telly Tyke]

Has the pie and eel shop closed? - I'm sure i went past on bus the other day and it was full of people - yesterday i think. Manze are you on about?

O

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Manze's is alive a wriggling just by the library. I think the one that closed was nearer to the Old Kent Road.

[eccentric]

Correct PGC

The Pie and Mash in question was Bert's at the top of Peckham Park Road. Always my favourite. I purchased a glass advertising sign from their closing down sale auction a while ago.

[Delph]

I would die for a Sushi place.... vietnamese also very very good idea indeed...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

That's one customer for the blow fish then?

Dunkin' Do-nuts....>:D

Now I'm not suggesting this particular chain

http://www.goodlifediner.com/

But a diner type thing like that - good british caffs are great but not the same thing

Smewhere to pop in for breakfast, or a a bowl of chili and a beer, but in fairly open relaxed space - ie the opposite of GBK and it's elbows together noise-fest

[lozzyloz]

Strange coincidence. I was thinking exactly the same thing over the weekend when I was reminiscing about the 24 hour Starlight Diner in Moscow.

[SeanMacGabhann]

That's the sort of thing loz

I was thinking the space where Woolwich used to be would be perfect

reason I thought of it was because I was in Camden last night (Scott Capurro's Edinburgh show - and peple thought he was near the knuckle @ EDT??? pheweee) and went to the diner place and it was just the perfect spot for an hour stop off and a chat. Their chili scores points for using non-minced beef as well btw

[neecheecat]

They should open a new mexican place; but not greasy tex-mex.

maybe something more like this:

What was the Italian place that used to be on the Roundabout end of LL about 5 years ago?

[SeanMacGabhann]

La Locandera? I think it was called

Where G&B is now and where Redgewells was?

Best draw the curtain over that mis-fire. I only ever saw 2 people eat in there so I'd be surprised if many people can post belated reviews. I didn't know the sisters (I think they were anyway) who tried with the restaurant but I felt pretty bad for them every time I passed

Looks like a Wimpy Bar to me.

[SeanMacGabhann]

trust me - it isn't

I ate there once, just after it stopped being Redgewells (loved Redgewells, as I've said before I'm sure)and the food was wonderful, but we were the only people in there. I don't know why it didn't take off, I liked it (not as much as I liked Redgewells of course. Have I mentioned that I loved Redgewells?)

xxxxxxxx

It probably didn't take off because it didn't look like a great place to eat - which was why I never ventured in ...... :-S

[EDOldie]

I ate there once but many called it the Moon.

[Jah Lush]

Ah! Once in a blue moon?

[EDOldie]

No, no atmosphere.

[Clinker]

I like the Sea Cow although the last time myself and the boyfriend went in there, the fish kinda tasted like bleach and we both had the squits for about a week after.... I haven't been in there since, but before then, we had some lovely fish n chips, maybe they are just overly enthusiastic about cleaning, which is a good thing really...

How about a Poppins or a Wimpy bar, something that isnt too expensive and that serves crap food round the clock. Too much to ask, I thought so.
