Let's keep the thread going - that fox person is hiding behind his/her forum name - others are just plain rude and my biggest bug bear is the negativity- let's wait and see what the Patch is like once it's all up and running!


I did hear that it may not be open on 11/11 but you can bet your bd that there will be a big fanfare and hopefully a fabulous place to visit often or for a special occasion according to your budget!


Support local ventures businesses and be nice to people - it pays you back to be kind folks!


P and G

"Support local ventures businesses and be nice to people - it pays you back to be kind folks! "


There aren't many people living locally who do more to support bars and restaurants than I do. I'm in several of them most days!


Foxy doesn't hide behind a forum name either. I see him out and about often and he's a regular and the curry club


I was one of the first customers in the patch and I'll be back again. But there are major questions over the way the have presented themselves and what they are delivering. That isn't negativity on my part.

Major questions !

Sheesh get some perspective. It's a gastropub. In a suburb of South East London. If it's opening raises "major questions" then god knows how you'd describe what's happening to Coulson & Brookes.

Surely every business ultimately answers to the public. As in the people who will (or not) keep them in business with their custom.

Back to the veggie debate.


Indian Mischief was rubbish! I went there twice (I wanted to give it another chance after shambolic first time). If a decent veggie restaurant were to open in East Dulwich it would make a killing (pardon the pun, couldn't resist it!)


Some of you meat eaters seem to be suggesting that it is impossible for you to go without meat for a single meal! I find this totally weird. What do you think will happen if you don't have a steak - are you scared you might start compulsively weaving baskets or something? When I go to a restaurant I enjoy different kinds of food, not eating the same kind of stuff over and over again.

James, it's a tired old rut that's been done to death and you slot right into it with your holier-than-thou patronising stance. If you think you're 'right', great - be as right as you want, but don't ram your cauliflower cheese or nut roast down everyone else's throat (no pun intended). Add another post to the pertinent other tired old thread if you need to maintain your monologue.

That is classic. I have some lovely meat-eating friends who I dearly respect.


But I also know meat-eaters (like some people on here) who will happily pick a fight with a vegetarian by saying ignorant, ill-informed things and trotting out lazy stereotypes.


Then when they are confronted by the facts they retort with the old "stop shoving it down my throat/being preachy" etc. You can't have it both ways. Either stop marginalising other people or expect to be criticised when you criticise other people's life choices.


So-called 'sustainable' restaurant fails to offer adequate vegetarian options. Face it, my point stands.

"So-called 'sustainable' restaurant fails to offer adequate vegetarian options. Face it, my point stands."


That point stands. Nobody is denying it.


The ony person trotting out stereotypes (in this case straw men) and picking a fight is you.

Everyone else is saying, like the foie gras thread, enough is enough, please don't force feed this debate down our throats again (pun intended)

    • The regulator has approved 2nd class deliveries on alternate days, excluding Saturdays. So Monday, Wednesday and Friday on week 1. Tuesday and Thursday on week 2. Don't know when it starts but in theory it will be better than the current haphazard service. Earlier this week I received bills and other items which had been in the post for 2 weeks. Definitely not the fault of the posties.
    • has lost a Bengal cat there was one wandering around Townley Road this morning - I'm assuming it is not the norm for this fellow to be out and about solo but I'm not a cat expert... IMG_5815.heic IMG_5819 2.heic
    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond. Here's my profile https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/377081 Ping me a message if you need help or have any questions!
    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
