East Dulwich Road shops, and Crown House

Recommended Posts

First post on here having recently moved into the PR/ED area.


There's a nice little row of shops on East Dulwich Road, with the Flying Pig (really really like the beer selection, food a bit hefty for me, and the staff could be improved immeasurably by adding a notepad to their tools), Aneto Cafe (lovely people, hope it works out for them but worry about quite how much they can achieve in that tiny kitchen), picture framers (again, brilliant people there), plus bike shop, newsagents, fish and chips etc. Among these are a couple of vacant shops, one which has now been let/sold which was previously the launderette, and has a lovely Laundromat sign that could well stay were a hip/wannabe hip bar/restaurant move in.


Any idea what the plans are for the laundromat, and or the other vacant shop?


Much of the gossip on here revolves utterly understandably, around Lordship lane, but there's this mini-hub here which has some lovely places and may get even better depending on what comes into these shops (don't take this as a failure to acknowledge the importance of a launderette to many many people, it's simply that when we moved in it had already closed, and anything is better than nothing in its place).


Separately, what's going on with Crown House? It depresses me every time I see it but would seem to be in a good location and definitely needs some love.


Thanks

    • Their food is lovely, but unfortunately the waiting time for it is sometimes so long, even when they don't seem particularly busy, that we no longer go there. We used to just accept it, but seeing people who came in long after us getting their food before us was the last straw after we had waited well over half an hour, if memory serves. It might have been nearly an hour, but I can't remember exactly, it was a while ago. We paid for our drinks (which had come quite quickly) and went to have lunch elsewhere. We reckoned we would get our food quicker that way. We were very  hungry by this time! It's a shame, because we would like to support them as they are a small local business with great food, but there seems to be some problem on the kitchen side (we were assured that our order had been given to the kitchen as soon as we made it - we asked earlier, as we thought maybe it had been forgotten, but no).
    • This is a bit niche 🤣 I like  Kargs cheese and pumpkin seed crispbread, but it's quite expensive even when it's on offer. So when M&S started their own brand,  I used to buy that sometimes. It was different from Kargs, but ok. Then it disappeared from the shelves for ages. I assumed this was due to the supply problems after M&S  were hacked into. So I was quite pleased recently to see it had returned. But it now tastes revolting (in my opinion). I have no idea what was in it before, as I had no reason to look, but on checking the ingredient list now,  the second after wheat flour  is cornflour (?!), and it's also got palm fat, rapeseed oil, cheese powder and potato starch. And some other stuff. Plus some  actual cheese. I can't find anything online to say the recipe was  changed, so maybe my taste buds have suddenly become more sensitive, but after reading this, I'm appalled M&S are selling this rubbish. Has anyone else noticed any changes? I'm assuming they waited some time so customers would have used up what they had and couldn't make a direct comparison, but that might be a hideous slur (if so, apologies to M&S). Kargs use sunflower oil, and have  none of these other weird ingredients. I shall be gritting my teeth and buying only Kargs from now on. Disclaimer 1 : I don't have any shares in Kargs. I wish I did, I might get a discount! Disclaimer 2:  Yes I have many better things to do with my time than post on here moaning about crispbread, but I am having a tea break (just preempting another attack from those people who haven't got better things to do with THEIR  time than post on here to randomly attack other posters for no apparent reason).
    • There is the Blue Brick Cafe for vegetarian food too.
