I don't really think its a surprise with the chefs outside in their work clothes puffing away on their cigarettes , or the chefs walking to Iceland's in their uniforms to buy food for the restaurants , or the dirty trolley transporting meat across the road from an unmarked white van .

No thanks .

Not if you just don't think about it :)


You'd never get out of bed if you worried about everything you might do which had a hygiene implication!


How many people do you know who have ever become ill through drinking out of a contaminated can?

I don't don't know exactly how these ratings change from 1 to 5. I imagine I can handle 3-5 but 1 and 2? What's the point of having hygiene ratings if we poo poo them? I saw the TV series a bit back. 1 and 2 are gross out bad. Thank you Government for setting parameters.

There have been cases of serious bouts of actual Food Poisoning in some very prestigious restaurants.

ie. 240 people became ill at the Fat Duck in Bray. (Not a hygiene problem) 3 years ago.


In 33 years living in East Dulwich, not heard of anyone actually been 'Poisoned' in any local restaurant.

Might be the odd case of , how can I put it... Dodgy Tum. (polite)


Anyone who eats any form of Street Food is unlikely to worry too much about Hygiene levels in local restaurants.


You are more likely to poison yourself at home through your own poor hygiene or through eating poorly stored food

or reheated food such as rice.

Try searching for SE22 schools hygiene ratings:

http://ratings.food.gov.uk/authority-search/en-GB/%5E/se22/desc_rating/7845/528/%5E/1/1/10


Langbourne School doesnt do well with 2 stars 21/05/13(improvement necessary )

Kingsdale School 3 stars 14/10/11 (generally satisfactory)


And I have heard of people being poisoned it just didnt make the newspaper. Local Authorities don't undertake inspections for the fun of it!

You don't work in a shop, do you? :))


ETA: As in, replacing the unhygienic rats' piss with your own prior to selling the goods .....

Zackly!


Must try to find article apparently these bloody things are scorned by those in the industry for marking spotlessly clean kitchens down for not having brand new equipment or something.

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!)
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
