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.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
