WOW ! First time today we have been able to try the Patch ( the old Mag - - no comparison!) and what a lunchtime treat! Just a fabulous menu and the food was exquisite - well done you lot especially the very talented Masterchef Champ Keri Moss and her chefs! Couldn't fault anything! (Hake and the Duck were the two chosen dishes with a side of seasonal veg! Will be back ASAP!!

Afraid we didn't rate it when we went :-( it's the age old issue of whether kids are welcome and in Dulwich it's a bit dangerous not to cater for them when the midday rush is usually only families with rugrats. We went at midday a few weeks ago and every table was filled with families yet there was nothing on the menu that remotely suited a toddler, she ended up picking at al dente vegetables and a very rich gravy which was to our taste but not good for her. Don't expect places to have kids menus or to openly embrace them with stickers and colouring in (I always take lots of entertainment for my kids when I eat out) but it was a bit off putting having nothing for her to eat...red cabbage and hard sprouts aren't really the types of veg she would eat. The staff were pretty brusque and when I asked about hiring the room upstairs they dismissed me saying it wasn't the right time to ask. I found it all a bit uncomfortable to be honest. The food was nice enough and may give it one more shot but will def be leaving the kids at home!

ToastED sets itself up as a destination restaurant with exciting food and they have children's food at lunchtime, a colouring table to help distract them, and are very welcoming. Franklins are very sweet with babies and small children at lunch time. It can be done.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
