This is my first post on the forum...have been reading for a while and thought it was time I joined up.


Now that we've got GBK here to stay, does anyone know what's happened to the previous owner, Nick Weston? Last I saw of him he was cruising down L Lane in a posh convertible. He was a bit of a character, old Nick - I remember when that place was Spaghetti Western. He changed it to Westons, then Dulwich Brasserie. The customers gradually dwindled - how many times did you walk past and see DB closed? Must have done well from the sale though.

The property still belongs to him. He just sold the shop to gbk and refurbed/built flats. Hes a nice guy.Westons didnt work i think cos it needed personality and originality. Not saying he didnt have it but looked like he left it to staff to run. :o))
the farce that was spaghetti western,went to it 3 times and every time i got wrong drinks,wrong food,cold food,rubbery pasta.on my last occasion i actually left after waiting 45mins for a starter to arrive,when i complained i was told it was because it was being cooked fresh, when i pointed out that i was getting a green salad,the waitress just walked off as did i,still owe them for the drinks.

Nick is still about, he is now driving that mercedes convertible about, quite a difference to that clapped out white fiesta!


He's having work done on the flats above Gourmet Burger. He rents the ground floor to Gourmet Burger for ?40k a year!!!!


He had some bad luck with the builders though- i think the original "head builder" ran off with thousands of ?s and didnt pay the contractors who ended up trashing the place blaming Nick for it.


Nicks quite nice bloke though

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
