Louisa: "I'd happily spend a fiver on a large kebab with all the trimmings".


For such a fan of kebab you've clearly not had a large kebab for several years. A fiver ?!!


Kebabs are basically just salad sandwiches with a bit of meat and sauce thrown in anyway, just to make them seem 'exotic'.

FYI a large lamb doner kebab from kebab and wine is ?5 KK, I had one earlier this week.


The salad is healthy and fresh, granted doner meat isn't, unless you have chicken shish which is grilled, and the carbs come from a grilled pitta bread. It's a pretty well rounded meal IMHO. Titch I don't hate processed meat, I just think pizza is a carb overload with cheese and processed meat, whereas a kebab can be a healthier and cheaper alternative if you choose the right meat cooked a certain way.

but you won't get a large kebab for a fiver, unless it's a doner

A small lamb shish would be under a fiver and has enough meat in for most people. And yes I'd say it's grilled and therefore likely to be healthier than a pizza.


But am looking forward to trying Franco M as love good thin pizza (and likewise don't like any other non thin pizza)

Yes they do do Chicken doner but traditionally it is Lamb


D?ner comes from the Turkish verb D?nmek To Turn


So a D?ner kebab is simply a turning kebab.

No screaming kids in there when I popped in (guess if you go early there's always chance of bumping into after school crowd). I phoned in order, turned up and collected my pizza with no queuing. Was great pizza and reasonably priced. Excellent addition to the lane. They've done wonders with what was a cursed layout in that place. Good on them.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
