Shout out for the Blue Brick


Recommended Posts

Right-lovely cafe, corner Fellbrigg and Shawbury, quiet leafy hood, calm daylit ambience, nice staff . . . and brilliant non-dead-animal food. The red lentil soup is quite stunning. Shortish menu - like every other really good cafe and restaurant I ever went to.


And for louche late-lunchers like me, they serve til 6 (5.30 on Sun).


The competition? : Well, I was a Blue Mountain monkey for some years but that was long ago. The place seems trapped in a moment of its own past; and a recent bite there was literally without taste. Prettys is a great place, good food, generous portions, lovely staff. But they need to: step the cooking up to the next level (where is the rumoured new 2014 menu?), get more serious about offering vegetarian variety; and not offering a scrumptious range of soft puds (fools, crumbles, messes etc) to show off their fruit is a serious missed opportunity.


Have I ruined Cafe Le Brique Bleu by talking about it? Will I have to start queuing behind SE22 hipsters, and yummy-mums with their Hummer-buggies? Hope not. Just had to shout out for a great place and fantastic food.

It's Captured on The Rye Now. Coffee shop and art.


Not been in The Blue Brick in its veggie incarnation, but enjoyed the brekkie there in its previous life. I used to call it Stanley's ...as in Stanley Kubrick. I chuckled, naebody else did...

The Little Corner of Bliss - well, exactly


Expected a few SQUARKS! from diehard Blue-Mountaineers or Pretty-ists, but I guess people know what.


HMBoab, favour us with ye ancient Cocker-knee Rhyming for the Blue M, Pretty's, Petite Chou, C Nero, Captured, can you ?


The thing about evenings, NWave, is that "the lovely Dan" (quote dancet) prepares it all fresh, a lot of time and energy: that back-room is cookin' in several senses even when the caf is nearly empty. (Poor chap's had an op and the BB is closed til Wed now.)


He'd have to have a partner second shift to do evenings - and the history of cafe > restaurant at night, even on Lordship, let alone off, is not good. Chris at Prettys tried it, and Mel at BM twice.


I guess this also means the Brick won't go on forever. 'While it lasts', like any fine eating establishment.


Aaaaaand for edcam: ?Shout out, shout out, SHOUT OUT!? - a Jamaican term, no? - such linguistic sensi-TIV-ity; get a grip old thing, and eat up yer veg.

    • 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.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
