The Sea Cow, average food, terrible experience


Recommended Posts

Having moved to ED about a year ago, the mrs and I were keen to try out the local restaurants as they were a big reason for moving here. Overall they are great but there do seem to be a few that seem to assume that, given the large local captive audience, they don't need to provide good service. The Sea Cow is a prime example- having eaten there recently (we gave it a second chance), we experienced really quite dreadful service and will never be going again. Sub-standard food and very inattentive & indifferent staff. Has anyone else had similar poor experiences around here in either that place or others..? (For the record, most places are excellent which makes those that aren't, stand out)

I totally agree... I've had a bad experience with a takeaway order at the Sea Cow.... It's a shame as I'm always so proud to live here and there have been times when I've been out with friends and we've had a bad experience.


Overall the restaurants round here are great but it is a shame when a place lets you down.

Fish & chip shop characteristics - I'd say good fish that is what it says it is, fast service especially for takeaway and don't run out of fish at 8:30 PM.


In my youth they were all run by Italians and the 'service' was more gossip - and extra batter for the children :)

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • 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.
