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 :)

    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.
