I'll answer this if I may Admin. We are hoping to run the vote again this year, we hear all the bars are jealous of the trophies behind the bar at the Black Cherry and Bishop and so it would be good to do so. We maybe having some other East Dulwich awards too and if it happens then you'll be the first to hear about it. Voting will probably start at the end of November, beginning of December and we may also be looking for sponsors to help us with getting this going.


If you have any ideas for categories for local awards then please let us know, nothing negative please like "shop most likely to fail in the next year". All serious suggestions considered.

A few ideas...


1. Best Bar - Black Cherry, Liquorish

2. Best Pub - The Bishop, The Plough

3. Best Restaurant - Palmerston, Franklins

4. Best Night - Comedy Club, The Gooose

5. Best New Addition - Balfe Bikes, Davina Shoes

etc...


Have a Gold/Silver/Bronze medal system?


Note: The names of the venues are stated to make a distinction/give an idea of where nominees could be placed.

I can see PeckhamRose is thinking along the same lines as me.

Should definitely differentiate between the pub and the bar, if only to keep the old duffers happy when someone suggests adventure!


Like the food sub categories idea, how about Best Burger/Roast/Curry/Pasta/Cocktail/Pint/Breakfast/Soup/Kebab..etc etc.


...and not sure if it was done before but after reading the mural post how about best local Councilor? I'm sure some would be tempted to suggest that the standard would be pretty low but a little more competitive tension and free PR on an annual basis might see a gradual improvement over the long term!

God at this rate everyone will get a prize! How about best East Dulwich based covers band? ;-)


Like the idea of best bar person, and with all my old crew gone, Rueben is getting my vote.


Will be interesting this year, my usual vote of CPT, will probably be changed, would have been Plough, but Mag has made a late surge just at the same time the service at The Plough seems to have gone a bit tits up...

Good points there Keef. But I think the Plough deserves it this year overall. When you consider what a horrible dump it was before the revamp. OK, they need more staff and it seems the good folk of Dulwich do love a moan about the Sunday roasts but when you think what it used to be like. You'd have crossed the road to avoid it.

I really like the new Mag but I think the awards have come a bit too soon this year for it to be worthy of my vote. Maybe next year and certainly if they keep up the good work they've put in so far.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
