Bloody pretentious French rubbish. The true French restaurant was Le Moulin, which none of you gastro experts visited on a regular basis contributing to it's closure. But now something nice, poncey and Clapham friendly has moved in its fabulous darling. Do me a quaver.

I like the French House, but the decor?. Part country cottage, part industrial, part psychedelia / 60s pop. All rather muddled IMO. Should have gone for the full on 1960s look, but guess budget restricted them from changing too much. Food is good though and it has very friendly service. Hope it does well.

I'm sure Eric and Margaret would disagree with your analysis *Bob*, water under the bridge nonetheless. Once Pret arrives locally I will be smugly satisfied that a McDonalds owned French sounding eatery has arrived to rival the Clapham blow-in indies aimed at the disaffected Putneyites. Boom.

I'm sure your regular dinner-for-two visits helped them out a little, for which they are no doubt eternally grateful.


Unfortunately you completely failed to see the link between you being their lead advocate on here at a time when they needed new custom - and you slagging off anyone who moved here after 2002 (ie 'potential new customers') on a daily basis.

Pop up Mediterranean tapas restaurant will be opening in the evenings at Prettys from the July 12th. Run by some rather nice French peeps.


Happy now? ;-)

It was built up too much and now I'm disappointed. Thanks for the update though :-)

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
