nunhead village vs east dulwich

Whenever I'm working from home I pop into the Golden Anchor for lunch - Such good jerk chicken and rice.

The only restaurant in Nunhead worth mentioning is the Thai attached to Skehans pub, and that's actually in Telegraph Hill.

Agree on both counts.

I wasn't aware there was a Thai place nearby I'll have to check it out.

Technically Telegraph Hill also, but only a 5min walk so i still think of it as Nunhead is The Hill Station Cafe. It's fantastic, community run and lots of different events and pop ups happening there all the time.

Nunhead home to Sopers and Ayres, independent local institutions which are my main reasons for visiting the place on a regular basis. Anyone know what happened to Rudds green grocers? Another local institution? It seems to have disappeared?

Louisa.

Rudds is still going strong supplying excellent fruit and veg. I was in there yesterday.

No

Renamed Beaumont but still going strong. Nunhead is a great place to live.

Ayer's sausage rolls make the baby jesus cry with joy. (Just ignore the 'translucent from grease' wrapper)

[njc97]

Louisa, Rudds is unchanged bar the name on the sign. I assume there's some story behind that.

Try the ones from Kindred in Herne Hill. They are superior to Ayre's.

If this is true I shall find you and kiss you.

There is another pub in Nunhead of some note that doesn't get mentioned often.

The splendidly named Telegraph at the Earl of Derby.

It's on Dennett's Road, does excellent beer and food and has a lovely atmosphere complete with Soviet tank blueprints on the wall. What more could you want?

ps - it might technically be New Cross, I'm not actually sure.

Telegraph seconded - a great pub

And if you are that far over may as well check out the reopened Monatgue Arms - in fact start there, and make way back via Telegraph and Skeehans

[antantant]

I just wish the Telegraph had some couches and more comfortable chairs, but it is a great pub, and definitely over the border in Lewisham.

The new Montague arms is fantastic, almost as good as the old. So very thankful it didn't get turned into flats!

I actually quite like the Hollydale Tavern too, but I think that's just me.

Ahh, the Montague Arms... I played a gig in there shortly before it sadly closed, and that place was incredible. Glad it's open again. The American beer festival looks rather good :

Best craft beer selection going in SE London at Bambuni. Worth the trip alone.

[StraferJack]

what? more than Flying Pig?

[Jeremy]

Well they claim to have 120, which is pretty good going! It's not open in the evening though so I guess it's mainly "take-out"...

[antantant]

Babmbuni does have a monthly bar night where they're open till 1130. Next one on Friday I think!

[cle]

Much better than Flying Pig I'd say.

Lots of decent, interesting things rather than generic, over-hoppy 9% US IPAs... plenty of South/East London, not just Kernel and Meantime, but Partizan, Brockley (bleurgh), Five Points, Brixton, Brick and the brilliant By The Horns...

[StraferJack]

Interesting

[Huggers]

Ayres do the most yummy lemon madeira cake with soft squishy lemony stuff in the middle. They also do the most amazing sunflower and pumpkin seed low gi bread which we get for taste rather than health reasons.

Nunhead Village.

That's cheered me right up.
