Buongiorno a tutti! I have HOT NEWS. Lorenzo's of Crystal Palace is to open a second branch at 32 Forest Hill Rd, next to the Coop. Just been talking to Mr Lorenzo and his son. They had been reading the posts about SE22 needing a good Italian eatery, and decided to take the plunge. They are aiming for a June 1 opening. Pizza, pasta, sea food and an outside terrace. F Hill Rd has been looking up recently with the new barber's and the revamped beautician's place. Hopefully this will be a welcome arrival. A presto, amici! Nero

Rejoice! I love Lorenzo's in Crystal Palace and a second one on Forest Hill Road is just what East Dulwich needs, a proper family run Italian restaurant. Yee Ha! I am delirously happy about this and can't wait for it to open. And within a short walking distance to home too. Marvellous.

"I never went to 2 Trees. What was it like, apart from awful."


Nero.

How can you say two trees was 'awful' when you say you never went there??

Doesn't really make any sense.

Personally i loved it;

Inexpensive.

Not a chain.

Individual.

Friendly...

... and good food.

Ok the atmosphere was a little 'quiet', but that was ok if you just want an intimate quiet night out, especially when you don't want to be surrounded by people with pushchairs, born again non-smokers, and people who talk with excessive volume about property prices or how much money they've made that day...

(oops almost on to a rant there...)

I can't be alone in missing it?

Nero,

Ahh, well appearances would have been deceptive!

Shame i can't try and convince you to go there now...!

Will have to try MPC though, sounds good.

By the way Karter, can you compare their pizzas to the ones served in The Gowlet? Those are damn fine pizzas...

Karter ol' thing - are you failing to declare an interest here?? ;-) It seems almost 20% of your 100+ posts recommend MPT! Hmmm... landlord, trader and resident on LL?? :))


I'm looking forward to tasting the evening chef. I regularly eat during the day as it has a good value/quality balance (and the sarnies are varied and reasonable quality bread) - but I never found it exceptional, just good straightforward cooking!

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
