I like Honest better than the other three (Meatliquor, Bleecker St and Patty & Bun).


Also a fan of Five Guys, Burger Bear and Lucky Chip- but still none beat Honest for me.


Their signature 'Honest' Burger is still my favourite in London.


Might be the quality of the meat (32 day aged sirloin from Ginger Pig).

Looks like the upstairs restaurant at John the Unicorn hit a brick wall. The chef (ex-Opera Tavern) is moving on. TBH while the food was great, it wasn't really working... never seemed busy, really weird d?cor and furnishings, and possibly the wrong location.


Will be interesting to see whether they carry on down the "posh food" route, or try something else.

Doesn't give the impression outside or downstairs of being posh so

posh food upstairs wouldn't work IMHO.


There must be something to do with that space

Quite... as good as it was, it just seemed rather incongruous with both the style of the pub, and the kind of people who are going drinking in that part of Peckham (young, student/arty, clubbing types).


I suspect basic pub food at around the ?10 mark would be more popular. The upstairs area is large... maybe a dancefloor on Fri/Sat would work?


Speaking of Peckham... there's a rather unusual little place in Copeland Park called "Oi Spaghetti + tiramisu"... just a couple of tables inside, and a tiny open plan kitchen. Three or four pasta dishes to choose from - and yep - tiramisu for pudding. Very cheap. BYOB. Pretty decent.

Oh that's a shame, the food was great.


But yes, a very weird space.

A new pizzeria, brought to you by the Peddler people, will be opening in a fortnight on Bellenden Road, where the short-lived Trio cafe/children's play area was, according to the man I spoke to in there. I think it will be called something like "Beautiful Boy Pizza". Seems light and airy and roomy inside. Good luck!

Oh good... hadn't heard any news for a while so wasn't sure if that was still going ahead. Not sure the area really needs another pizza place, but I'm sure we'll be using it if the food is good.



Something is going on in the shop on the corner between Peckham Refreshment Rooms and the station. Big horse-shoe shaped bar in the middle...

I heard that the women's clothes Mrs Robinson shop (not the furnishing one) might be taken over by a new cheese shop! Can this be right??? There already is one in ED so it seems a bit brave to take that on, not to mention M&S. But good luck to 'em - it'd be a nice little foodie corner if it's true. Though I'm sorry to see that Mrs Robinson move back into one premises as I liked the clothes offshoot.


Incidentally I hope that council office rumour turns out to be true - always seemed odd that such prime retail space was used for offices. You never see anyone going in or out so it didn't really seem to justify a high street frontage.

Jeremy, pretty sure that's Ali Baba (juice stall formerly in the alley off rye lane) opening up a juice/cocktail bar.

      Recommended roofer (Danny)

      By markdanielallen · Posted

      Danny re-tiled and generally cleaned up the roof tiles on our front bay in SE22 a few weeks ago. He was fairly priced, and although the scope of the work changed slightly (something we couldn't have foreseen before removing the existing tiles), the price remained the same for the job. He and a colleague worked hard for three days (one more than initially planned) through pretty grim weather. With anything unexpected, he came to me with solutions rather than problems. They were polite, courteous, and left the site as tidy as they could after cutting roof tiles in the driving rain!

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Perhaps first leak was caused by a combination of faulty rendering and a hole in the felt so re-rendering was able to fix it. This course of action wouldn't solve your current problem, it does sound like a separate issue. His guarantee would only cover the rerendering not any hole in the felt. Sorry this isn't what you want to hear.

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      I can't speak about other places but as someone who uses Mind in Forest Hill, these small studios are having a boom due to increased working from home.  Now I can work two days a week at home, I can use them at lunch time or early evening, it is a short walk from home so I can get changed and shower at home (so the studio does not need a big changing room or showers like a traditional gym),  whereas before Covid it would have a  been weekend only thing for me. I asume there are many like me so they can make a small space finacially viable. I am biased but Mind is great, it is a very inclusive woman friendly space, classes are very reasonable for instructor led classes, (there are different packages but you can get 10 for £100 if you oay in advance) and the fact there are very few bells and whistles keeps it affordable.   I prefer smaller studios as you don't want big classes for pilates and yoga as you need instructors to be able to see everyone and assess and adjust form for safety.

      I see a gap in the market and a stall in North Cross Road...
