New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

[titch juicy]

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).

Brgr are amazing but not local : (

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.

The shop next to Mr Bao had its shutters up and people were inside this morning, measuring up. Not sure what it will be.

[Peckhamrye]

It's going to be a barbers.

[MissKing]

I've heard Firezza Pizza is going to open next to Franklins on LL.

Not what we need... inferior to Franco Manca, Mama Dough , or The Gowlett!!

Greek caf?-deli set to open at 106 Lordship Lane at end of September according to article in the Dulwich Diverter.

[edhistory]

I'd be interested if anyone picks up any street noise about the prospective new owner or occupier of the shop(s) at 20-22 Lordship Lane.

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!

[davidh]

I hear the social services offices next to the bookshop are going to be sold for retail very soon. dunno what it will be but prob a few posh eateries.

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...

[redjam]

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.

[DulwichFox]

I have confirmed with the owner of MEATliquor that they will be opening on Tuesday 13th Sept (tommorow) lunch time.

Menus available.. from window if open.. ??

It's FRIES (NOT CHIPS)

Foxy will they be serving gravy with their fires/chips?

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

Well... There are Green Chili Cheese Fries - Fries with Green Chili Sauce..

and ... Buffalo Fries - Fries topped with House-Made Buffalo Sauce..

also .. Hippie Fries - Fries with Hippie Sauce..

Is sauce the same as gravy..?

Foxy

Menu here if you can't wait: http://meatliquor.com/eastdulwich/menu/web/

[KidKruger]

No gravy is a kind of sauce.

One made from a little fat from the meat, salt, pepper, perhaps some flour to thicken it and other flavourings as desired.

The old bank on lordship lane is going to become a vets. I thought that space would have made a good restaurant or bar! But I can see a vets in the centre of 'town' will also be really useful to people with pets who don't have cars.
