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.

      It very well may be the cat that lives at Neighbourhood vet?

      He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days. Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.

      I took it to mean that he was going to present all sides of the argument (for want of a better term) rather than just giving his own opinion. I didn't take it to mean that he was calling "his own views" balanced.

      I just did this survey. There are a number of problems with it. For example, in at least two questions you have an option "other, please specify" but there is no way to specify what the "other" is. Also, you have several questions where if you have nothing appropriate to answer, you get a statement "this is a required question", or words to that effect, so you have to put in something like "nothing" in order to move on. Can I suggest that this is likely to confuse people so they just give up half way through? Maybe you should test it out on a few people before going "live" with it?
