OMG that looks fantastic!

And Deliveroo deliver!

Anything with blue cheese is fine by me!

[Sue]

Xoco.

Another Indian restaurant?? From the name, I rashly assumed it would be Mexican .... but it has an Indian Grill. Can you have a Mexican restaurant with an Indian grill??

"Grand opening" today ......

ETA: Oh, they've posted the menu further up the other thread. It's Indian with a few additions I think.

[pilsbury]

Ha! And I'd assumed it was Spanish, was soooo looking forward to nice tapas! THe menu looks very strange - currys, stir fry, burgers, steaks and lobsters???

[Jeremy]

Yep, xoco menu looks v odd. Have commented a few times that the local curry house proprietors should try something different, but this really looks most unusual. I would have thought that if they were going for a casual modern slant, a good concept to take influence from would be something like Dishoom.

[alice]

Just back from xoco - and for me they have got it just right a perfect addition to lordship ane. Packed and relaxed

[Mugglesworth]

Apologies if the metamorphosis of Lerryns in Peckham has been posted here before but details are:

Thanks Muggleswoth - haven't been for a while - have they sorted the garden issue?

Powder Cosmetics at 369 Lordship Lane is now open. It looks very nice inside but I wouldn't really know what the selection or prices are like...

Also, I see that the sunbed shop at 355 Lordship Lane (which I never ever saw open) has been sold. Hopeful that means a real business will move in soon and make that shopping strip a bit more lively.

Fox tons is opening on Rye Lane in Peckham!

[Rockets]

On the subject of curries and Dishoom, Chai Naasto in Beckenham were looking at East Dulwich and had looked on both the Lane and also the Grove Tavern site but all were too expensive (Seperately I hear the Dulwich Estate don't want anyone to use the Grove for retail as have it earmarked for flats).

Such a shame Chai couldn't find somewhere as it would be great to have such a fantastic Indian place on the lane and would force the plethora of mediocre curry places to buck up their acts!

What we need is a Bar with BYOF Bring Your Own Food..

The Hob Goblin in Forest hill used to do this..

So did The Crystal Palace Tavern (now The Great Exhibition). It didn't have a kitchen. You could get food delivered there.

I didn't know that.. The Hob had a list of Menus so you could get food delivered.

They provided a plate and cutlery. Not sure if they charged.

How long before it gets vandalised/tagged

Hopefully not too long

Hi

I am going here and very much looking forward to it- judging by the reviews!

One of the many reasons I love Stormbird.

[titch juicy]

I walked past Meat Liquor and Xoco just after 7pm last night and the contrast was stark.

Meatliquor had no free space, Xoco was more or less empty. Perhaps they need to sell themselves a little better.

[????]

I haven't eaten there so just on what it looks like but the signage and menu of Xoco look very 1980s and would be in my 'least likely to succeed in SE22 in 2016' bucket

[titch juicy]

I suspect it'll work quite well for groups of people, as they have a wide range of things on offer.

But we're so well catered for for most of the types of food on the menu in this area- if I wanted a burger i'd go to one of the specialist places (meat Liquor or Honest), if I wanted Indian, well I don't need to spell it out.

[LondonMix]

I was at Pop Brixton recently and one thing I wish was around here was really good sum or Japanese dumplings.

[Lowlander]

BYOF - I last ate takeaway fish and chips at 10pm one night in a pub in Edinburgh 20 years ago. In the days when pubs didn't serve more than crisps or nuts.

One barmaid stole a chip on her way round cleaning the ashtrays.

Yep, but the number of places doing really good dim sum in London... can probably count on one hand.

If 'OK' dim sum will suffice, then Hong Kong City isn't that far away.
