Never been to 'Turtle Bay'. But it looks like Disneyfied Caribbean-lite for white people. Maybe an apt metaphor for the rapidly changing demographic of the area.


Still, these chain places seem to have one big advantage - they tend to stay open all day. So good for families who want to eat at 5pm for instance. Options are pretty limited for an early dinner around Peckham Rye area, so I'm sure we'll be trying it at some point.

They also have branches in Brixton and Walthamstow. I once tried their Milton Keynes branch and enjoyed my cocktails, which were two for one until 7/8pm most nights. The food offering is acceptable. It's just another addition to the expanding nightlife economy of Peckham really.

This made me laugh out load. Very apt...

I'm old enough to remember Amazulu's classic 80's cut 'Montego Bay' - AND we had an Austin Montego. So I already have a longstanding affinity with the Caribbean.


Hopefully 'Turtle Bay' will provide the same thrills.

Yeh I mean they're both restaurants, both chains sure, but Turtle Bay is about as akin to Pizza Express as it is Nandos.

Bah humbug. If you really thought the authentic Caribbean or Peckham was so great, you'd live there. But you don't - you live in New Cross and post thousands of times on the East Dulwich Forum.

I just thought that a novelty Caribbean themed restaurant seemed a little ironic given the fears of gentrification and social cleansing in the area that many have.


BTW I live in Peckham - not that it's any of your concern. I probably do post too much on here, but that's none of your concern either!

Have you been to a Turtle Bay restaurant before? I am assuming not, if you think my comparison with Nando's is so far off target. They specialise in barbecued food, particularly Chicken - but not exclusively. Hence why I suggested they would be a good comparable to Nandos seeing as they both do similar main menu stalwarts. Stop splitting hairs please, Pizza Express is of course not comparable.

As if we needed more pizza in ED and Peckham, it looks like these guys are coming to a permanent site on Rye Lane (near Pedler, Rosies, Old Spike, etc)

And rumours persist of a branch of Voodoo Rays, almost opposite... still in planning I believe, as they want to open until 3am, but this is unlikely to be granted.

Is this the shop that's being painted 'middle class grey' :-) next to Mr Bao's or another shop around there?


Seeing a few windows of old shops being covered in brown paper around Nigel road.


The more restaurants the merrier - although my waistline does not agree - getting the Peckham paunch with these new eateries!

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
