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)


http://www.pizzapickup.co.uk/


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!

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Rockets · Posted

      Which is exactly why Rayner had to go - don't be the sleaze attack dog and then not keep your own house in order - the really shocking fact is she didn't go the moment this came to light because she knew what advice, and the advice to seek proper tax expertise that was given to her in writing by the very people she was trying to throw under the bus - she clearly thought she might be able to spin her way out of it. When you look at the facts, the advice she was given and when and her behaviour in the last few days it has been scandalous and just shows the contempt for the public intelligence some politicians have. Interesting to see a very unscientific vox pop on BBC News last night but a lot of her own constituents seem to want rid of her as well and to be honest if you have to lose your cabinet role for this breach of the rules then you should probably lose your seat too. That is the hypocrisy here and why a lot of people don't like politicians because they're all the same.

      Hi all, I’m after a stereo amp in working condition. Not necessarily anything fancy, as long as it works. Thanks

      You are missing my point, there are a few here who are rabidly anti Labour.  And have lost sight of the many scandals associated with their party.  I've not made excuses for Rayner, rather I am inferring that it is hypocritical to go on about one of the major parties whilst ignoring your own dirty washing.   You are not making sense.  I expect half the country likes a drink and a sizeable number likes a vape.  What is your point?
