They had the best range of breakfasts around- Kedgeree, Kippers, All the usual Eggs with Hollandaise offerings, omelettes, Mediterranean brekkies, Mexican breakfast etc etc. But also some peculiar practices (a hash brown and grilled tomato accompanying an Eggs Royale. Lose them both, no-one wants them and knock 50p off the price).


Also, and i've mentioned before, they filled old HP and Heinz Ketchup bottles with dirt cheap sauces. Only the greasiest of greasy spoons can get away with that old trick. Cheap and nasty tactics.


But, they were always busy at weekend brunchtimes and one girl in particular made a very good coffee too.

Haha! I support this view wholeheartedly.

That's worse than calling yourself 'A Fabulous Little Place'.

They seem to have changed the sign now to remove that part.


I agree, that was the way I read it as well, that that was to be the name of the place - "Something Wonderful" or words to that effect.

I've posted it in 'ED businesses...' etc. but for those who don't trawl (I said trawl) the forum fully I just wanted to mention that the Butcher's Shop opposite the Plough is closing tomorrow (Sat 10th June) so regular customers might want to drop by to wish him well (he's off to Bromley).


Still plenty in the shop (though he's been running down the stock prior to move) so you have until 5pm tomorrow.

We went to Made of Dough last nite on Bellenden Road. The place was Beautiful (failed) Pizza Boy previously,


Jolly fun it was too, all lively and just how a lively new Peckham pizza place should be


Good music and drinks, and nice guys that actually own and run it, running it and 'owning' it too.


The pizzas were hot and round and tasty, just like pizza should be.


The drinks were wet and drinky like.


It's nice !

Back to the 'Duck egg' unsurprised its closed went there once it was awful.

Went back to give them a second chance (any buisiness can have an off day-and though I won't condone it in a large chain or expensive place I tend to give local buisiness the benefit of the doubt)

Was again awful with grim cheap cheap cheap sauces.

That really is a shame... for about a year after having our daughter, that was probably the most useful shop in Peckham. Especially as the large Mothercare on Old Kent Rd is also closed now.

Look forward to trying it.. I notice that the Pedler team were describing BPB as a "pop-up" which had come to an end, but the truth is that it really wasn't very good. Pizzas with sloppy centres and thin watery sauce. Sounds like the new guys have got it right. (I like Pizza Pickup too, and makes a change from the ubiquitous sourdough base)

So having lost the branch on the Old Kentr Road about 18 months ago, we now lose the Peckham branch, bad news for people in and around Peckham, nearest other branches are now either Brixton or Lewisham.

Hi everyone - just wanted to introduce myself - I'm Angus the owner of Firefly which some of you will have noticed is a new shop at 325 Underhill Road.


After a lot of planning I'm very proud to announce that we are now officially open for business!


We are selling wood burning stoves and a variety of BBQs, pizza ovens, fire pits and all the ancillary items such as kiln dried logs, high quality charcoal as well as candles, books, lighting, accessories and more.


I'm an ED local and I love fire, for heating and for cooking on. The whole ethos of Firefly will be on service and consultation so I'm more than happy to advise on what might work best for you. For example will you use the amazing Kamado Joe ceramic BBQ/Oven or the exclusive Kudu Braai which arrived today and for which we are the sole UK retail outlet.


I hope you get the chance to pop into our shop for a browse and a quick chat. We are less than 5 mins walk from Lordship Lane or Northcross Road market.


Alternatively please feel free to post or private message me on here with any queries and I promise to get back to you asap. Our website is under construction and will go live very soon.


I'm attaching a couple of photos here of our latest arrivals and we have some great charcoal if you're BBQing up a feast for friends and family this weekend.


We hope to be of service to you soon, and enjoy the sunshine!


Angus and the Firefly team.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  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
