New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

[Zebedee Tring]

That might be because if anyone dares to criticise them on social media they threaten them with legal action (or at least they threaten the website on which the criticism appears). I've never visited Le Chandelier but would not do so now as a matter of principle, because IMHO if a caf?/restaurant can't stand the heat, they should stay out of the kitchen.

It seemed to be closed last Saturday?

We've tried three times to try it out, and every time it has been closed!!

[Jeremy]

Yep looks like it's closed for a while due to techincal (or structural... or both?) issues which need resolving.

[LondonMix]

And the owner is trying to sell it like that? I knew the price made no sense compared to the contractual rent.

We're talking about Fabulous Ice Fires :)

At least, I am .....

[LondonMix]

Ah got confused.... wrong thread! The Chandelier is being sold. The rent is 33k a year and its being sold for 150k. Something doesn't seem right :)

[simonethebeaver]

It's only a 20 year lease. Who knows how much it'll cost to extend it.

[LondonMix]

Is that the freehold lease or the lease of the Chandelier. From reading it, it seemed like the Chandelier had a 20 year lease starting in 2007 (so 12 years left).

Does anyone know their opening times, menu etc?

[Jeremy]

Don't know the opening times. But we went in for lunch on Sunday. It's a pretty small menu (breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, scotch eggs/sausage rolls, and of course cakes) but food was quite good. Interior feels rather unfinished, but I guess that's not surprising.

[simonethebeaver]

LondonMix, the 'property' is held on the 20 year lease, which is shop and residential area. That's why it's so cheap.

It's the place next to blue tit barbers (with black paint) then ?

I thought it was going where the Acorn estate agent is for some reason :)

[LondonMix]

Okay, that makes sense.

Nope, it's a couple of doors down from there (towards the rye)

The one with black paint next to Blue Tit is going to be some sort of sh!sha lounge (yes, sh!sha really is a banned word on here..)

Pedler are opening a cocktail bar and pizza restaurant near Queens Road station - I can't wait :)

[Earl Aelfheah]

Nice. That little stretch by Queen's Road is getting quite interesting.

[bea1]

Yep all sounds like social cleansing. As soon as the east london set arrive the area is finished. God help all those renters who will be having to move out to Jaywick sands !

Funny how Peckham does not have a Curry House. (Apart From Ganapati)

which isn't really a Curry House in the usual sense.

Used to have two on Peckham Rd. One of which was where I had my first Curry. A Chicken Ceylon. (1970)ish

Still see the guy in E.D. from time to time. Think he is now retired.

Chicken Ceylon many a year past since I heard that one. Bob S

It was called The Indo Pak restaurant and was opposite Sumner rd. next to the Odeon.

I think the owner rent to Curry Cabin and then to what is now Veer Zara

Celon was a very hot curry on par with Phal or the very hot Tindaloo (Yes with a 'T' )

I used to meet a group of guys there late Sunday night and we use to compete for the hottest curry.

and how many green chillies we could eat. :)

Yes we used it to out of the pub in the ruby more booze may be around 74/75 Bob S

There's a new upmarket rug shop opening in an old bank building on peckham rye. Cavalcanti. Spotted the sign had gone up when I went past on the bus on Saturday. Looks nice! http://www.cavalcanti.co.uk

Hi all,

we opened last week. i'm not sure i'm allowed to post menu on here as it may be seen as advertising (?).

anyway, do pop in for a chat. we are open 8am-5pm monday to friday and 9am on the weekends.

we haven't quite finished the decorating but are tweaking all the time!

give me a shout if you want the socail media feeds - not sure they are allowed either?

[Nigello]

Rosie,

This place allows sniping, carping and any number of methods of snotty peevishness? so I think a menu of good food for a new, local business would be permissible.

Good luck!

?as well as useful stuff
