Due to this topic being excessively long, a new 2024 "New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham" has been opened here. Please continue the discussion there.

Yep. Twice. First time I thought service was poor, atmosphere weird and drinks expensive. But that was close to opening so I gave it another chance a while later. Sadly, found it the same.


But others like it, and the food, so might be that it's just not my cup of tea.

Just had a ?6.95 lunch at the Cherry Tree. Incredible value for two very nice courses and a good glass of wine. Then wandered round to fabulous fire and ice (or whatever its name is) for 3 scoops of outstanding icecream for ?2.50. Both places are good enough that I will certainly be going back even after the introductory offers are finished.

Ate at Pedlers last night and we had a great meal. The team there are so friendly & enthusiastic. $ of the 6 dishes were great, 1 was very good and 1 was disappointing (but to be fair we decided afterwards that none of us was a big celeriac fan to start with so maybe not the best choice to have made!). The various gin drinks we tried were lovely. All in all a lovely time, well worth going to. Loved the cosy "snug" which is tucked in an alcove and all wallpapered/painted a dark green colour. Lovely place to sit if you are a party of 6.

As of tomorrow Blue Mountaain on North Cross rd in ED will be open evenings as a Jamaican restaurant!!


The occasional Jamaican food they do for lunch is always great so I'm really excited. Apparently hey hope to do take away as well eventually.

    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
    • Generally wild flowers which are indigenous to the UK are more likely to be supporting more wild life than introduced species, more commonly found in gardens, simply because wild life hasn't had time to adapt to it. Although of course many introductions which flower will be supporting pollinators more generally. (This would also be true of native as opposed to introduced tree and scrub species). And I suspect plants which are flowering over public space, even if rooted on private private, are being removed to stop them setting seed in public space. [Although many might see that as a good thing if the plants have merits of their own).
    • Good question. I think the benefit of some wild flowers is that they appear earlier in the spring and provide nectar for insects coming out of hibernation. Also, natives have evolved with the insects, some of which can only survive with certain native plants. For example, some species of  caterpillars need a specific native plant for their food. Having said that, I've seen lots of pollinators having a field day on some non native flowers. My bees love my verbena bonariensis for example.
    • Genuine question- are wild flowers/weeds better for wildlife than cultivated flowers? My cultivated flowers and their seeds attract birds, bees and all kinds of insects, maybe more so than wild flowers.
