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.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
