New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

[Developer]

Hey guys anyone tried that Flamin Mangal (Turkish) place in Peckham yet

[Peckhamrye]

Mr Bao have problems with their electricity supply so more likely to be 6 weeks. I went to a preview last night though and it will definitely be worth waiting for!

[Peckhamrye]

And Flaming Mangal is fine - just remember it's BBO.

[Dodo1]

Is this the same one as the one in Soho?

Foxy - just google for rosie's cafe peckham. It is on the little stretch of Rye Lane just before the White Horse pub.

Dodo1 - no, it looks like a rip-off of Bao London. Still looking forward to it though.

[Peckhamrye]

It's not a rip-off of Bao London, it's a Bao Restaurant - Bao London didn't invent it...

I'm not that concerned and do not feel the need to Google it..

Its not very helpful to say that one place is opposite another place..

'Need and optician ? there's a good one opposite the bakers' :)

You don't think they're influenced by the only other Taiwanese bao restaurant in London? With a similar name, and queues out of the door every night? OK then.

And that's not a criticism. Successful businesses have always been imitated. It's common sense.

[Sazzle30]

I assumed as this is a local forum and Rosie's had been mentioned I didn't need to give precise directions.

It's Nigel road down from the Rye pub as if you were traveling onto Rye lane.

Same area as Peddler, Rosie's, KFH, the White Horse etc

Assuming this is SE15 so Peckham but it might be SE22

Oh Jeremy. Bao is a type of food.

So saying a restaurant is 'ripping off' another by having bao in its name is a bit like saying any shop with burger in its name is a rip off of other burger places.

Yeah that HONEST BURGERS place. They're just ripping off Burger King. Pah!

[Peckhamrye]

Hardly the only....this isn't even recent... http://pickyglutton.com/2013/09/02/best-worst-taiwanese-buns-in-london-flesh-and-buns-review/#leongslegendcontinues

[Jeremy]

People are already confusing it for Bao London before it's even opened. It's working. It's business.

[kathrynlily]

Has anyone tried the white horse since its relaunch? Wondering what the food is like?

[easytiger]

What's the seacow going to be turned in to?

[pilsbury]

my O/H went to the white horse on friyda night and said it was a really nice mix of old locals and new folks and that the food was delicious

A fish 'n' chip shop?

Street noise has a change from A3 usage to A1 usage. If accurate this is interesting.

[LondonMix]

Is it definitely closing? Someone somewhere else on the forum said it was going to be a burger place but I don't know if that's true.

I popped in - still similar but different .. if you know what I mean :)

[DulwichFox]

Finally tried out the New 325 Cafe at 325 Underhill Road...

2 large Sausages, Chips, Baked Beans and a Bucket of Tea ?5.00. Large portions. Very good value..

Proper Old Skool cafe.. Had a chat with Turkish owners who seem to be assiciated with Sema Fish & Chips next door.

Dont go to the Cafe much but nice to have a decent one just 2-3 minutes walk.

Currently not open on a Sunday dispite saying it does on the flyers put through the door.

Very quiet along that stretch .. so might take a while for local trades people to discover it.

Good stuff. That - plus a couple of eggs - would really hit the spot right now!

[Ron70]

We went to 325 Cafe on Sat too.... Good food (with real HP sauce!!) and very reasonable.

Apparently, they don't generally open on a Sunday, however, we booked for 11 people in a couple of weeks time and they're opening up so I guess they will open up if it's worth their while...

[DulwichFox]

Yep indeed. Real H.P. Sauce !

Foxy.

Honest Burgers is opening this Saturday in Peckham. They're giving away 500 burgers including 250 to those with an SE15 postcode

[KrackersMaracas]
