I like Honest better than the other three (Meatliquor, Bleecker St and Patty & Bun).


Also a fan of Five Guys, Burger Bear and Lucky Chip- but still none beat Honest for me.


Their signature 'Honest' Burger is still my favourite in London.


Might be the quality of the meat (32 day aged sirloin from Ginger Pig).

Looks like the upstairs restaurant at John the Unicorn hit a brick wall. The chef (ex-Opera Tavern) is moving on. TBH while the food was great, it wasn't really working... never seemed busy, really weird d?cor and furnishings, and possibly the wrong location.


Will be interesting to see whether they carry on down the "posh food" route, or try something else.

Doesn't give the impression outside or downstairs of being posh so

posh food upstairs wouldn't work IMHO.


There must be something to do with that space

Quite... as good as it was, it just seemed rather incongruous with both the style of the pub, and the kind of people who are going drinking in that part of Peckham (young, student/arty, clubbing types).


I suspect basic pub food at around the ?10 mark would be more popular. The upstairs area is large... maybe a dancefloor on Fri/Sat would work?


Speaking of Peckham... there's a rather unusual little place in Copeland Park called "Oi Spaghetti + tiramisu"... just a couple of tables inside, and a tiny open plan kitchen. Three or four pasta dishes to choose from - and yep - tiramisu for pudding. Very cheap. BYOB. Pretty decent.

Oh that's a shame, the food was great.


But yes, a very weird space.

A new pizzeria, brought to you by the Peddler people, will be opening in a fortnight on Bellenden Road, where the short-lived Trio cafe/children's play area was, according to the man I spoke to in there. I think it will be called something like "Beautiful Boy Pizza". Seems light and airy and roomy inside. Good luck!

Oh good... hadn't heard any news for a while so wasn't sure if that was still going ahead. Not sure the area really needs another pizza place, but I'm sure we'll be using it if the food is good.



Something is going on in the shop on the corner between Peckham Refreshment Rooms and the station. Big horse-shoe shaped bar in the middle...

I heard that the women's clothes Mrs Robinson shop (not the furnishing one) might be taken over by a new cheese shop! Can this be right??? There already is one in ED so it seems a bit brave to take that on, not to mention M&S. But good luck to 'em - it'd be a nice little foodie corner if it's true. Though I'm sorry to see that Mrs Robinson move back into one premises as I liked the clothes offshoot.


Incidentally I hope that council office rumour turns out to be true - always seemed odd that such prime retail space was used for offices. You never see anyone going in or out so it didn't really seem to justify a high street frontage.

Jeremy, pretty sure that's Ali Baba (juice stall formerly in the alley off rye lane) opening up a juice/cocktail bar.

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.

      We also recommend Aaron.  Very reliable, reasonably priced and did a fantastic job on our hallway and bedroom ceiling.  A pleasure to work with and left the house very tidy at the end of the job.  Thank you
