Christmas Day- East Dulwich

[titch juicy]

We're breaking the habit this year and planning on letting someone else cook Christmas Dinner and do the washing-up afterwards.

Christmas is usually spent either in London or in the Lake District and I know if we were planning on doing this in the Lakes we'd be spoilt for choice; however, I don't have a clue locally.

Does anyone know if anywhere half decent is open on Christmas Day, for Christmas lunch, in East Dulwich or nearby?

I'm going to Le Chardon on Christmas Day for my lunch.

I asked this question as well - here are some of the responses on the thread

We're also considering a break with tradition and eating out on Christmas Day but very few local restaurants (apart from Belair House) are advertising their Xmas Day offerings on their websites. Does anyone know is the Crooked Well is open on the day?

Thanks for the responses. Measly pickings it seems.

The Clockhouse menu sounds lovely, but the three times we've eaten there it's been underwhelming. And ?70 a head is quite an expensive gamble.

Does anyone know which pubs are open on Christmas Day?

Funny...

There is nothing on Crooked Well website that indicates a Christmas Menu or that it is open on Christmas Day

What about the Alleyn's Head in West Dulwich?

Le chardon last year was fun, staff had party hats on and really made an effort, and was really reasonable compared to others, lots to choose from on the menu as well.

did they have a traditional christmas menu (Turkey etc) or was it a french menu?
