Pedler Restaurant - thumbs-up

[*Bob*]

It's not on Bellenden Road.

But just take some pictures of somewhere else you don't like the look of instead and post those up. That'll do.

I have taken photos of EVERY shop in East Dulwich. Its a constant battle to keep up with the changes.

Many closed down before I had a chance to get to them. They are for my own private library.

OMG I'm actually almost in stitches on the floor...this is hilarious...

How far back does your archive go? I'd genuinely love to see some old one from the 1970s.

[DulwichFox]

They were all taken in 2013/14 for future historic reference...

Many are already out of date. You cannot make a historic ref of East Dulwich say 2015.

You have to do it ED. 2015 Jan / ED 2015 Jun etc.

Places simply don't last that long.

I'd also like to add thumbs up and say I've both eaten and drunk here and thought it was great value for money - from memory it was ?37 for 3 cocktails each, and 4 plates of food shared "family style" between 3...plus some olives. The staff were lovely and knowledgable and the food/drinks were very tasty. I'm looking forward to going back, wish them every success and think it really livens up that bit of the lane.

Dully is ED's own Miss Havisham.

Sitting in a darkened kitchen, wearing the brown storemans coat he bought when he opened his shop on Upland Road.

A pencil behind his ear and surrounded by memories, a bare billhook festooned with cobwebs, a cake bearing the legend "Good Luck With Your New Business" mouldering on the sideboard and a faded 'Open' sign hanging on the back of the door, he pours scorn on those who woo the ED public.

"I told you so!" He caws if they are ultimately jilted, carving a notch in the mantelpiece for every closure.

Cheer up Dully for Gawd's sake, it's Fridaaay!

"There, there! I know nothing of days of the week; I know nothing of the weeks of the year."

Wot larks!

Don't worry about me..

I've had a great day.. So far..

I have been to a friends retirement bash where I met up with 40 - 50 ex workmates, some still working there.

A few beers / eats.

Great to see so many old mates. Good conversation with Adults.. Very refreshing.

Good to see an old mate has joined a Ukulele band from Rye East Sussex and will be playing

at the GBE soon.

So off out to eat soon and a few more beers... and meet up with a few more peeps.

Are you having fun sitting at your computer on the EDF..

Foxy. :)

Indeed. Missus is out on 'The Lane' with girl-friends so am luxuriating in front of tv and wondering whether Jamie Oliver really did just say 'fishy off cuts'.

This place is an all round great operation. Plates average 9 or 10 quid and the food and gin cocktails are as good as anything you'd find in Manhattan or central London. That strip is set to change completely over the next few years.

Can only add to the recommendations - had a great night at this place with friends last night. The food was excellent, the wine good and reasonably priced, the atmosphere lively and the staff well informed, enthusiastic and charming. Loved it.

Wow. Went this week. This place is amazing. The atmosphere is great. The food selection is broad and interesting. The food tastes good. The drinks taste good and look the business. They have a different receptacle for every drink, real care and attention put in. There's a pic of my G&T on my blog if you are interested. I highly recommend this place, it's my new favourite place to eat. Beats anywhere in town.

Pedler is very good. Possibly my second favourite local restaurant after ToastEd (not really a fair comparison as Pedler is a bit cheaper). The breakfasts are great too.

Been there a few times now,

Love the place and a big shout out to the staff who are all fantastic despite working in such a busy resturant.
