That statement is ridiculous, there's not a set quota for ethnically diverse food suppliers! As ever, demand will dictate the new ventures success / failure.

It's not exactly a national chain - just a few restuarants in London.

We have a good Turkish restaurant on the Lane - Hisar.

Excuse me for being Old Fashioned..


People suggesting that a new restaurant in that area would flourish because of the 'Planned Cinema'.


Somewhere on EDF I do seem to remember that people going to the 'Planned cinema' would 'Deffo' be

going to the new pub, The Lordship for a drink before show.


Well, as the 'Planned Cinema' is going to have a 'Planned Restaurant / Bar' they might have different

ideas. Perhaps Early Bird pre show deals.


Businesses should be able to stand alone and not rely on other businesses.

I love Hong Hong, always fresh and good prices, but it's a take out, not an eat in restaurant. I have to go as far as Sheen for a decent sit down Chinese meal these days, it's bang out of line.

Spot on Foxy. It's all about the offering. And rah, that Mexican place may have closed for a variety of reasons the main one being it wasn't that good? But nowadays in London we have a healthy Mecican restaurant scene and there is NO reason for us not to have one here on our doorstep. As for French cuisine or should I say "French" in ED, well, I won't even go there.

Don't get me wrong Louisa, I would love a decent Mexican in ED.. just pointing out that Dos Amigos was rubbish.

Have to say though, there is more variety on the Lane now than there has been for as long as I can remember.


P.S. I know it's old school, but I quite like Mr Lui

Enough of all these foreign restaurants. What about some luvverly old style boozers and greasy spoon caffs to bring back some old working class solidarity to LL?


When I was a lad in the 1950s you could enjoy a slap up fish and chip supper and ten pints of brown ale for tuppence ha'penny followed by a good punch up in North Cross Road and a painful bit of dentistry without anaesthetics performed by that lovable geezer Mad Frankie Fraser. He was cruel but fair.


Those were the days. No curry or taramasalata anywhere, but we were happy.

Local businesses are reacting to the Cinema foxy. I know the Palmerston is planning an early evening pre-cinema fixed price meal. like a pre theatre.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
