The East Dulwich Tavern is in the top 10 for it's category across the whole of London.

Go ED!


Many Thanks,


S.A.

Oh god, their sausage rolls....


Only problem with them is one is never enough - two is a little too much. Down with the deli, they encourage gluttony

???? didn't say it was overpriced but that it was expensive - different implications.


I stand by my statement re sausage rolls (eating one at present) and the ham. All deli's tend to be at the higher end of the price range and I don't find EDD off the scale for the quality they provide.

Proles eat hi fat lo priced locally produced shite from shops with "pound" or "cutter" in name = should be banned


Middle classes eat hi fat high priced imported shite from shops with a mission statement = nominated for awards


How does that sit oh Guardian readers ?

I don't understand the problem - they sell food which tastes nice. Yes it's quite expensive, but if you don't like it don't shop there, there are plenty of other options around locally.


Snorky - come on, not the middle/working class clich?s again... next thing you know, someone is going to be berating it for being "white".

I will readily admit that when I was a student, Gregg's range of warm stodge was a convenient and cheap staple... but it doesn't exactly taste good, does it?


There's nothing wrong with spending your money on nice food, if that's what floats your boat. Snorky, you've admitted before to buying stuff which I would consider a complete waste of money. So each to their own.

It isnt about buying good or bad food, it is about buying something because you genuinely are misguided in believing it is better than what is sold in one of the chain bakers like Greggs. Some people are just snobs, they do it because they can, they dont mind wasting money, it makes them feel good. Why not just own up and admit it ED'ers!

WTF is going on here? Are people GENUINELY saying that the salt/water/fat products of Greggs are genuinely tasty and no worse for you than some well made bread, olive oil and salad? Can you not - with no guidance from anything but your tastebuds - tell the difference between a sausage roll from EDD and one from Greggs


If you genuinely think there is no difference or Greggs is better, it is not snobbish at all to suggest you are deluded. A suasage roll from Greggs is a thing made from balance sheets, of hate for it's customer, from the bowels of hell. Cut one open. Look for the suasage meat. If you find some... LOOK AT IT! What the hell do you think that stuff is???????


now, shite can hit the spot. By all means say it's your favourite thing. That's not an issue. But don't say it's no worse than a well made sausage roll. Because it emphatically is


Stop hiding behind puerile insults at sandal-wearing Guardian readers, get over the chip on your shoulder and use your senses for the love of god

Come on - I've been eating and enjoying good food for over 50 years. I'm price conscious and quality conscious but not misguided unless my taste buds are totally shot. I am prepared to bet that an objective blind tasting of almost all (I'd probably say all - but leave an opening for others to disagree) EDD produce - sausage rolls, chocolate brownies, sponge cakes, walnut loaves and their ham against Greggs produce would give EDD a win every time.


I wouldn't assert that there's a straight linear relationship between the quality and price at each establishment but ?1.75 for a meaty, herby flaky pastry wrapped sausage roll - that weighs I'd estimate a good 6 ozs and is made on the premises at EDD is good value. ?1.00 for a industrially produced flaccid, pink and flavourless sausage roll with stodgy pastry and warmed over in the microwave at Greggs is only VFM if you're:


a. Stoney broke and unable to spend an extra 50p or so


b. In dire need of something to ease the pangs of hunger.


c. There's no alternative supply of edible food.


I have eaten Greggs SRs - in Brum when conditions b. & c. applied - but not on LL with EDD 50 yards away.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By trinidad · Posted

      What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.

      When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
