is now open.


Popped in there last night and bought some kabanos and some russian ravioli type tings, both pretty good but then I know very little about Eastern European produce apart from Pierogi dumplings.


I get the impression they are struggling for business though - the place doesn't look that enticing, due in most part to the harsh lighting which is a shame as they have a lot of interesting looking stuff for sale.


Anyone have any Polish food recommendations?

On the contrary, The Irish Shop is mostly loaded up with tat, I'd be surprised if they were still there this time next year - the Polish shop is full of things you can actually use to cook with.

hahaha exactly what I thought...



I won't argue about the quality aspect - but that Irish shop has been around a long time lenk - don't see it going out of business any time soon. And I pop in regularly enough for my irish "needs"


Can't agree with Louisa's comment about service tho' (a nation is shocked!)


The service has often (not always) reminded me of why I left Ireland

lenk I think you will find the Irish shop has been around for nearly 15 years now and is still going pretty strong, so as a betting girl I would suggest that the Irish shop is more likely to stay around as an established business than one that has only just opened up.


Louisa.

I went into the Polish shop yesterday and purchased Polish vegetable juice, frozen dumplings and polish sausage . Was hoping they had some Rye bread with caraway (they sold this in sainsburys ages ago and some continental delis but I have not seen this around here for some time, ended up going to the Polish shops in streatham), but they only had sunflower and Rye. Interesting selection of herring and some dried fish.

No, it's an Irish shop. I don't need any Polish stuff.

I am polish and very happy that its finally open, and cant wait to go give them more business. There are many people i know here who dont mind to come with me to polish resturants from other countries. Whoever is open to new expierences and adventurous choices in polish food I recommend you to try :


- Kabanos (polish sausages)

- Ogorki kiszone (Gherkins/Large cucumbers in brine)

- Pierogi (dumplings-either with potato and cheese inside/sauerkraut and mushrooms/meat. Also sweet ones exist.

also very good to cook them and fry them with some onion slices till they turn crispy)

- Zubruwka -polish vodka made from bison grass (very good to mix with apple juice!)

- Sledzie -Herings (similar to rollmops but not always rolled-the best brand is Lisner)

- Jablko-wisna -Cherry and apple juice -from Tymbark

- Kubus -Carrot juice mixed with other fruits (either banana/orange/apple)

- Fasolka -Butter beans mixed with chopped sausage and tomato sauce- Brand name: Pudliszki Best served with bread

- Serek chrzanowy -Horse-radish cream cheese spread.


The List goes on, I will find out soon what the new polish shop has to offer but I do recommend anyone to try it.

Unless you ready to try it, and taste it- your criticism is irrelevent.

your welcome Kamila

We always have Polish food in our house ( my Girlfriend is Polish)and have normally had a few dishes on our menus at our pubs.


we find Keilbasa is always a favourite

Pulpety and Bigos are great in winter


we move in a couple of weeks so im sure we'll be in very soon

Yes, good luck with the new shop K. I see that the Polish specialities rely heavily on processed and preserved ingredients, meats and alcohol, is there much fresh produce eaten?

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
