Had the most fantastic steak and chips (?13), cooked perfectly in the Magnolia on Saturday night. We hadn't booked, there were lots of spare tables. I vote this the best steak and chips in East Dulwich, possibly South London. The chef said the meat was from William Rose, very tender and v tasty.
i also had the rib-eye with chips a few weeks back in the Mag and it was fantastic. started off with the moules marinere which was also awesome - for 20 quid in total excl drinks it was cracking value for really good food. nice to walk out of somewhere and not feel short-changed!

hey guys look!


the following thread covered the same topic some time ago, great minds think alike!!(tu)

Think I've just had my best steak and chips ever!


Went to the Magnolia last night (and no, I do not have shares in the place, nor am I the chef!)

and had the most delicious tasty plate of Frenchy-ness and was instantly transported into holiday mode.

I asked for medium rare and it was!, proper home made b?arnaise sauce with fresh tarragon.

Nice pile of chips and a big green salad with basil and parsley plus a perfect dressing.

Bloody brilliant


What is your "best I've ever had"? Does not have to be food....

Best steak I've had was also sourced from W Rose - sirloin, bought on Wednesday, aged for a couple of days and eaten on Saturday. Cooked at home, accompanied by roasted potato wedges, green salad, home made bearnaise sauce and accompanied by a good bottle of wine. Excellent value and no driving or parking hassle.


Will try the Mag, tho' one day.

A-ha! Maybe this is where I've been going wrong. All these years I've been 'buying' my steaks from the butcher rather than 'sourcing' them.



*amends to-do list*









Sorry MM, couldn't resist.;-)

I bought some sirloin from W Rose last year, and found it slightly tough. On the other hand, the rump we bought from Sparkes a few weeks back was lovely and tender (and I thought rump was usually more chewy than sirloin). Still... such steak procurement activity is not extensive enough to draw any definitive conclusions.

Yeh it's a shame, I should have said something really as that was the second time I've had an excellent roast in the mag spoiled by soggy potatoes, and the rest of my lunch was wonderful.

    • Thanks 🙏 I appreciate your reply 
    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
