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.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
