They're probably caf?s rather than cafes.

> Anyway, cafes who put a blob of basil pesto on tomatoes in a side salad


Just wanted jump on this and say: cafes and retailers that think salad is just scattered veg and loose leafs with a bit of garlic sauce.


NO! You're meant to *slice* the veg - you lazy cunts - into small pieces and there should be bits of cucumber, cabbage, tomatoes, rocket, and celery in it. Jumble it up and add a bit of lemon juice and/or olive oil -- that's a bloody salad.


Add sweetcorn or feta or whatever the hell you want to it after that, just at least do me the courtesy of the first part.

Whilst we're on the subject of cafes, we stayed at my mum's last night and went for a fry this morning.


First port of call was the place by the Clarke's shoe shop, but it was rammed. So ended up in the Dulwich Cafe by the Palmerston.


Was never a fan of the place 10 years ago, and it hasn't improved. Proper shit cafe.


And the wife said she had easily the worst bubble she'd ever eaten.

if it's an old school caf? you're looking for Otta, you can't beat the Uplands caf? (formerly the Ideal Caf?) locally.


Anyway, back on subject - what gets my goat is people changing their forum names and then trying to work out who they were in a former guise.

Don't the people changing their names remember who they were before, then?


Sorry :))

"I was a huge fan when it was Ideal, but last time I went there it was crap. But maybe just a bad day.

To be honest I am very very rarely in Dulwich at the sort of time I'd need a cafe, so not a big deal, but was disappointed this morning."


I think it may have been a bad day Otta. It's OK in there, he just wants to keep it a cor-blimey greasy.

Maybe give it another go..

Otta can I put my tuppence worth in and recommend a cafe miles away not many people will have heard of or visited in Dulwich but it comes highly bloody recommended. Mus's Cafe at Brockley Cross it's a classic old school caf. The bubble is amazing, the staff are friendly and the food is always freshly cooked and to a good standard. They sometimes offer free refills I've noticed too.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
