Just walked past and they're inviting people in to sample the food - had some yummy foccacia bread pizza. Their opening night is tomorrow. They all seemed lovely in there and their prices are pretty fantastic for east dulwich - ?4-6 for a plate of pasta or a pizza. I can see myself popping in there regularly when I fancy a quick bite to eat out, just hope it can survive off the beaten track unlike Springers.

So why did they have to auction the property instead of selling the business?

Every business needs an edge and without one a restaurant that people have to go out of their way to get to (ie walk away from the bars in Lordship Lane) is not going to survive.

We live 3 minutes away eat out at least twice a week and supported Springers for 10 years but it was always "We haven't been to Springers for a while let's go there" not "why don't we go to Springers because it's got a good atmosphere/serve really good food"

I popped in yesterday to pick up a takeaway menu but he didn't have any yet - he's getting them today.


The menu looks good and pizzas seem to be all ?4-?7. Really lovely guy running the place. I asked about an unusual dessert I saw under the counter and he insisted I just try it but he wouldn't take any money from me. And it was fantastic.


Looking forward to trying his pizzas....

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By Insuflo · Posted

      It does seem a common business strategy these days. River Island has just announced a similar restructuring: closing 33 shops and demanding that the landlords of a further 71 locations take a haircut.

      The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷

      GROOMING GANGS INQUIRY VOTE The full list of 364 Labour, Green, and Independent MPs who voted AGAINST holding an inquiry into the systematic rape of young British girls

      By Moovart · Posted

      An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.
