My son was at the Lido this weekend - it was mobbed as you'd expect. However, the strange thing is that the excellent cafe that used to be there has gone. Asking the manager the story is, apparently, that they're looking for a suitable caterer to take over the franchise but, so far, haven't found the right one.


Seems like a good opportunity for budding caterers out there?


East Dulwich Deli / Luca's / Blackbird Bakery / Herne Tavern / Petit Chou / Green & Blue - all provide good grub at different price levels. Any one could probably make a good go of it.

It is very much dependent on the weather, but a few years ago they had BBQs Friday and Saturday nights they were limited to 500 per night and each night a sell out at a ?10 per head it was great money they were making for cooking a few sweet corn etc.

Not many swam maybe 20%, and the rest sat at tables with a storm lamp or torch. Because it was a Friday night it extended the week-end somehow.

      Fireworks

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
