Brockwell Lido (East Dulwich caterers?)

[Marmora Man]

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.
