Just wanted to say how great the shop looks now and how helpful all the staff are ,so informative and friendly . I had a freshly made cheese salad sandwich and a slice of their new caramel shortbread which was the best I have tasted ,its so nice to have somewhere that does such a huge range of freshly made sandwiches and salads ( not all this pre-packed rubbish .I also had a latte ,which was much cheaper than starbucks and tasted a lot nicer and at ?1.75 was a real bargain for Dulwich . I would definitely recommend going here if you like traditional shops that ,fresh produce and not mass produced .

Yes, I spotted the new signage. I thought at first it was a completely new business.

Had a quick peer in only to see the same staff still serving.


Always helpful and very friendly.. Freshly made sandwiches made to order..


It would seem where staff have been around for a while that they must be happy in their work.


More shops like that please.

Hirsts - or whatever it's called now - is old school, and that's not always a bad thing. I quite like the way it's like walking past a kids party from 1983, complete with chocolate cornflake cakes, and fairy cakes with hundreds-and-thousands. (Badger is a branch of the same chain I think, but doesn't quite have the same kitsch appeal).


In a similar vein, there's a newish place on Rye Lane called "Munch & Crunch", which offers an authentic 80s vibe and product range. I'm a fan.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….

      Vet recommendation

      By Angelina · Posted

      Just be careful to know exactly what they cover and the limits. i use Many Pets and Medivet, as I think one of the vets is exceptionally good. Some of the NHV are, but I’ve had a couple I’ve not liked at all.  I need consistency and to feel that they actually care more about the animals than the money.
