Pussey Liquor bar new to the Lane


Recommended Posts

I quite like the sound of a bar with rotating chefs / pop ups.


The main problem with that venue though is the narrow street frontage. It's a good space inside and it has a decent garden, but from the outside you can easily pass it without a second thought.


The name is crushingly lame, hopefully they may rethink it.

Went passed yesterday lunch time.. They were closed...


Went by again 20.30 . there was a group of 4-5 people outside. One asked are we going in?

Door was opening but on inquiring they were told 'We are closed.'


So have no idea what is going on there.?


Is it actually open for trade yet. ??

Do you think they might be reconsidering the name having seen some peoples comments on The EDF.

All a bit late now.

I had dinner here last night with the other Mr Derwent Grove. We both thought it was a welcome addition to LL. The owner (Chloe) explained that they aim to rotate between up and coming chefs about three times per year (the current duo are called Smoke & Salt). I have to say that the cocktails, starters and mains were all innovative and excellent (no room for dessert). The wine list had some unusual varieties (we braved the 'Asshole Sauvignon Blanc' - from Germany - which fortunately tasted much better than it sounded).


Overall it felt a bit like the Peckham Refreshment Rooms but structured into courses. If you can get past the name without clutching your pearls you are in for a treat.

That's what they're calling their wines? Can't imagine asking for a bottle and you don't need to be a pearl clutched to find the idea of this place unnecessarily awful and tacky. Not quite sure how this place got past Southwarks planning but with so much choice around will be easy to give it a wide berth.

In common with most restaurants I don't think they get to name the wine themselves. Somebody else did that for them (the wine maker, at a guess):

The rest of the list was conventionally named but interesting - not sure I've had a Malbec from Languedoc before, for instance, and that also went down very nicely.

Thanks for that. I'll try them out next week.

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
