Pussey Liquor bar new to the Lane

[edcam]

This thread will go down in history as one of the most ridiculous.

[Baggs]

I have not eaten the food. It looks good, smoke and salt know what they are doing. I've also not commented on the food - I haven't tried it.

I have commented on other things that have stopped me trying the food. I don't intend to write a review until I have eaten the food. That doesn't stop me letting you know why I haven't been based on other factors.

The only way to get reviews online is by getting people through the door. At the moment it seems like Joe Public does not feel comfortable going through the door. A real shame.

Anyway, seems like either I'm being trolled, or we are on different sides of a fence. I am going to have to get over myself and pop in after payday to try the food. Then I can give an opinion on the inside as well as the outside.

[Baggs]

Thanks for your support Jeremy. I'll see you for some nosh in Pussey Liquor to say thanks! There's no where better for eating out. Snarf, Snarf.

Seconded

V funny post too, I laughed out loud

:))

[DulwichFox]

I don't care if it fails or not.. Its success is in its own hands....

I don't see anyone outside with promotional leaflets or sample food as many/most have done.

They have chosen to make the place as inhospitable as possible.

It looks like a private club. There is nothing to draw you in..

A new business that supposedly opens only Wednesday to Saturday, 1800h-2300h and then does not stick to those times.

I am not the only one who has expressed concern over P.L. but see no criticism towards them..

Jeremy, thank you too for your support, I shall always wear it.

Assuming of course that you were supporting me as well as Baggs.

It was more of a "woah steady on, Matt C120" rather than specific support for any of his adversaries...

[MattC2885]

Adversaries?? Aggression??

I'm not gonna carry on this discussion as it's become ludicrous!

[Zebedee Tring]

Sorry, MattC, but you were responsible for the initial attacks on, or criticisms of, me and others (or whatever you might wish to call them). I didn't criticise you first but only responded to your personal attack on me. If the "discussion" (as you call it) has become ludicrous, you only have yourself to blame. You should be more tolerant of other people's choices and tastes and not resort to personal attacks on them if their views differ from yours.

I would be very happy not to continue this "discussion".

How about drowning your sorrows at your favourite restaurant? (No names, no pack drill).

[MattC2885]

Yawn! So boring and self satisfying.

[Zebedee Tring]

MattC I would refer you to the reply given by the respondent in the case of Arkell v Pressdram.

[DulwichFox]

Walked past last night.. They have now removed the top half of the blanked out window enabling one to see in/out.

Something I suggested from the start.

Vast improvement to the aesthetics of the place. Now looks welcoming. Interior looks nice. Place was full 9.00pm.

I suspect more people will now try it out.

[Nigello]

I though of going, but when I saw ?7 for a pudding I thought again. It's the kind of price point - that is the phrase, I believe - that I expect in W1, not SE22.

[DulwichFox]

About ?32.00 for 3 courses so ?64.00 for 2 and that's before you start drinking..

Not something most people can afford on a regular basis.

DulwichFox

[Jeremy]

Is that more expensive than Franklins/Palmerston/Toasted? I reckon about the same. TBH lots of people round here can afford that. It is not particularly high-end.

[DulwichFox]

Well curry club went to Dul Tan,

I had popadoms chutney. Sheek kebab. Mush rice chicken vindaloo

2 large Cobras a free grand manier all for ?26.00

Including ?2.00 tip

That's more like it

Not exactly comparing like for like, are you?!

I don't know .

Have YOU tried PL ? To even know what like for like is.

Foxy

[Seabag]

You could buy some chicken and make a curry at home, plus the other bits

All this for about a tenner

Then sit at home grimp on the forum about the price you've paid for what ever

Seriously, i'm about to pull me teeth out with pliers, so I can save the money I don't really need to save

I'll keep you posted, right down to the last ?2

[Jeremy]

I think you have finally lost it, Fox. To suggest a restaurant is overpriced because it's more expensive than a curry, rice and cobra?

Well I don't need to have tried PL to be 100% sure that its menu and wine list bear no resemblance whatsoever to those of the Dulwich Tandoori :))

Smoke and Salt at Pussey Liquor, East Dulwich

If you like this sort of thing... :)

Foxy

[MissDumpling]

I ate exactly that when I went to Pussey Liquor for dinner and it was absolutely delicious. Seriously good cooking combining great flavours and textures using quality ingredients made it worth every penny.

I've eaten at Dulwich Tandoori. Which was perfectly okay if you like that sort of thing.

Horses for courses. I'd rather spend my money on one excellent meal at a gaff like Pussey Liquor than three meals at a fairly bog standard Indian.

Out of interest, what is that crispy shoehorn-type thingy? Pork crackling? Looks quite tasty.

So would I, though it is going to take quite a lot to get me through the door with that terrible name :(

And the last time I went to Dulwich Tandoori, its standards of both food and service seemed to have dropped considerably. Maybe they were having an off night :(
