Lordship lane shop gossip (lounged)

[karter]

blinder they are blinding, the dough is made every day as is the sauce and pasta. I have known the chef for many years. He is very good. ;-)

[Huguenot]

Indeedy Karter. As I say, I do go there quite often, and wouldn't want anyone offended!

Does he make the chilli also?

*curled up in ball laughing*

Naughty Huguenot.

[karter]

huguenot,

no worries, nobody offended ( well not me anyway :)

well, actually i dont think he does. he is in charge of pizza and pasta.wine is now for sale too i think.

Brilliant, the bakery by the roundabout next to the EDT is to reopen as a cookware shop. Because I just can't get enough cookware in Dulwich between AJ Farmer where you can actually get what you need and Roullier White where you can't.

That cookware shop is ridiculous, cant believe it what a waste of a shop space

[Huguenot]

I love you two monkeys.

What wouid you have opened?

[capt_birdseye]

Clearly not a waste of shop space as there are plenty of empty shops on LL.

[the-e-dealer]

Si Mangia on Forest Hill Road are pretty good

[macroban]

I don't do gossip, but this is interesting.

[SeanMacGabhann]

nooo - not Hisar!

[Louisa]

Hardly a loss is it? Since Mr Yilmaz departed from here the place has not been upto scratch in my opinion. Getting rid of the take away as it was could possibly have been the biggest mistake ever made, although Kebab & Wine have certainly picked up on the passing trade now.

I want to know what the bogs on the north side of Peckham Rye are going to be turned into.

[Louisa]

Costa Coffee. But more to the point, I want to know what the shop on the corner of the Gardens (former electrical store) is going to become!

Louisa.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

My idea for that space Louisa, is to turn it into a restaurant with guest chefs from ED each night. Then you are guaranteed to fill it with friends and family.

So according to those figures they had ?60K a year left after rent and rates to pay wages, stock, utilities, insurance etc.

No wonder it's on the market.

[Ted Max]

Did they?

Rates @ ?1300 a month = 15.6k pa.

Rent 45k pa. So rent and rates pa is 60.6k per annum.

Combined Restaurant and Takeaway takings = 9.5k per week. Which = 494k per annum.

Which means after rent and rates it has 433.4k per year for wages, stock, utilities, insurance etc.

No?

[snorky]

could make a decent Japanese with Teppiaki innit

[Morag]

i think a lakeland shop would be useful 'for all your kitchen gadgets etc'

[Sue]

YES! A Lakeland shop in ED would be fab, I have to visit a friend in Tunbridge Wells to get my Lakeland fix :))

[Louisa]

Jesus christ, if M&S aint interested in a small suburban genetrified bit of grotty SE London, I cant see a home counties super snob shop being up for it can you?

Louisa.

I am gutted, I love Hisar, it is may favourite place to eat on LL, lets hope it gets filled with Japanese restaurant....... or another decent Turkish restuarant, still very sad though. My girlfirend wil be mortified !!!!!!!!

[themaninblack]

Nooooooooooooooo!!

Hisar can't close. It can't. It can't. It can't.

That is the one restaurant on LL that I return to time and time again. For quality and price the food cannot be beaten.

I'm truely gutted. Where can I get my fix of Beyti from when it goes?

Anybody got the inside track on when it is due to close?

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Teppanyaki isn't Japanese food at all, its an interpretation of certain Korean meat dishes, and the Koreans do it far better. There hasn't been a decent Japanese restaurant in London since '98 anyhow.

Just had an amazing home cooked Japanese meal actually, its wonderful being married to a Japanese goddess whose culinary skills have yet to be rivalled by any professional chef/master. Japanese, Korean, Italian, Arabic, Italian, English, she is incredibly skilled in these cuisines and more, I hate going out to eat as it is never, ever a spot on what she can cook!

[SimonM]

You can shop online for Lakeland you know!

[Graciosa]

I know the weather was very nice yesterday and that will make a difference but Lordship Lane seemed to be very busy yesterday. Pleanty of people and lots of the shops seemed quite busy. Maybe people are starting to spend again.
