For those that were speculating that karters new "Mum" secret Coffee Bar is going to be a Monmouth I sadly have to tell you it's not. See below for confirmation:

-----------------------------------------------

Hello EDKiwi,


Thanks for getting in touch, it?s so nice to hear you enjoy our coffee. Sorry to tell you the new East Dulwich caf? is not going to be a Monmouth shop. We are actually in the process of building a bigger roasting space so that in the future we may be able to open another site, at the moment we simply do not have the capacity to supply another.


I hope you?re able to pop into the Borough site with ease.


Kind regards,


Rosanna

So for those of you keen on a Monmouth I would start petitioning them so they are well aware that we would like their next premises to be here in good ol' ED!

Of course for those of you not in-the-know the bestest of the best coffee can only be found in one London suburb and that is SoHo, the home of Flat White; a kiwi owned and operated coffee bar.


Kiwi Barista's have got coffee making down to a fine art. I don't know why but they do, just to go BMC to find out as they have a Kiwi whipping up the coffee's in there.


Oh what I wouldn't give to have Flat White open their doors on LL or NCR. Mmmmmmm......Flat White coffee.....[aaarrrrrggggllllhhh] :)-D

A new "chain" is hoping to establish just such a thing in London, but not, yet, ED - a tea shop serving hot buttered toast at breakfast time, cream teas in the afternoon and a huge selection of teas - all served in china teapots using loose (no teabags) tea. Mint teas, gunpowder teas, green teas and proper breakfast tea. First, of what the owner / inventor hopes will be many, is just off Paternoster Sq next to St Pauls. I found it by accident and had a very soothing 40 inutes between two stressful meetings in London. Recommended.

The tea shop will be alot more than just a tea shop, other goodies too.


No. 6 LL is currently being bought by our friendly local landlord/developer it seems ( sorry,not me this time).Any guesses who the developer is ???I wonder how much the rent will be if it gets a3 use over the retail use, astronomical I would say in order to cover the repayments.


Macroban, How much do you reckon the rent will be ?? The sale price is over ?1m and has offices above...

I went up Lordship Lane on the bus yesterday, and for the first time I really noticed just how many food places there are. Now it's cool that you've got a bit of everything, and it's god to have healthy competition. Biut come on, another curry place?????


That said, they rarely look empty, so I guess there is still a need for more more more more morrrreeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!


Ahem, sorry.

>>Hurrah - another Curry House - just what we need.<<


Actually we really could do with a quality Indian place - something like the Babur in Brockley - as distinct from yet another boil/steam rubbishy meat-and-pour-on-the-sauce sort of outfit...

You cleary do love the place, but don't seem to have spotted it's been open about 6 weeks now....


I think the point we are all objecting to here is that we don't want LL turning into the same sort of bland high street you see everywhere else. Bigger business mean high rents for the shops which pushes out the local businesses as prices rise. Economics, which sadly changes areas to change.

Yes - Tandoori Nights is the exception, the food there is very nice! Still not tried the Ganapti (sp?) over in Peckham though...

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
