Eh? I dont get it sean.

Anyway it seems there has been enough interest for this to have been a stand alone thread.

Im pleased about that as he seemed a really nice guy and always good fun. I look forward to lots of bbc tribute repeats. Always good value.

I liked Keith Floyd purely for the fact that he simply spent the majority of his life f_cking about in foreign climbs. No one, and I mean no one, could pull off and inspire me to wear a safari jacket both at the same time.


I too saw Keith meets Keith and truly felt sorry for both Keith Floyd and his daughter. I felt sorry for Floyd because Keith Allen was so letcherous and I felt sorry for his daughter because her reunion had turned into a circus.


Ironically my DVD player of many years died last night half way through a Foyles War box set.


I'll be raising a glass to both legends tonight. R.I.P Keith, and you too DVD player.

My sentiments exactly Mic Mac.

"Mick - I was just suggesting that we don't get too reverential towards the man - he wasn't noted for his own respect of etiquette after all"



Ok no worries Sean, I was posting from my mobile phone at the time so had not seen Bob's post, so not clear what you meant.

Must be something about being a "Keith"...Floyd/Richards/Moon all took/take things to excess...


R.I.P. Keith, you were quite a character in an era where characters are becoming thin on the ground.

I liked Floyd from his first shows, befor him all the top Chefs traveld the world staying in 5 star hotels and eating in at least 3 star michlin restraunts eating poncy food at over inflated prices. Floyd turns up at any major city world wide heads for the back streets and meets the local and proper people Top Man, did it all first, R.I.P KF

Bob S

Keith Floyd was a total genius, honest, natural and rock and roll and deserves to be "on the front page" in The Lounge.


When Keith met Keith is on Channel 4 catch up and is brilliant on a number of levels, not least in reflecting on his legacy (constant mindless celebrity chef drivel by comparison). Strangely prophetic that it was broadcast last night and asks whether he is still alive.


A fitting bow at the final curtain. Legend.

    • We are talking Sunday not Saturday! Is Saray the one opposite Brockwell Park? Think it is - always quiet when we have been there but we eat early - forgot that one. Thanks. Food was ok not bad not good but staff are nice - that was six  months ago. Ohh excellent as you are a veggie too.. Will check out Dai Due Fratelli - thanks. No Thai I am referring too is up a few shops from Oxfam Book Shop… 
    • I think the Italian you are talking about was the old pizza place which is now closed and chicken shop in it's place? There is a nice Thai restaurant called Chern Thai on Grove Vale that should be open at lunchtime Saturday. I am veggie too btw. Peachy Goat in Herne Hill is good, but depends on the ask as it's kinda burgers and pasta and not the cheapest. I tried the Turkish in Herne Hill, Saray, round the corner Saturday before last and will be quiet but the owner is super sweet and it's not expensive. If you are happy with pizza / pasta, you could also do Dai Due Fratelli which is good food, friendly and attentive service at good prices on Lordship Lane.
    • Thanks pinkeyes - not what we are looking for lunch on Sunday. Prob saved Eats Dulwich time too! umm not sure what to do about Love Dulwich - gather guys and staff that ran it no longer do— not impressed with bloke I spoke to and doubt it will be busy on Sun - would love to be proven wrong ….. just have a bad vibe but we will see. Never had a problem with Vietnamese place as been there many time - but not for six months - might just trot down on Sat and see if staff are still the same. Johnnies have new team as well! Gail’s closed - that is not a surprise as was going down hill when I last went. Well folks, can anyone suggest anywhere else? That offers more than a green or mixed salad for my vegetarian folk? Can be Asian or Thai as well - anyone been to the place on Half Moon Lane near Bookshop or has that changed hands as well.. Might just settle for pizza in West Dulwich along Rosendale Road unless they have changed chef and hands. Must be somewhere in East Dulwich that caters for the odd vegetarian - maybe not but find it amazing that nothing in East Dulwich.           What is the Italian like in the side road by East Dulwich Station? Think folk have mentioned it was good - no idea what it is called.
    • Yes, that was why I deleted my post! Only not in time, it seems! I realised I had mixed up two restaurants!
