Angelina makes an excellent suggestion.


Given that this is apparently a local business, I suspect the owners (or their PR people) are aware of this forum and this thread.


Dear owners


Can you please explain on this thread or on your website:


a) where your meat comes from and your approach to animal welfare; and


b) why this information isn't already available?


I personally would absolutely 'go there' IF I felt comfortable with the sourcing policy. Any food business should have a policy and be prepared to explain it to customers. I will take silence as all I need to know and until something changes, I'll give it a miss.



(same goes for the rest of LL by the way).

Where would you eat out? Where meats (bdum tish) your standards?

I am now craving a Dead Hippie. And yes, there might be a lot of burgers along LL but they won't make you lick your teeth in quite the same way. How long ago since they did the pop up in The Victoria (?) in Peckham?


I do seem to recall reading an interview way back talking about their ingredients - sourcing the aged beef with the right fat%, getting the right bun that didn't fall to bits etc. I suspect that was in their Meatwagon days rather than Meatliquor since the scale of the business has changed somewhat.


I'm really glad though that so many of you are anti-burger; should make it much easier for the rest of us to get in.

All that is extracted has to go somewhere though - and when the wind's in the wrong direction (and in mind to create a down-draft on their roof-top vent) living in the vicinity of GBK's noxious outpourings is a tad sick-making also.

Well...

The Watson Telegraph are doing Burgers for ?13.00 so if this Gaff charges ?15.00 they will be queing around the block.

People simply have to have to most expensive burger they can find. Who really cares whats in it or what it tastes like.


I jest not.

Angelina - maybe not "exciting" to some, but not everyone would agree. I can't think of anywhere else in ED to get a good burger.


East Dulwich Village - yes the owners definitely know about the EDF, but why not just contact them directly if this is something that genuinely concerns you?


Fox - "People simply have to have to most expensive burger they can find"... seriouly? Change the record! ML is not cheap as such... but around a tenner for cheeseburgers and fries, it's hardly the most expensive burger around.

There are all sort of things I can cook at home. Doesn't mean I'm not willing to pay a few quid to sit in a restaurant and get someone else to do it for me!


This ribeye burger of yours, Fox... sounds extravagant. Do you mince it yourself, or do you get the butcher to do it for you?

I chop it up myself with a sharp knive and Cleaver.. I have Henckels knives which are very good and I sharpen

them myself ..

It is extravagant but you can get 2 small burgers out of a Medium sized Rib-Eye..

Its delicious.. Give it a go..

Well said.. If we are going to eat animals then at least show some respect for the creaures during their short lives.

Considering that well over 90% of the UK are meat eaters, I'd say it is well in step with the times.


..and also explains the increase in instances of Bowel cancer..

More and more people are cutting down on meat. 'Flexitarianism' (being a part-time vegetarian) is on the rise, as evidenced by restaurants like Ottolenghi and meat-eating celebrity chefs like Hugh Fearnley W bringing out vegetarian cookbooks. All the evidence says we eat too much meat as a nation - both for health and sustainability reasons, let alone animal welfare. But of course, there will always be those who choose to turn a blind eye to all of this.

Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
