Seacow/MEATliquor (main section)

[Otta]

It's so fizzy I don't know how anyone can drink it.

[Jeremy]

I imagine you could make a decent shandy from Fosters, by mixing it with beer.

[Peckhamrye]

In all fairness the people running the White Horse have been in the area for a while, and the old owners wanted to get out. Better the Monty people take it over than it get converted into flats or taken over by an identi-kit operation like Greene King or Fullers?

The Castle does a good pint of Guinness.Not as good as Franklins though.

And the White Horse has in my opinion had a very sensitive makeover which has kept much of the feel of how it was before.

I've only eaten there once since the refurb, but I thought the food was excellent and cheaper than you'd pay in ED.

Fosters is the devils own work

It appears the builders had arrived at the former Seacow to start work on the new MEATLiqour branch this morning. When is it due to open?

Louisa.

[Seabag]

July or August for MEAT Licking ED

That's the new name btw

[DovertheRoad]

Did anyone catch the Meat Liquor interview in our new hyperlocal paper, The Dulwich Diverter? It's a comedy gem.

Sample quote: "Lawrence Roullier White designed the toilets" and "there are bits of Inside 72 in there"

And parts of the bar are from The Groucho Club

I went last nite and stuffed my face, and if that's the kind of antics that you like to get up to in a place, then I suggest you go.

Their Chilli fries would cure most hangovers I reckon

[Mick Mac]

So its open - that was quick!

Yes and it has a vibe, that's for sure

I can imagine getting quite wavy in there once in a blue moon

I'm reliving my chicken cheese in a bun thang, it's most delicious

And the kitchen is good, so they'll be turning orders around in good time I reckon

Go, enjoy a local success story. It's fun!

[Louisa]

I had a Byron experience a while back and was hugely impressed, I walked past last night and noticed lots of younger folk enjoying themselves. Seemed busy. Seabag was was the vibe welcoming for all? Including older people?

I just fell off my chair.

[DulwichFox]

I have had mixed reviews about Byron, some very good.. some not so good.. ?

I tend not to eat Burgers out because I do not want ..Cheese...Bacon... Tomato... Pickles..

The price is the same if you ask for a Burger without all the above..

..but you will still get charged a ?1.00 for any extra that you may desire (Egg) ??

Foxy.

Fox, the menu is posted up on another thread.

Suggest you have a look.

We are not talking about Macdonalds .....

And they don't do "extras" .....

ETA: See below!

Admittedly cheese does seem to feature heavily, hooray!

Good on you Lou, I've enjoyed Byron at times

Last nite was a family invite thing that Scott threw for locals, hence lots of youngsters, and they loved it. I went solo but knew most of the people there.

It's pretty noisy, but that's the whole Meat Liquor vibe. But it is friendly to all, if you can take the place for what it is.

I like the details, like cold glasses for cold beer. The food comes on trays and is joyfully messy, but if you don't like that sort of thing, try elsewhere.

Sue.. My reference to Byron was in response to Mick Mac.. Not to be confused with Big Mac.

My reference to Burgers and extras was a general one .. places like the EDT.

and was not related to either Byron or MEATliquor.

I already have a copy of the original draft of the Menu of M.L.

I don't think MEATliquor in any way is targeting people above 45 and probably a lot younger.

American Diners and the like have never been my style. even I was 19.

But It will do well. All thing that Scott gets involved with does well. He has a good team.

looks fun, will have to try it.

They have one in Croydon though, which surely is a location to diminish the brand's impact...

[titch juicy]

Can't wait to get in for one.

I've been a fan of the Dead Hippy since it's earliest days and love their buffalo wings. Also the chilli burger.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Heady days, many years ago. Eating MEATwagon burgers off a trailer parked up in a Commercial estate in Bellenden.

[jacks09]

Popped in to meet the wife and her mate last night - very buzzy atmosphere. I don't think its designed for people to spend an evening there,in fact they probably rely on high turnover of tables. That being said we weren't rushed at all and actually encouraged to take our time.

The monkey fingers are a chicken sized piece of heaven and the burgers are amongst the best I've tried - will definitely be back!

Ha - poor old Croyden. I've heard its the new silicon valley so who knows.

We went to Meat Liquor late on Saturday afternoon, for a very late lunch.

It was very busy even though it was after 4pm.

The burgers were excellent, definitely the best we've had in East Dulwich, as were the fries and beer, though ?4.50 for a small can was a bit of a shock. Don't usually drink craft beer from cans so not sure whether this is the going price or not.

The service was good and very friendly, and we got to sit in the window (though sadly it wasn't open that afternoon) as at John the Unicorn.

We really enjoyed the music too.

We'll be back, looking forward to working our way through the menu (and possibly the beer ....).
