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.

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

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!

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) ??

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.

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!

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 ....).

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.

      Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.

      Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
