I was already a regular visitor to Clubtek’s DJ shop when it was in Penge, but now they're even handier in Stanstead Road, just a few doors down from Shannon’s Garden Centre - another old favourite. It’s by no means just for DJs and bands...

Gin and Beer, Deptford

Oct

2017

Gin and Beer is the new neighbour for Buster Mantis, underneath the arches on Resolution Way. As the name suggests, Gin and Beer is what they sell. Don't embarrass yourself by asking for something else, unless it's a mocktail.Happily, within that limited palette, they manage to conjure enormous variety, thanks to their ambitious cocktail menu. ...

Pizzaman is now open. It has a nice big oven and promises gluten free options. Could this be the decent local pizza option we've been waiting for? Reviews please.

BCer Shirley wants to fill a gap in our local restaurant knowledge. She writes:This restaurant never seems to appear in BC lists of good places to eat, so I thought I'd give it a well deserved shout-out after discovering it by word of mouth recommendation today.They do fantastic authentic home-cooked dosas, a myriad of interesting ...

Fred’s, 358 Brockley Road

Fred's cafe opened today on Brockley Road. Closer in spirit and menu to somewhere like Oscar's in Ladywell than nearby Arlo & Moe or Benedict's, it should nicely complement Crofton Park's increasingly impressive range of cafes, bars and restaurants.Inside and outside at Fred'sFred's stress their family-friendliness (picking a side in the local culture war) and ...

The Fat Walrus, 44 Lewisham Way

Jan

2016

It was supposed to be the impossible pub.An establishment that had been through various incarnations in recent years, without attracting a sustainable customer base. Too far from New Cross for passing trade and too close to New Cross to enjoy a captive market. The Old Haberdasher - an adequate sort of place - was perennially ...
