Posting here for traffic - sorry!! Nice lunch places in SE London?

[PamplemousseRouge]

long. Some friends are visiting this weekend, and I was looking for somewhere nice to take them for lunch tomorrow.

AIBU to ask you if you might know of any nice lunch places around Camberwell please?

I was thinking of maybe asking them if they'd like to go to Lordship Lane in Dulwich, as I really like it there, but it's quite far, so I'd be really grateful if you might be able to suggest somewhere nearer please!

Thanks so much, everyone! :)

Oops, sorry! I think the first part of my post got cut off. The first sentience is meant to say: 'I'm living in Camberwell, but haven't been here very long' :)

Bumping :)

There are loads of fab places in Camberwell
The Crooked well, the Camberwell arms are good for roasts (see the standard paper for review), Theo's is fab for pizzas, nape is new and trendy for tapas, the Greek is fun too.

By the way, camberwellians have a special name for people that go to lordship lane...

Is Denmark Hill far away? There's a cafe called Lovewalk which is lush

I don't live round there, but Herne Hill has some good places to eat, I think - I just Googled and found Mimosa in Half Moon Lane.

Wow thanks for the suggestions, Awks and toomany! ooh I forgot about Theo's!! Once ordered lovely pizza from them :) oh god what's the nickname, toomany??

Thanks, bridget! :) and Awks, sorry I didn't reply to your comment earlier - I'm not too far from Denmark Hill and have heard good things about Lovewalk, so will definitely try it out!

Hop on a bus to Brixton - I love Brixton market village and loads to choose from.

If you hop on the 484 (?) bus to Brockley both the Gantry and the Orchard are great.

I love Brixton but there are very few places there that a group of 4 people could have a relaxed and leisurely meal on a Saturday lunchtime.

I'm with lauren jump on the bus to brixton it will take 10 mins, there is a lovely restaurant behind the the fish market, it looks like a dive but does the most amazing squid.

Stay in camberwell!

Camberwell Arms
The Pigeon hole
Theo's
Love walk
Daily Goods

Hope you choose one of those options ~ they are all great. True Camberwellians are v proud people but they are also annoyed that people don't put their village on the map. People say that they live in Peckham or Dulwich borders as both are perceived to be posher/trendier than Camberwell. So those that regularly go to lordship rather than the delights of the well are called snobs! Brixton doesn't have the same issues..

I'm with Actually, finding a relaxed table for four in Brixton on a Saturday is a nightmare. Nice for a browse, not for a lunch and catch up. I'm chucking in another vote for Theo's and I'm extremely fussy about pizza. Have fun!

Ooh hesterton I love Silk Road! Drooling a bit now at the thought of their lamb and noodles.

Lordship Lane is only about 10 mins on a bus from Camberwell - 185 ,176,484 .

Or hop on a bus 185 ,36 ,436 to Vauxhall and try Lassco's www.lassco.co.uk/locations/brunswick-house/

it's what they call quirky and not as expensive or posh as it sounds !

I think Camberwell suffers a bit from being based around such a busy main road intersection .

Hi everyone :) just popping back to thank you all on your amazing restaurant recommendations!! I'm really keen to try all of the places you've mentioned, thank you so much for all of the fab suggestions :) we ended up going to the Kennington pub in the end, which was delicious, but I can't wait to go to all of the other places you've posted about :)

So glad you found somewhere that suited .Good on you for your spirit of discovery !

Thanks sunnyhills :)
