The following psytrance is baṉned: All
From West to East
Coldharbour lane
Sun & Doves is pretty good for food, but I hear they're going to close, so..
Su-Thai - Authentic (so says sparrow who's been to thaliand) and very tasty.
Ginseng - It's a formica table chinese takeaway, no surprises here.
Nandos - Even less surprising
Peckham Road
Bunch of kebab/noodle places opposite the green
Safa - 'Modern' indian. Not the biggest portions, but really interesting and clean tasting dishes. Not your average indian.
Falafel - does exactly what it says on the tin. Excellent wraps, very large and cheap and tasty.
Angels & Gypsies - Tapas. Booked two whole weeks in advance on weekends, so I have no idea how good it is.
Johanssons (round corner on Love Lane) - Upmarket cafe. Probably calls itself a kitchen. Good bangers & mash
Caravaggio - Family run italian. Friendly service, good value.
There's many more. Not been to the vietnamese on peckham road.

When you say Peckham Road you mean Camberwell Church St.
Also on Coldharbour Lane: Rock Steady Eddie's - decent cafe, big portions. Interesting cross section of low-life clientele
Also on Camberwell Church St: Tadim, cheap Turkish cafe. Lots of veggie stuff, great value.

But does the person bringing the food sing Elvis to you...?

Angels and gypsies is very good, id def recommend it. The steak and quails egg is one of the nicest things I've eaten out in a long while.
Sometime last year we discovered Cinnamon which does much better indian food than Safa, a few doors down. Safa is prettier tho, if you care about that sort of thing. Cinnamons pretty cheap around £6 - £8 for a curry and it's BYOB
The sunday roast at the Bear is really tastey but around £15 so not cheap.
The burgers at Sun and Doves are drool worthy!
JJ's on Southampton Way, tasty indian food and they always chuck something free when we get a take away... much WIN!
Another thumbs up for Su Thai, which could be my fave...

Thanks, that gives me something to get started on...
Has anyone been to the place called "Castello" on Coldharbour Lane, just a bit to the east of Loughborough Junction? It's the place that used to be the Coast Bar and it was some Vietnamese (or something) restaurant at some point too. Seems to be kind of Latin American now.

It changed the tendons in my forearms, that's for sure 
Fucker took about an hour to get home.
It has already seated three, where before we could only seat two. And the cats (and our clothes piles) have a new comfy home on the old sofa which has been relegated to the bedroom. It's all we dreamed of and more. Thank you

Agree Cambria is good food-wise - even better in many ways that the Sun and Doves. The new Tiger pub (formerly Silver Buckle) on Camberwell Green is also good for food. if you're walking along Camberwell Church Street its also worth walking up Grove Lane. The Petit Parisien pub on Grove Lane is good for food and drinks, the Grand Union reasonable for burgers (if you like that kind of thing and dont mind chain pubs) and the George Canning near Denmark Hill Station is also good for food and drinks. The Vietnamese restaurant next to the George Canning Buddha Jazz is also good.

I ate in the Cambria last Sunday, and it was so bad I sent it back. The nut roast was overcooked or had been kept warm too long, and could not be cut. The roasted vegetables were cold. The red cabbage was sour, and there was no green, or fresh, veg at all. It was horrible. I have been there before for the Sunday roast - the first time, over a year ago, was fantastic. A couple of months ago, it was odd but edible. Last Sunday, horrible.
The Sunday afternoon cabaret act in the upstairs room, however, was unexpected, surreal, and fantastic. I can't really tell you more than that, because it has to be experienced! It was really busy, so you probably have to book. http://www.thecambrialondon.com/?page_id=14 (scroll down to the bottom to see details of the cabaret thingy) I would definitely recommend a visit.

Closing? What's the news? Would be right sad to see that go.

It's a 3rd hand rumour, might be complete bollocks
I hope so!
Am going in on Saturday so will see if they've got any bags packed and suchlike. And nick that Dalek they have there too.

The landlord of the Sun and Doves has been trying to get community input into a share ownership thing, because he said some time ago that he couldn't continue to run it. The last I heard, the community was showing no interest in it!

I've been going to Johnnies for over 10 years, run by a nice Turkish family. They've just done it up and extended it. Best caff in the area, I recommend the bubble & sqeak.
