Camberwell news and chitter-chatter

[Maggot]

Went to FM Mangal for the first time yesterday and was really impressed. As well as the delicious food, there were so many freebies. From the bread to start, to the Turkish delight, Amaretto and slices of pineapple at the end. Then, when we paid the bill, they gave us a bottle of wine as a christmas present!

The bread and the onion thingy is amazing. FM Mangal is one of my favourite places in London for food.

FM Mangal is probably my fave restaurant in London

Haven't been there in so so long. This has reminded me to go back soon.

The meat fetishists are doing an evening 'pop up' this week. We're being squeezed between Peckham and Brixton foodwankers. The place never formerly known as Mike and Ollie's seems to be doing OK with its remarkably stable 'foraged' menu.

New Year's greetings to everyone reading this. Sorry to report that, despite emails from the Friends, contractor Blakedown has yet to offer any explanation for the bulbs and shredded paper strewn over the Green. The replacement for the dead quercus sapling - scheduled for w/c 19 December - has been postponed until early this month, and we are also still waiting for a maintenance schedule for all the new saplings. This last point is particularly important because young trees should be watered regularly during dry spells for the first two seasons after planting. Some gentle pressure on Blakedown might help here, so if anyone would like to write a brief, polite email to them on the subject, the person to contact is paul.hook@blakedownse.co.uk
Thank you for your help!

Are you responsible for this sticker on the taps in the Joiners?

 

[mango5]

No. But Panagea Steel had a regular Sunday slot there for a while. I don't know who is doing the thing on Benhill Road. Just thought it worth sharing.

They still play some Saturdays! Was just wondering as that exact image has appeared in sticker form across the lager taps in the back bar haha

Has anyone been to the new Kurdish cafe (Nandine) on Vestry Road?

Has anyone been to the new Kurdish cafe (Nandine) on Vestry Road?

Yes I've been a couple of times as it's just round the corner from me. Food is excellent - have tried the naan pizza and the sujuk (spicy sausage) sandwich. Opening hours seem a bit erratic as I'm not sure they have settled on a fixed schedule yet. Family run with the Mum doing the cooking, the son the serving and the Dad relaxing and drinking his coffee. I really hope they do well as it is something different for the area, but location wise it is a bit tucked away so doesn't get a huge amount of passing trade. Definitely worth a visit to support them.

31 Jan 6:30pm: Camberwell Community Council meeting
at Theatre Peckham, 221 Havil Street, Camberwell, London SE5 7SD

I've never been to one of these as I get itchy listening to council bods (in similar local meetings) who don't listen back and the same agenda items come up interminably.

In response to feedback, in which people indicated a need for more time to discuss issues and to find out what is happening in their area, we are changing the format of community councils, so they will be more informal and flexible.
This meeting will be the first of the new format meetings, and we are keen to make it as interesting and engaging as possible.

The theme is, Question Time, where we have confirmed guest speakers, The Borough Commander, on Community Safety and Florence Eshalomi, the Assembly Member, on Transport issues.

There will also be the Cleaner, Greener, Safer, 2017/18 decisions and the Theatre Peckham Choir are performing.

My heart sinks when I read this kind of guff:

“Charcuterie is expensive but we’re an inexpensive proposition,” says Cannon. “You can have a beautiful plate of meat, glass of wine and a toastie for under £20.”

Yeah, been ages now. Can't remember when they changed it! Shame they did, I enjoyed laughing at it.

It was a delight. Oh, the consternation around Noodel City
