Chili Chutney, which has now shut, has a sign on the door saying "Your M&S store will be opeing soon" - that's what next
Manor Arms is very good btw, though a touch pricey...and so doesn't beat the Ferrers for Streatham's #1 pub.
Seconded - its the only pub in Streatham I really like.

That was from the same "Estate agent bollocks" article that included the classic:
“Some of the most popular ones include the Perfect Blend in Streatham Hill and 19, a brassiere on Streatham High Road.”

Perfect Blend may be popular but it ain't "good". Lovely coffee, pretty crap food and terrible service.
M&S have looked into opening a store on the High Road (friend works in marketing team there) but not sure it got much further than that. Might have been part of the new development of the Megabowl site

Went there a few weeks back with Mrs Cowley & my daughter.
It's been done out very nicely but is ridiculously expensive. Too expensive IMHO.
Food was OK, standard Gastro fare....certainly nothing special and certainly no better than Earl Ferrers which I see has been mentioned on this thread.
I enquired about Sunday Lunch, £15 a head, pretty pricey if you ask me
Damnnit, fooled!
Not that I'd shop there anyway...I see on twitter regular mention of Earl Grey & Rose, some hidden-away coffee and cupcake type place, but no idea where it is, or whether it's good...
Leigham Court Road next to SLP building. Been there once, not for Cupcakes but for a Bacon Sarnie, only realised it was Earl Grey & Rose when I overheard a couple on the table next to me talking about the amazing Cupcakes etc. To be fair, the Cupcakes did look nice. Food was nice, and it's a welcome change to have a slightly "left of centre" cafe in Streatham...though it did feel a bit too Cath Kidston to me.

^^ cowley, have been there now and agree over-priced but nice tucker and too twee...props for them giving it a go mind, and it was packed on Sat...
Just bumping this one up anyway - there's a couple of new things worth a mention.
'I love Coffee' on the high road near WHS/Sainsbury local - nice people running it, good coffee, and nice to have another alternative to Cafe Nero, but they haven't got the hang of soyamilk in coffees, so mine curdled!
Another, only just opened, is a new bakery, Crumbs, opposite Streatham Station/Morrisons. Good bread, and the cakes *look* nice but haven't tried.
Also the Hideaway has been refurbing a unit in front of the Hideaway itself if you know what I mean, again almost opp Morrisons. Opening next week, Thursday. This will be a cafe in the daytime, with a booze license and wine-bar inside by Chix & Buck - who've done pop-up bars on the high road before. (declaration of interest - I know Chix - but this isn't designed as an advert, more a knowledge-share...)

Another vote for I Love Coffee.
Kredens opposite it is good too.
Not so new, but pizza and ice cream from Bocca's good.
Balfe's Bikes from Kennington are opening in Streatham.

Oh, that's interesting, do you know where/when? I've run out of other local bike shops to trust...

Sadly not - I saw it on their website when checking their opening times the other week. Just looked again but no more info.
I've only used De Ver a couple of times but have found them good so far. A friend had good service from Apex on Clapham High St.

i don't know if it's new or if it's been there forever, but has anyone been to the kennedy's fish n chip shop? it looks well tasty.
and the fishmongers a few doors down looks good too. 3 bream or sea bass for £10! anyone been to that too?

cheers, I'll drop in to Kennington, find some deets out and report back at some point. Apex I know are good, De Ver seem repeatedly unable to fix my brakes properly! As did Brixton Cycles.
Kennedy's is bloody lovely. Again though, it ain't cheap but if you're happy paing £8ish for a fish supper you cant go wrong! Haven't fished at t'other place though...

Kennedy's has been there for ages and is very popular and much cheaper than Olley's

i was quite disappointed with Olley's, esp at the price. Their chips are shit.

it's not much dearer than elsewhere IME. they do other stuff too, they have a charcoal grill
#it's been there for years and its as good as it looks.

They've gone way downhill compared to a couple of decades ago, and their cheap lunchtime cod and chips was very poor last time I was there. Fish was the size of a couple of fishfingers. Was very disappointed

in leeds you can get 5 small pieces of battered haddock and chips in a bap for £3

You see, you're so much better off living up there. It's obviously much cheaper to feed yourself
Orang Utan
Psychick Worrier Ov Geyoor
that's the ONLY good thing about it, but let's face it, even £3 is a lot to splash out on a meal if you're on the rock n roll

Very true. It's a luxury. Maybe you should aim to become an MP. Think of all that lovely subsidised food you could buy for £3
