Seymour Bros., Camberwell, London

Having moved to south east london from south west 15 years ago, before the refreshing seacow east dulwich, before the un touchable Franklins, before the warm cosy Jacks Lordship Lane- There were 3 standout places, Blue Mountain North Cross rd, Free Range Lordship Lane (sadly now cafe noodle) and Seymour Bros Camberwell.
The latter had a very definite place in my heart- its rustic feel, easy service and the essence of the art school permeating throughout. And best of all the rolls, oh the rolls, unique to Seymour Bros, certainly within the eateries i frequent.

I write this with heavy heart but seeing as its the 3rd time its happened i think its become form and not a one off.

The young mediterranean woman, thats how her colleague described her, wherever she hails from, her attitude stinks.

I was barked at today, for the 3rd time in 3 visits. why? i didnt hear what she said. She never says please, she never says thank you and if you ask for something they dont have, woe betide you.
I persevered for the sake of the rolls- sadly they’re just not that good.

Adios Seymor Bros

This cafe in the day (which is alright) becomes the most amazing thai restaurant in the evening, and is definately on my top five list of places to visit in the area. The food was the best thai food I’ve eaten out of Thailand and was served fresh out the kitchen by the cook herself. A very intimate, candle-lit place with simple, unique furniture. The service was very good and the prices are middle-of-the-range, but definately not overpriced. If you like thai food you’ll find some of your favourites on this menu.

Very good and cheap Thai meals in the evening. The cafe/restaurant is lovely and fun, the food fresh and tasty.

Best of all it is BYOB with a small corkage fee (£2 I think). They are not licensed so make sure you pickup a nice bottle of wine on the way.
