Looks like something’s coming to 49a Dartmouth Road

https://lazypeach.co.uk/

love the graphic and makes me interested to see what is coming, but it’s not a good look on my work monitor ha

Is it a sex shop? A ‘massage’ parlour?

Nature of business (SIC)
56101 - Licensed restaurants

Director is Judy Chen, who is listed as a doctor.

She seems to be listed at Rushey Green Group Practice in Catford.

Is this where Il Mirto was? I thought it was going to be some Chinese fusion restaurant (or am I confusing it with another forthcoming attraction on D Road)?

It’s a Chinese tea house I believe.

Ahhhhhhh… that makes sense…

Strangely enough, there used to be a Condom Shop along that stretch.

I’d forgotten about that!

The Turkish word Piç, pronounced “peach” means that for some people this shop will appear to be “lazy b*****d”.

Well, we do already have a Turkish restaurant called the Lazy Chef. Are our new businesses enjoying some word play, perhaps.

Busy apparently - Have you checked it out? Share photos please!

It appears to be very pink.

Mmmmm… katsu curry… I have high standards when it comes to Katsu Curry, mind… will have to check it out.

Ditto, do let us know.

must say the menu doesn’t appeal to me at all.
I can’t say me and the OH will be going there

What is it that doesn’t appeal out of interest?

Can’t wait for this - a mix of familiar and new flavours. Looking forward to popping in and supporting an ambitious new independent.

Katsu on chips? Yes.

Popped in today, would definitely recommend the pork belly bao!

Can’t wait to try it, looks great!

I walked past the other evening around 8pm and it was busy and I was really pleased to see that there is a cafe open into the evenings - one of my great frustrations in this country compared to others is that if you want a drink after about 6pm you invariably have to go to a pub/bar where obviously the focus is on alcohol. I think our drinking culture is changing and the more places that recognise that people want options for socialising in the evening without having to drink alcohol (or awful syrupy post-mix soft drinks you get in pubs) the better.

Way to go Lazy Peach!!!

It’s nice too see that there’s still realistic potential for evening trading.
I used to run a hair salon on Dartmouth Road back in the mid-80s and we used to pick up a significant percentage of our trade from 6:30pm onwards due to the increased footfall from commuters on their way home from work.
Another place that did well from their evening trade for a few years was a tapas bar called ‘Meson Juan’, which took over from ‘Spiggy’s’ cocktail/wine bar at No.73.

Mono looked pretty cool!

Mono does indeed look very cool but unfortunately the name is forever associated with Mononucleosis (Mono) for me and would put me right off…

Remember Meson Juan well. Spent many an evening there.

Finally checked the Lazy Peach out recently and was thoroughly impressed. Had a great confit duck sandwich. Will definitely be back.

Brunch menu also looked amazing- loads of classic brunch options but with an Asian twist.

Great new addition to the area!

Was it busy? Any time I pass by is totally empty

Are they still doing the Katsu Curry & Chips dish? Have to try that…

They really need to make it a bit cosier. The lighting is so bright and you’re sort of just on show sat in there.
I would recommend to put a few things in the window (eg beads) to make it feel more enticing to sit inside

There were a couple of other people in there - yes.

Takes a bit of time for a new business to bed-in on the high street whilst it develops a regular clientele and footfall, and I am happy to support it in the meantime. Great new and exciting food offer from a local independent

I’ve been a few times and always really enjoyed the food! Particualr favourite is the fish finger bao - YUM! Although always been in for brunch/lunch - next time need to try it in the evening!

In my opinion, this place is exactly what Forest Hill needed food-wise! There are so so so many Italian/pizza places so good to get a different cuisine that pushes itself and has a changeable menu for reasonable prices.

I went there on Saturday for lunch and really enjoyed their fun fusion menu. Lots of great pan-Asian food being combined with trad English twists, for example fish finger bao. I resisted the cocktails that lunchtime but after seeing the woman who owns it confidently blow torching something in a martini glass I’ll definitely be back to sample those.

If you’re into East Asian culture the aesthetic is spot on and there’s some lovely gift items and tea to buy.

Their menu is big and looks to change regularly so I’ll be coming back most weeks it looks like. Dartmouth Rd has some great businesses and this is another one. Well done, Lazy Peach!

Only been there for tea so far (which was excellent!). Need to sample the food soon! And of course the cocktails!

Does anyone know if lazy peach has closed for a summer break or closed permanently? Haven’t seen much life in there lately
