Review of Gizel Kebab Bar
16 May 08, 17:08
Filthy Healthy! 
South London's finest kebab shop! Have fond and equally sketchy memories of this place from my time in Clapham. Many an evening would end with a trip to Gizel's and one of their perfectly formed doner kebabs... Friendly service was always delivered and the food doesn't appear unhealthy, although I'm sure you could fill a wine glass with it's juices... and drink them.

Review of The Duke Of Devonshire
24 Apr 08, 08:58
A refurb isn't always a wise move... 
This used to be my local. A group of us would head down The Duke (of old) for an evening, then come 9pm we would secretly eye the twitching of the red velvet curtain that was the gateway to "the back room" that would then serve drinks till the early hours.
The back room was dark, filthy and brilliant! It had a cheap pound shop glitter ball hanging from the ceiling, crusty old flickering candles on all of the few tables it housed and they used to play some great music... It also had limited space, so it had a pang of exclusivity if you were lucky enough to gain entry!
Since the refurb, the whole place is open till the early hours and it has definetly lost its charm. It's all modernised and souless...
The only thing it has going for it is a great beer garden, but that's not enough to lure me back...
