The Tapas Room, Deptford – A Tiny Cavern of Delights

“Mr Whippy it ain’t” – A review of Dark Sugars Chocolate shop in Greenwich
We ended up outside the Dark Sugars Chocolate shop after a lunchtime lockdown walk. I peered in, half desirously but also wincing a little at the open pools of chocolate delights. Ingestion of chocolate isn’t strictly listed as a WHO […]

Tila Deptford
I’m duty bound to write about Tila.. because despite the food being delicious, there was no one else there… no one to admire the wood fire and the relaxed decor. This is wrong. People are missing out. There was much […]
