People keep asking…… What even is Dando Parlour?
Well here it is!
Edward Dando was a Regency-era Londoner who walked into oyster stalls, ordered abundantly, ate voraciously, then declared he had no money.
They SANG ballads about him. Charles Dickens wrote about him.
He once said he saw no reason he shouldn’t have an abundance of everything, despite having no money. We think that’s the right attitude.
Minus the not-paying part.
Dando Parlour is his spirit reborn in Sudbury’s south end. A dark, elevated oyster bar and lounge where refined food, exceptional cocktails, and late nights collide.
Globally inspired. Northern proud.
We’re bringing a level of food, cocktails, and atmosphere usually reserved for bigger cities. Without losing the energy of home.
