My Night Out in East Dulwich.....


Mick Mac

Recommended Posts

A new thread where people say where they were in ED tonight, what bars etc. And rate their experience.


I'll start: Tonight I was out with a mate and in:

The Gowlett from 8.30 - 10.30 then EDT briefly and from 11pm-1am in Franklins.


Gowlett 8/10 - great bar. Had some pizza and real ale. Only spoiled temporarily by the music. The seem to have a do it yourself dj option and some of the 80s revival music chosen was not great.

Franklins. 7/10 hard to rate as late in evening but barman served up until 12 and did a large measure of macallen. Tops.


Were we in the presence of any other forumites?

You see Tony, not everything in SE15's gone down hill since the old days - I suspect back in your day the only thing you could get on the 7th floor of the multi-storey was dose off Beryl from the Bun House or a shoeing off the F-Troop.

I went to the Rosendale for the first time on Saturday night for a few drinks and dinner and absolutely loved it.

I had the steak and chips which I would score 9/10, best chips I've had in a long time. The service was great, really friendly staff and the atmosphere very relaxed for a Saturday night.

I'll definitely be going back there again.

Oh I appreciate that there's a lot of history behind the place Keef and I remember my dad taking me down there once or twice but since I've grown up and can afford to get legless on my own steam it's just never really appealed to me.


I like to think of myself as an honest realist when confessing my local. It is and probably always will be the Capitol in Forest hill, even though it is a bit pikey.

I agree Keef . Too many many try hards on LL. I spent a new years eve in the cpt a couple of years ago only because it was the only place that didnt need tickets to get in and it was brilliant, lively, comfortable and welcoming . Capitol can be a bit scuzzy but at least it has an unpretentious atmosphere .

The Capitol!!!! Let's face it it's not a pub is it? Jeez what a shithole. I walked in there once and didn't even make it as far as the bar (which is miles away) before I did an about turn and walked out never to return. It's cavernous and has a crappy atmosphere or no atmosphere. Bloody awful. A perfectly good former cinema ruined. Give me a proper pub like the CPT any day.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
