New HEAD CHEF started at THE CHERRY TREE!!!!

[purds89]

Hey Guys,

So if you like good food you are in for a real treat.... The Cherry Tree has a new head chef. If you remember enjoying the food and especially the Sunday roasts at the Herne Tavern in 2011/2012 then you are in luck. The head chef from the Herne is now working at The Cherry Tree.

So why not give it a go??? There will be a new menu starting around next week and its reasonably priced too!!!

The Cherry Tree is situated on Grove Vale almost opposite East Dulwich Station!!

Guaranteed GREAT FOOD!!!!!

Poor sod. Odds-on he'll be gone by the end of next month. Either he'll be sacked or if he's got any sense he'll walk.

[Loz]

Anyone starting a book on this one?

I'll have '10 days'.

[Jah Lush]

A tenner says two weeks.

[purds89]

He's been there since Monday.... Function for 200 is booked for tomorrow... Not a bad start ey?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Is he/she the American chef mentioned on here all of 6 weeks ago or is this another one? If new, the American one didnt last long - slightly more than 2 weeks.

Im lumping on a tenner and say 7 weeks.

The food at the Herne was OK but every time I went there it took an absolute age to get it to the table. I wonder whether the guy will be there long enough to actually dish up any food?

[mandypoo]

i have fiver on with my flatmate that he,ll be gone within a week

All three of purds89 posts are promos !

All of these threads are just so depressing...

If he was at the Herne, you'd have thought he'd have heard what had happened to his predecessors at the Cherry Tree. Or maybe there is no communication between local pub chefs?

I'm laying no bets at all.

How long has the latest manager been there now?

[edcam]

These Cherry Tree threads are always so enthralling. purds89 - please can you save us all a lot of grief and tell us who you are?

Gary is trying to make a real go of the Cherry Tree. Last time I went there with my partner, the food was great (took a bit of time), the entertainment was superb. I agree that these threads are depressing which is why I rarely comment. I look forward to sarcastic, witless comments from middle-class knobs who don't like Iceland in Lordship Lane and wear flip-flops at the first sign of summer.

[edcam]

The5thMan is definitely in the Cherry Tree's target demographic.

[The5thMan]

QED edcam. Ha.

That's harsh and unfair. All this sarcastic posters on here (or many of them, including me) have been to the vale/cherry tree enough times to hear the same promises (new chef! New manager! No interference!) over and over again

It's not us that drives the staff away. It's not simple bad luck that they keep hiring "managers that are problematic"

I too have had good food and good times in there. But they will never allow anyone with any talent to just run the pub. Every single one of them leaves in a hurry because of the way they are treated. That's not the fault of anyone posting on here

They've changed the Name..

They've changed the D?cor..

They've changed the Menu..

They've changed the Chef.. several times..

They've changed the management..

What else could it be that needs to be changed.

That's a tough Conundrum.. ??

Hmm, the only thing left is to change the customers then :-)

I had a deeply indifferent roast dinner at the Herne in 2012. I haven't been back since.

Same.

A deeply indifferent roast dinner............why do I find that wording extremely amusing?

The potatoes just sat there shrugging.

[hellosailor]

New chef, new menu, new decor, all you need now is a revolving door and you're good to go

[aquarius moon]

The problem at The Cherry Tree need to realise that it is they who are the problem and not everything/everybody else.

Perhaps the roast just didn?t care anymore. He?s been roasted. Deep psychological problems I expect.
