hackney visitors (where to take them out?)

[Juliet]

Hi

I've just moved from Dalston Hackney - I've got a few mates coming over to have a bite to eat in a local pub and watch the champions league final. They are a bit sceptical about south london - they are stupid spurs supporters - so want to take them somewhere decent for the night so they can't slag me off for moving south.

Any good suggestions people??

OK the first one to recommend The Vale gets sent to bed without so much as a lamb shank or a delicious cajun burger.

Gowlett always impresses out of towners.

That's it really.

The Vale or EDT both have multi screens, although I'd go for the EDT.

the castle.

Do they have passports to allow them to travel internationally?

From Hackney? They'll be at home in Nunhead

what is scary about those pubs?

the lack of wind-dried tuna on the menu?

Prince Albert is ace , and cheap too. (Disclaimer, I am not the landlord of the Prince Albert)

[Jeremy]

The Albert's being done up, isn't it?

NOT being the landlord of said establishment, I wouldn't know ; )

EDIT : Is it? I've not been for a month or so. I hope they don't introduce new a menu featuring wind-dried tuna and halogen lighting : (

[Brendan]

Wind dried? Sound?s awfully time-consuming. I just open the tin halfway and let it drain into the sink.

Although nothing says "class" on a menu better than some well prepared halogen lighting.

[Brendan]

I read somewhere that they have a new chef.

[Jeremy]

That's right Brendan. I wouldn't usually consider going over that way, but I gave it a go and I wasn't defiled.

I can't remember the old menu.

It's a good place to drink a pint of adequately-gassed lager without being disgusted or deflowered . *

IDEA: This can go on the new menu, if there's space for testimonies?
