The Rye Hotel


Recommended Posts

Went there last night with Bumbalina and chums.

Apologies for crappy telephone photo :-$


Splendid food - big portions, lots of variety, very good vinaigrette on the salad which was perfectly crisp. The Pate was like a light caress during a power cut. Top risotto.


Lovely environment, for the relentless and righteous non-smokers the main bar is free of annoyances like me, but for the worshippers of the evil weed there's a well heated and decorated garden marquee that is kept deliciously snug with garden gas heaters. 'Twas like a harem's boudoir in a very nice way! They'll be able to keep it post July with new regs. I especially like that because sensibly none of them are smokers.


The team were excellent. Charming, helpful, engaging, committed, prompt and just kinda nice to be around.


If you're reading this and have nothing particular to do tonight, then I reckon you should just go! It's on the eastern side of the northern 'peak' of Peckham Rye. The very northern bit - not East Dulwich Road, northerner than that ;-)

No! Damn you and your piety ;-). First you get us banned from polite society, and then you want to torture us outside the ciy gates. You've had your piddling victory, go and harass fat people.


No pikeys there last night, a couple of art students and a couple of pretty girls with alice bands. Don't qualify as inter-toll booth caravanners though.

Are you investing in local hostelries Huguenot? You have been effusive in your praise of The Drum and now the The Rye Hotel.


Either you are expanding your portfolio or your impending departure from ED to foreign parts has quite gone to your head; replacing your usual enlightening theological pontifications with enlightening reviews of pubs.


or are you simply a man of the enlightenment? :)

Just extending the repertoire.


The popularity of LL seems quite to have gone to the head of some of the management, who've forgotten the basics about customer service. Hence a conscious decision to investigate other places.


Won't be in Singapore full time until July after the wedding. Bumbalina and I are going together, so if anyone wants to buy a house??

The Rye is well worth a visit.. Great beers on tap, really friendly service everytime I've been there, and a much nicer interior than most places on LL.


I've never been in the summer, but apparently the garden is really nice.

    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
