Why does anyone care what happens in Canada (population 36 million)? It's already legal for recreational use in 9 US states including California which by itself is a larger population.

Cannot recommend Joe highly enough. A lovely guy who is very thorough in his work.
-
Another recommendation for Joe. A lovely fella who is extremely thorough in his work. He fixed a number of broken cupboard doors for us and sorted out an absolute shambles I had made out of trying to put up some window blinds.

One of the many reasons I love Stormbird.
-
Beckett would have loved this.
-
Yes I've been twice.I don't see how saying I'm not that into the latest street food trend being repackaged as a semi-formal dining concept is slagging off a business. I'll just keep going to their tapas place instead which I happen do like.
-
I don't get this bao trend. Sure, would work great as a snack in a cafe or a bar but it's not the sort of thing that lends itself to a formal'ish dining experience. Much prefer their tapas place.
-
Same here. I've always really liked it.

Went in over the Christmas. Place stank of fried food so walked straight out again. Typical loud, soulless gastropub from what I could see. Will try it again but really didn't see what the fuss is all about.

Corporal Punishment in an East Dulwich School
Catalyst replied to a topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
You and your mates must have been particularly strong willed. However I still wouldn't advocate it's return as I saw adults go over the line too many times. -
The Peckham Coal Line urban park
Catalyst replied to TheCoalLine's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Agreed but it does need to be managed closely. The Regent's Canal in the east end being a good example where it hasn't been and there have been loads of accidents and confrontations as a result. -
They're not offensive but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Personally I think Camberwell does pubs a lot better whether it be gastro (Crooked Well, Camberwell Arms), old skool career alky (Hermit's Cave), beer nerd (Stormbird).

Another cookie cutter pubco boozer. Does anything that's not a chain ever open in ED these days?

House prices (in East Dulwich)
Catalyst replied to Earl Aelfheah's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Same here. I've been hemorrhaging friends and acquaintances over the last 2-3 years. These aren't the "not really cut out for London" types either. None of them wanted to leave. They just couldn't afford to stay and build any kind of secure future. Age range being around mid 30's. -
Even though they're in different boroughs Telegraph Hill and Nunhead are basically the same neighborhood. If anything East Dulwich feels much further removed being on the other side of the park.
-
Makes a change from all the chains and chazza shops I suppose.
-
Another happy customer here. Steven and his team took down an old laven ceiling, replaced with a plasterboard one and did all the plastering/skimming etc. A filthy task that I wouldn't wish on anyone but they did a great job of containing the soot and dust. Very fast workers and a fair price.

New HEAD CHEF started at THE CHERRY TREE!!!!
Catalyst replied to purds89's topic in Request a Tradesperson
Is it still owned by the same bloke who had The Hamlet Inn/The Vale? -
I prefer the Gowlett's pizzas to Franco Manca personally.

Grand Opening of THE FLYING PIG, Goose Green,
Catalyst replied to The Flying Pig's topic in Request a Tradesperson
Clueless staff is par for the course with most of the places riding the craft beer boom. At least the Flying Pig people are polite and friendly unlike many of their east end counterparts. Having said that they are some mega knowledgeable people working there. I'm sure the others will pick it up as they go along. -
As someone mentioned earlier the ale selection is already behind the curve for a place trading as a craft beer boozer. Apart from Kernel they only other thing of note they used to have on was a few decent Sierra Nevada seasonals now and again. Although at least they had some business claiming to be a craft beer bar unlike those chancers at the Clock House. Do they still have that ridiculous sign outside trying to pass off a load of macro stuff as craft?

Grand Opening of THE FLYING PIG, Goose Green,
Catalyst replied to The Flying Pig's topic in Request a Tradesperson
Still loving this place. Never thought I'd be a 10 minute walk from a place selling two different types of gueuze. Looking forward to the cocktail menu starting up. -

They had this on tap although probably not the style of wheat beer you were looking for (US vs. German/Belgian). http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/southern-tier-422-pale-wheat-ale/101561/
