Horsebox Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Nothing wrong with keeping it as The Uplands.Not at all keen on The Villager (is that supposed to be ironic?) or The Actress (sounds awkward and clumsy).

Brendan Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well the thing with the Villager is that it is quite clearly not in the Village. It?s slap bang in the middle of the Village?s pretentious upstart of a neighbour with ideas above its station. People will just think it?s naff.

B)The name should be the Wodehouse, no Dulwich prefix. That's all.The only confusionn will lie with the easily confused dopey-headed c*nt community.It's a small community, but massively confused and spectaculary dopey-headed.As for c*ntishness, don't get me started.

Steph Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Scott as a mother of a young child and soon to be new aby who lives opposite the pub I would be interested to know what the opening hours will be and also what time people will be allowed outside until? Will it be a family pub like the Herne or more in keeping with the Bishop???

theflorence Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hello Steph, I won't be changing any opening hours (currently midnight sun-thurs and 1am Fri & Sat). The license states that the outside areas have to be emptied by 11 p.m.The plan is to be more Florence than Bishop, but completely different to both (if that makes any sense). I have never received one noise complaint about The Bishop in the 5 years I've had it (if that allays any fears). Reds, planning and licensing permitting, work should start at the end of April and take about 4 weeks.

woodycheese Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 My recommendations would be 'The Scott Arms' or 'The Royal Mail' as most of the local postmen seem to like hanging out in there...!
