It certainly would seem to be The Euros..


..All pubs showing the Football are rammed.. There is bound to be much drinking and excitement.


..same as when the Rugby was on..


I haven't been to The Castle for years.. On a previous visit I fell through the floor on the way to the loos..

The old carpet was covering a hole in the floorboards. Proper pub back in those days.. :)


Foxy.

Ah memories Mr. Fox. I stepped in the door one day and the ceiling fell in

Some of us appreciate what we've got when we've got it!


Makes for a rather unhappy life otherwise :)

Went to The Castle last night.


They now only have the very cold Guinness and the ordinary kind seems to have gone.


Just before 9pm the music was turned up from behind the bar to such a high volume I couldn't stand to sit in there any longer.


We took our pints outside, drank them and went elsewhere.


Sorry for the neighbours if that is going to be the way of things now.

Loyalty, commitment seems to mean nothing these days. Sad post. She must be feeling very blue. When will people learn that dedicated service shows great loyalty and passion from their employees and that this place runs through her veins into her heart. I'm sorry to hear this, and I hope ALL the regulars go elsewhere.

There's nowhere much else to go in East Dulwich.


The Castle is/was the last proper pub left round here since the CPT became The Great Exhibition :(

also sad to read this a few days ago, not strictly ED, but it shows the changing face of everywhere.

sad that everywhere is turning into yummy mummy territory. proper south london boozers will be assigned to history.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
