The Cherry Tree

Recommended Posts

I thought I'd take my friend here to start her birthday celebrations by taking advantage of the ?10 Mon-Fri lunch offer advertised on the website. I was told that although it was a Friday it wasn't in fact available, and depends on the chef's whim. From what I could understand, it's a matter of how much food he has available (although the entire menu was available if you paid the full price).


I explained that it was a special occasion, but they made no concessions - not even a drink for the birthday girl - despite this offer being advertised. (I was told the website applied to a whole chain of pubs,so might not represent what they're doing in Dulwich. However, only The Cherry Tree East Dulwich is mentioned on the site and the web address is thecherrytreedulwich.co.uk so that doesn't seem to be true!).


I appreciate that hitches happen (although the mood of the chef seems a strange basis to run a business) but was taken aback by their lack of good will. In my experience, most places go out of their way to make someone's birthday special. It seems an unfriendly and short-sighted way to run a pub. The food was lovely. A shame the attitude didn't match up.

Been a few times... 4-5 .


On 2 occassions no Real Ale out of their selection of 4. Evidently due to Chiller Pump being broke..


Real Ale / Chiller Pump. ??? What's that then..

I assume Hand Pumps are not actual Beer Engines but elecrically assisted fake hand pumps. ?? I simple do not know.


No food on 2-3 nights. 20.00 - 21.00 ish.


It's a real shame.. Pub is nice enough.. Staff are really nice. But place deserted..

One Thurday.. 21.00 No real ale .. No food ... 3-4 customers..

Back to EDT. Beer.. Food... rammed..


No idea what the answer is.. I think it's just the place..


Foxy.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
