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.

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
