Next Forum Drinks - Friday 1st October at The Actress


Recommended Posts

Weegee - you'll be referring to the building currently housing Casa Smerelda approaching Nunhead.


It's also been known as:

The Village Inn


but on the night we went, and I agree the food was amazing for a short period, it was known as The Duke.


I think it was once something else too but before my time in the area. Beautiful old building - shit location.


Aaaaaanyway.....yep, I'm up for one last hurrah. I've been to a few forum drinks over the years but not for a while so this sounds a top idea.

How about the all new Canning? I'm sure they'd appreciate the business.


Oooooh. A crawl!


Phoenix, George Canning, Fox on the Hill, Oriwu Spot, EDT.


Strictly speaking the Vale sits between the last two, but you know, NTV!!!

Could I tentatively suggest an alternative date?...


Ignore this is everyone else is happy with the 12th, but could I also put forward the 26th November?


(As I have only been to one - please don't let me sway it if everyoen else prefers the 12th)

VBC ? sorry but from posts to date the 12th it is (subject to conf)


If that date has to change again that?s fine but I won?t be able to attend so someone else will need to take over planning


I?ve spoken to the Phoenix and they can give me the mezzanie but I need to have plenty of people there from 6:30 ? at this time of the year I can?t book from say 7:30 or 8 o clock


So can I ask people likely to attend to say yes they can make it for that time? If not I?ll have to get back to them and rethink venue/dates


Cheers

xxxxxxx


That's a shame as we have the very excellent - and local! - duo Jen Doyle and Joe Fowler on Upstairs at the Mag that night, so we won't be able to come. And nor will anybody going to the Phoenix!


They went down a storm at the fair on Goose Green which was part of the Dulwich Festival earlier in the year.

Hey,


no worries. It is a shame, but I will be dousing myself in Polish beer and vodka to ease the pain. :)-D


As long as you all get drunk enough for me and then post some cracking photos of the nights events then I am happy :))

I'm aiming for 15 - a few either way and we should still be ok, but the more the merrier


We are limited to 40 tho so if the majority are thinking of turning up later we could struggle. On a good drinks night we see 20-30 people, on a few occassions more than that and for Georgia's last hurrah I'm expecting at least 30

I'll go with whatever, but I'm not sure about the choice of venue.


What about Hoopers...


Or, wht about a pub IN East Dulwich (it being the last one and all). The first ever drinks, attended by about 5 people including Mockney, Huguenot, Me, Mike P, and one or 2 others, was at the Mag(dalla), so it may be fitting to finish them at the Mag(nolia).

    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
