Actress opening party

[sashabella]

Having a ball! And Clarence from the Bishop is sat 5 people away from us. I reckon he plays snooker. X

[TheArtfulDogger]

I came past there tonight and couldn't believe that it was open already (head in a book all week)

Does Clarance have some advantage over everyone being a lion ?

[RosieH]

Mmmm, good pizza, good good good pizza.

But none for the rest of you - only for me.

rah rah rah, jealous, heard that the pizza was F-A-B!!

hope everyone had a great time, looked like it was really busy in the Actress tonight (tu)

[annaj]

It was fun. The place looks nice, the staff were friendly and the pizza was goooooood.

And I met an EDF celeb.

You can't argue with free booze. Very generous.

Think I spotted the Holy MacGabhann in there - resplendent in black - but he was surrounded by his entourage so alas we were not permitted to touch the hem of his garments.

Thanks to The Actress for laying on the entertainment too. The absolutely bladdered well-known local trader kept us in stitches for much of the last hour.

[Keef]

I got the email, but forgot all about it. Oh well, I'll pop in in the next week or 2 and check it out.

I really hope this place is busy enough to do a good business, but not busy like The Bishop. If that is the case, I'll probably be a fan.

[SeanMacGabhann]

navy blue, with a white-shirt, ashleeeeee *Bob* ;-)

Now TODAY I'm in black

Despite all Scott?s worries about deadlines it all came together rather well last night ? great to see that place busy and as *Bob* says free booze and food is a winner all round.

I?m liking relocation of the toilets, allowing a cosier space in the corner ? one of the (many) problems with the Uplands was the general lack of ambience.

[????]

Is there an opening event that the Macgabba doesn't roll up at? Envelopes, car doors, he's there...in black.

[*Bob*]

Bog relocation a winner. There's something slightly more satisfying about having to go down a flight of stairs to take a leak - don't know why.

The place is styled in an interesting fashion, it seemed slightly nautical - but not in a bad way. Had a good feel to it, though drinks on the house and full to capacity helped in that respect. Weird high backless bench bunk bum-perch seats in window are a bit duff.

I saw Brooklyn Lager in the chiller which I'm quite partial to - and a smattering of other tempting bottles.

[Brendan]

Sofa's. How are they on sofas and soft armchairs?

I have a bony arse.

Which is not the same thing as a bonny arse.

[Steph]

Ahh wouldnt be the same without Sean! Pizza's were soooooooooo tasty and the staff were really lovely and sociable. Great night.

[Brendan]

Is this the first boozer to have been named by the Eed Dee Eff?

[woofmarkthedog]

Yes

A very pleasant evening, it's a very pleasant "furb" they've done there

I missed you there *Bob*

( as always, incognito )

W**F

[scott]

Glad you all approve. The pizza will be better on Monday, we had some last minute dough issues. I think everyone I met lived next door, two doors away, three ...100 yds etc etc Which is very pleasing.

Thankyou all for coming

[RosieH]

Even better. I like that. And ribs you say?

Happy days.

[sashabella]

Yes you met me Scott (the girl with the sister in law who lives in Madrid!) and we live the next block away!

Thanks for a great night. Looking forward to more Actress fun!

[lalaland]

Thank you Scott for a great evening. I was really impressed with your staff who very efficient friendly and appeared to 'have a brain'. I'm sure your pre-opening night generosity will be repaid as we all become regulars at 'The Actress' Once again. Many thanks.

[Nero]

Missed out due to workage, but popped my head inside this morning, and it looked great. Glad to see Meantime beer on sale (tho' wasn't able to make out whether it wast IPA.)

[georgia]

Thanks for a very enjoyable evening, the free drinks were much appreciated and I really like what you've done with the place.

[AllyCat]

Thought it was great night Scott - such an improvement on The Uplands! The pizza was sooooo good - looking forward to trying a whole one next time...: )

Clarence looked like he was enjoying the evening too!

Lovely to see a few EDF's there too....

[DulwichFox]

Cheers Scott,

Vast improvement on The Uplands. Really Good evening.

Now with The Bishop, The Actress & The Victoria Inn. Spoilt for choice.

Once again Thank You

[Huguenot]

It'd be great to see some shots of the new place.

Us from the diaspora only get to experience these delightful local assets through photo galleries :-)

[Brendan]

Oh fuk is there an East Dulwich diaspora too? I can't be part of 2 diasporas. It's all way too much for one man.

[citizenED]

Hey, where the scott joplin was my invite?
