Snorky, your problem is you have strayed outside the remit of the average 'BITE' reviewer.

If you limit your criticisms to eg 'no etched glass panels in lounge area' or 'hardly a beard in sight' - then you should be ok.

Still it seems a shame we should be robbed.. I feel your Bishop review will be worth a look. Why not just post it right here?

Bishop


"Yummy Mummy ? that?s a phrase that make you grind your teeth and mutter vague obscenities at people on public transport isn?t it. I suspect that YM is on e quite happily tossed around by the ?YM? themselves, even if they are far on the wrong side of 30, having lost their best years in climbing the greasy pole of corporate success. You never hear of single mothers on peckham estates being described as YM do you ?


Scummy mummy anyone ?


Hmmmmm



Anyway, the Bishop, If you like your YM hot n ready, the you will feel right at home here in the afternoons, where legions of buggies and their precious loads battle for space on the distressed oak beam flooring. The ramshackle mismatched tables and chairs will be piled high in bar food and swimming in drinks for mothers and children alike.


I witnessed a child barely broaching 2, snugly asleep in his buggy, proudly clutching what looked like his favourite book.? My first 1000 words in German?


I barely know 1000 words in English.


The interior is surprisingly spacious ( GCH Not tested ), with a bar big enough to make paying for drinks relatively hassle free ? and they serve your change on a silver ( coloured ) platter. Nice touch. OK range of beers, including ubiquitous real ales and a decent range of bottles. The depth of the pub and the layout mean its quite easy to get nestled in and enjoy the evening. It does however, get rather busy at the weekends, with punters spilling onto the street, much to the chagrin of the local residents .


It?s missing something though. Not sure what ? there?s nothing to get irked about, the staff are pleasant, beer good, service and foot quite acceptable, But that?s where it ends. Its neither a destination to aim for, nor a local to feel quite comfortable in ? maybe the intrinsically transient nature of the evening crowd- early- mid 20?s renters and first time buyers don?t really cement the place.


The most memorable and oft commented feature of the Bishop is that it?s got a sleek dog that lurks inside. A weimaraner to boot ? a hunting dog that?s doesn?t hunt any more, stuck in the seething melee of SE London.


Quite apt for the Bishop in some ways."

Update - the cap twisting forelock tugging sycophants who run BITE have not stuck up my review of teh Bishop nor have responded to my mails, one week or so on, querying why not.


It is not for me however to suggest any collusion between bar owner and site owners to restrict the reviews to only ones that show the place in a good light - that would be unfair - I does concern me tho'


IT wasnt even a bad review - not really.


So if Mr Bishop is lurking ( along with that tiresome and squat Mr Deli with the bad attitude and hotline to his ambulance chasing solicitor ) - please do tell us what the relationship is between you and teh BITE and why teh BishBosh is the only pub you have to have comments approved by "them"

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
