What happened to the Late Knights thing? Missed their beers on Saturday....also the outdoor bar is a welcome improvement but still a long queue that could be alleviated by simplifying the selection and a sign before the tent with the options? 300 people pausing to work out which of the ten craft beer cans they want doesn't really work too well. Great to see a win though!

I agree that improving information about beers/prices would help so that people can make a choice before getting to the front of the queue. There is a large blackboard behind the bar but it remains unused to date.

The bar was very busy on Saturday (they had to restock apparently) but I think the queue was caused in part by the fact that it was understaffed. This appears to be something the club is addressing (and for which they are paying London Living Wage):

The new outside bar is a great addition and a few minor teething problems are only to be expected. Sadly, no more home games until 19/11 - at least that provides time to recruit!

I spoke to man who knows a man in the Brick Brewery recently and he suggested that LK's head-brewer was going to be part of some "backed" enterprise. But not sure whether the LK brand will survive. He thought not.


Good news if it's being rescued.

That's sad to hear re. Late Knights but makes a visit to their still trading Beer Rebellion pubs in Peckham & Gipsy hill a must for me if it helps them out.


Back to the outdoor bar - definitely a positive addition. But give people too much choice and it takes longer for them to order and longer for bar staff to locate the cans. The choice they currently have is already much more than most pubs in the area and if people want to get fussy about it ...go to the pub instead! I reckon all it needs is 3 or 4 choices max. Perhaps a regular golden IPA, something dark plus a bog standard mass produced lager.


A choice of three priced to the nearest ? and perhaps contactless payment would help it tick nicely.

Last two home (Saturday) games the queue for the outside bar was very long - 15 minutes or so as you approach half time. On the positive side you can still watch most of the action until you actually get inside.


I agree - knowing the options before you approach the front would help a lot. It was a recurring conversation for all those ahead of me. They also managed to run out of Gamma Ray just as I was approaching the front each time, so a sign of what's available (a smaller selection) and what's still in stock should move things along nicely.

Spot on Jah. I was wondering what it was that seemed familiar...I couldn't figure it out!


And I'd love a pair of those cerise socks! :))

A perfect case of 'lazy journalism'...load of nonsense really. When I spoke to him I told him I knew it would the usual 'crap stitch up job' (My name is Mishi Morath) and, surprise surprise...it was!

But I'm firmly in the 'all publicity is good publicity' camp..and you simply can't buy 'advertising' space like this.

You actually don't have to go to Wembley...


At 7.00pm, in the Club Boardroom, we are holding a small non-denominational wreath laying ceremony at the Club War Memorial. This will be following by the bar being open, where you can watch the England v. Scotland match on the televisions in our bar. Thus saving yourself lots of money, and not to far to travel home...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
