About 400 at the moment. Bishop looks to have run away with Black Cherry had a late surge and seems to have secured second.


CPT in a respectable 3rd at the moment, guess I have to be happy with that, it's not bad at all considering the competition :)-D


That said, I still can't believe The Bishop will have the title "Best Bar in East Dulwich", I would have gone for the CPT, EDT, Plough, Cheery, Inside, FHT and possibly even the Mag above The Bishop (no particular order there by the way).

So there you go, The Bishop wins, but The Black Cherry run it really really close in the end, they must have left it just too late to start getting their mates to vote! ;-) Anyway, well done the Bishop. I don't take back anything I said, but you won fair in an open vote, so somebody loves you.

Congratulations to the Bishop and obviously Scott and his staff. I'm not a regular but there have been a few times when I've enjoyed a late one in there. When you consider what a dump this place used to be under it's previous incarnation as the Forresters I think the award is well deserved. Nice to see there is still healthy competition out there too in the shape of the Black Cherry which ran it very close.

Interesting that someone mentioned the Florence (ex-Brockwell Park Tavern) because I love the Bishop and I'm very pleased that it won but I think the Florence is a dreadful cock-up. The food was really average, the service terrible, staff uppity. I'll never go back.


The Bishop's great though.

We'll agree to differ Charlie, I think the food is dreadfully bland in the bishop, and thus I just drink in the florence*, but beer second to none in the area.


Oh and congrats to Green & Blue with another late surge and almost made it to third


The Bishop - 85

The Black Cherry - 77

The Crystal Palace Tavern - 43

Green & Blue - 40

The East Dulwich Tavern - 33



*I've just recalled I had a pretty reasonable sunday lunch there once.

The Uplands (bless it) is just a bit of a nothing really. Best description I ever heard for it was a friend saying "It's like having a beer in a cinema bar".

Clarence has a whole pub named after him on Balham High Road, or Hill SW12 (same road, not sure where it changes from High Road to Hill), what more does he want!? ;-)

The Uplands is pretty awful. Cavernous interior with no atmosphere. Unfirendly staff and clientele. Bitter was served so cold it was nearly a solid and my girlfriend's "cocktail" was A large glass of ribena with gin in it - and an umbrella!


Apparently it has rooms.

You are obviously a marathon runner PGC, most of the people I know less than half that amount would suffice;-)

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      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
