Bad news - looks like the Gowlett is closing...

[Roundabout]

Has it re-opened? Thanks.

[jimbo1964]

No.

[JohnL]

I'm feeling more optimistic it will (not got any reason to though so it's blind optimism)

[jimbo1964]

I hope so too. Rode past it this morning but no change to notes in the window.

From The Gowlett Twitter feed:

"If I said it finally looks like we?ll be open before Christmas, how good would that be? So many rugs pulled to date we can?t promise, but the target date 19 December.."

[MirandaS]

I spoke to Jack last night he confirmed if all goes well The G will reopen :))))) Let's hope no more rugs just carpet

[micromacromonkey]

Security shutters going up on the windows at the moment.

[Paradise2]

I have just passed there and the windows and doors are being secured with security metal coverings....so don?t think it will be open anytime soon

[jimbo1964]

Oh dear. According to Gowlett Twitter they're hoping to be open around 19th December?

[Sue]

I also heard via someone who worked there that they were hoping to open again soon.

I've heard it's going to be flats

This must be the worst time of year to start again. All xmas party opportunities and season of goodwill spend gone, many people away over the next 2 or 3 weeks starting from this weekend and a lot of punters will have committed to a new years do already by now. Then they'll have "dry January" to contend with.

In fact shutting it down before what must be the most profitable month of the year for a pub suggests it was a complete basket case

Good luck to them if they do reopen now but I wouldnt want to take it on unless there was a good long rent free period...

[micromacromonkey]

There is no planning application on the Southwark planning portal, no change of use without that I don't think.

[JohnL]

It won't be flats :)

Gowlett always has a New Years Day party - Hope it happens

[DulwichFox]

NOT a good site for flats.. On a corner with No / Limited parking.

Not a big site also.

Although having said that, it happened to The Oglander, corner of Adys / Oglander road.

The Oglander was a bigger site..

Who knows..

It also happened to the pub (can't even remember its name) on the corner of Woodvale and Langton Rise on the Lewisham side. Next to Libretto's.

You ?heard? wrong.

[Flux capacitor]

just seen this message on twitter....

"If I said it finally looks like we?ll be open before Christmas, how good would that be? So many rugs pulled to date we can?t promise, but the target is the 19th" 10:07 AM - 9 Dec 2017

But Ive been Passed the Gowlett and it looks awful since it been boarded up, it's not even board it looks like metal perhaps caged up would be more apt.

[Mick Mac]

so no reopening on 19th it seems?

[DulwichFox]

Other Pubs are available. No one will die.
