went there on saturday night

the staf were disinterested the drin were epensive the music was on ver loudly and was dance music ...fine.. but people were eating resataurant styleee and prices to match ,we asked for a change in music to somethng more mellow ...nothing happened i think the manager was texting too much to take any notice .. not good enough

Loving the Monty right now. Sweet people , food is pretty good. The only issue is identity. Is it a loud young bar, a footie pub, a gastropub. They'll work this out in time. Right now the only thing they get wrong is music volume. It's crazy having to raise your voice when youre having a quiet, possibly romantic drink/bite.

It is bloody expensive to have Sky Sports in a pub so if they're gonna show it they would want to attract as many customers as possible in order to justify the cost.

Or... they're stealing it somehow.

(And if they are they'll get caught and prosecuted, if anyone reads The Publican now and again they'll know this.)


Another reason I love The Clock House ( - sorry "TCH" to remain in keeping with the trend for tiresome TLAs, or should that be TTLAs) is that they don't have a telly and the music is rarely loud enough to interrupt a conversation and the music is my kinda music too, and - well as well as the great food, Laurence is a bit of a dish int' he.

AND it's across the park.


If I want to watch footie in a pub I'd go to one I knew was legally paying for it and made an effort to accommodate all its customers. Some "football" pubs are right dives.


But this is East Dulwich, we don't tolerate dives, do we!

The beginning of the 1980s? No way - it first started at the 1990 World Cup and accelerated beyond control at "Euro '96". I was at University at the 1982 World Cup and in our hall of residence I remember perhaps 5 or 6 of us watching England games...and definitely no birds..........now everyone from the home counties, birds and all, support one of the predictables..."Oooh I like Chelsea they had lots of Italian players when I started liking Footie"..."Oh Arsenal look good, Melvyn Bragg and Nick Hornby support them"....my families from Mile End, my nan sulked 'cos her dad wouldn't let her go to Wembley in 1923 whilst her brothers bunked in over the gates....I don't have a choice and wouldn't have it any other way

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
