Forgive me Matt, but what exactly is a gay friendly pub? Surely a pub is a pub, and your sexuality should have nothing to do with it.....

I debated this issue with someone on another thread matt started in the recommendations section about a month ago. In an ideal world it shouldn't have anything to do with it, but in reality it does. I think we concluded that the PRPG is gay friendly. Reviews also say that the food is good there too.

Ha Ha.. indeed. Though I don't recollect any cockring scenes in P.A.? Perhaps they are included as 'rare deleted scenes' in the DVD box set?

would not apply to a hetro friendly pub as well, im not too fond of getting threatened in pubs or getting a hiding on the way home for that matter.

I would like to say that one's sexuality does not matter when you go into a bar or pub, I go to the Uplands with my boyfriend for dinner and its lovely, the service is good and the food wholesome and I dont feel left out, but I have never been into a pub by myself in Lordship Lane yet, so i look forward to having a new local pub in the PRPG.

Dear Mattindulwich18,


My girlfriend and I (I'm laydee!) are new regulars to the Rye pub and it has passed our happy homo test - have even spotted some other family there on more than one occassion.


I must say that it is not very diabetic friendly however. We went in there the day we moved house and my poor old Dad was having a hypo so I asked to get some food (after buying a large round of drinks). They responded with a militant "We are not serving food for another hour". I eventually got some prawn crackers and a stale piece of bread out of them after much pleading - talk about jobsworths!


To be fair, some of the newer staff I've seen are very lovely and helpful and being of a certain persuasion, we do particularly like the decor, garden and dog-friendly policy too.


Has anyone been to the Forest Hill Tavern lately? They are trying very hard - the chef gave us free puddings to try last time we were there and the quiz is quite good. It would be great to see more people there.

Overpriced toss hole with the rudest staff in London if you ask me but then I am biased having had one of the snooty stuck up bar staff interupt a table of my friends to ask one of them to settle a bar bill from a previous evening that she PRESUMED was hers. If embarrasing my friend in this way was not enough she then proceeded to hound her round the pub. I, quite happily, have not been back since and do not intend to.

I've had a few bad experiences in there too. Scott the funny and sweet manager/boss seems to have a tendency to let the pressure get to him whereupon he becomes a right stroppy old queen. After being scolded a couple of times I haven't been back.


It's a nice place though, as long as you deal with the bad attitude.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.

      I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.

      Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
