All Bar One is looking for ED home/Franklins organics in LL (Lounged)

MitchK, I totally disagree.

Replacing ordinary supermarkets with more expensive shops selling luxury goods is not beneficial for the whole community, just some sections of it.

And higher property prices are not necessarily "good", at least not for the people who want to make this area their long term home rather than exploit it with short to medium term property investments.

Had a mushroom and haloumi burger in All Bar one - very nice. Horses for courses folks. It may mean you don't have to see the 'others' in your preferred watering hole. Win win relaly.

SE22 was really good - and they used to play great jazz on Sunday lunchtimes.

Er... Keef All Bar One do not own the Phoenix Denmark Hill Station. That is owned by Mitchell and Butlers, owned by er, I've lost track of who owns who now. All Bar One might be part of that lot now. Come to think of it the Shite Fart in Crystal Palace. Oops that was a genuine typo, I think deserves to be left, please excuse the guff, is a Mitchell and Butlers as well. As is the Commercial in Herne Hill and The Gipsy Moth in Greenwich and and... They have many dotted around. Their signature is they try to appear independent. They are not. They are a chain. Like All Bar ONe.

Sorry if this is filling in on stuff that's already been pointed out. I just get pissed off that few people actually know anything accurate when it comes to the pub trade. It's full of myth and nonesense. Which I enjoy adding to. And kind of hate and love working in.

Not exactly breaking news, Mr Dodds!

Er, I'm not sure I ever said they did did I? :-S

[Mscrawthew]

Is anyone any wiser as to what is going on in there. Seems like the workmen have started in the tyre shop (?)

[macroban]

M&B have a minor financial problem. Don't think they will be involved!

[Mscrawthew]

I heard it was going to be a deli owned by Franklins? The mystery deepens ::o

[Quaywe]

Guess we'll never know about ABO's involvement on this premises however on the grounds that Franklins HAS set up shop on this site it appears my original rumour was pretty much spot on. (tu)

I think that themed bars have a useful role...they keep all the w*nkers out of the decent pubs
