After years of useless managers, dodgy regulars and worse beer, the Ivy House on Stuart Road has miraculously come back from the dead and is well worth a visit. Over the past week or so I've had some of the tastiest real ale it's been my pleasure to sink, namely Castle Rock's Harvest Pale and St Austell Tribute, and the sunday roasts aren't half bad either. Nick, the new manager, has persuaded the Easy Come acoustic open mic night thing to return on Wednesday nights, and by all accounts it's going great guns. Anyway, I'd urge anyone reading this to get down there sometime and give Nick the support he deserves for all his hard work turning this place around

I wouldn't say regularly (yet) and the Wizz Jones gig is this SATURDAY not Friday !!!!


We have three gigs booked here at the mo, and we are seeing how they go before booking any more. All these Ivy House gigs are on a Saturday!


So it's


Wizz Jones plus the Wayne Drury Project this Saturday, 17 September


The very funny John Otway, plus Flameproof Moth and Liz Bentley on Saturday 3 December


and up-and-coming-nearly-there young award-winning traditional folk singer Ewan McLennan on Saturday 28 January with two support singers to be confirmed but who will probably also be up-and-coming young local artists.


All - doors open 7pm, live music starts 8pm, advance tickets available for John Otway and Ewan McLennan at http://www.wegottickets.com/thegooseisout, tickets for this Saturday ?6 on the door only.


If you want to see the Goose continue at the Ivy House, do come down and support us there!


And yeh - great food, and real ale!


:)-D

It's not Nick's forum name

Easy on the conspiracy theories guys, I'm the real Ivy House Nick.


I don't know who Nunhead Matt is in 'real life' but can assure you all I didn't ask/bribe him to write such lovely things about us on here. Maybe he's just a normal person who likes our pub and wanted to spread the word?



For those yet to check us out, The Goose Is Out gig on Saturday would be a great chance to see this lovely venue at its best.


I'll hopefully meet more of you in the future. Cynics and pedants are especially welcome.

I think we need to be quite careful. Those of us that have been reading the EDF for a long time have seen a lot of false posting and false recommendations, but it's dangerous always to doubt the new poster. It makes the forum come across as quite aggressive. It seems to me that recommending a business that has really impressed is exactly the sort of thing that might make someone want to post for the first time, or the first time other than buying and selling.

I'm not very good with this linking stuff, but here's a link (hopefully) to a recent article I penned for the South London Press. It concentrates on the pub's early/mid seventies music heritage...thought it might be of interest...here goes...

    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
    • Best to just get in touch with the council. You need to see what works were approved and the scope.  It's probably advisable to get an independent legal survey (not a standard RICS) and look at current condition, what they said they'd fix, if they did what they said and what the problems are with what they did. Was it just your flat and the other flat mentioned? Asking in case there's any other leaseholder/ tenant involved
