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

If I was ever allowed out, I'd try both.

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...

    • This leaflet has the tone of a social media post emanating from Mar-a-Largo at 2am. The Lib Dems adopting the vernacular of the far right. Truly shameful.  What constitutes a RADICAL MARXIST? Is that distinct from a moderate marxist (lower case)? Cultural Marxist is used in right-wing circles as code to disparage Jews. So, exactly what is a RADICAL MARXIST, Lib Dems? Perhaps James Barber could pop like a low-rent (but equally annoying) Microsoft paperclip to explain: “Hi, looks like you’re thinking of voting for a Marxist…”
    • lol! The Greens have picked up a bunch of support into the last few months precisely because they have gone much further to the left. If you wanted a leaflet that made disaffected Labour voters aware that there was a leftist alternative to Labour in Dulwich, and to reassure mainstream Labour voters feel like the Corbynite fringe was fucking off at long last, then this is what it would look like.  Meanwhile the Lib Dems' solution to SEND and social care funding crises, a failure to build any private or social housing, climate change and all the rest is..."community wardens". 🤣 They really seem to be out of tune with the state of the country at the moment: it's crazy that they could have observed the comms failure of Starmer's incremental managerialism and thought to themselves, "you know what people want? More of that attitude, but with even less impact".
    • Ollie's is another restaurant concept from the same people that do the Megan's chain. It was pretty mercilessly mocked on a thread somewhere on here. The Megan's branch on Lordship Lane closed not that long after it opened for a rebirth as an Ollie's, but it didnt seem to have happened last time I noticed. The Crown & Greyhound is closed until Thu 19 March for renovations (and staff training, hopefully...). The Romeo Jones booze and entertainment licence application closes for comments sometime this week. Simba Dulwich Ltd is the applicant. https://southlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/london-borough-of-southwark-simba-dulwich-ltd-premises-licence-1.pdf  
    • I don't know whose idea in the Lib Dems it was to put round a flyer saying that James' radical Marxist (in red caps) views are "at odds with East Dulwich and Goose Green residents", plus a load of ridiculous alarmist b******s. They may like to know that putting this round has had the opposite effect on me to that presumably intended. In local elections I usually vote for individuals who I think will do a good job  rather than  voting for particular parties, but as far as I am concerned the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the contents of this flyer, because I shan't be voting for any of them.
