Went in for a roast and wow was I not disappointed in the slightest! Hoped to have the lamb shank but had sold out so went for the chicken instead, glad I had it! Beautifully seasoned and cooked to perfection. The rosemary roasted potatoes were delightful and the rooted mash veg was the perfect companion to an overwhelmingly amazing chicken roast dinner, will for sure be coming back again! Please save me some of those honey mustard pigs in blankets for next time!!


Tried to add a photo of the roast but file is too large :(

We were lucky enough to have the lamb and the pigs in blankets. Both were absolutely incredible. So happy to have a good roast on our doorstep. Also managed to take a snap!

First post? Sounds remarkably like one of those paid-for "reviews" in local papers ..... :)

Ah bollocks. Hard to get footfall in that location but I did like to pop in at times and the beer was great. I went in this week on Monday and the beer was slightly off, despite the lovely service. Wishing them all the best of luck with all the good stuff they are doing elsewhere. Really good people and passionate about good beer.

Ah bugger. I suppose im probably symptomatic of a number of people located in and around 'central' east dulwich...I liked the idea of this pub, and have always been intending to go....but whenever i've popped out for a beer, its not top of mind to go in that direction down lordship lane. But thenm every time I drove past when heading south for whatever reason, I though 'I must go there next time'.


I never did, and seemingly, never will.

Real shame but not entirely surprised as it was rarely (ever) busy. But pity for it to close before the summer allowed for the outside area value to kick in.


I got caught out a couple of times taking friends and being told no food that day so we didn?t stay long. I think not being on Untappd or posting their beer list anywhere helped either in terms of getting beer nerds in.


Will take my share of the blame though - I only made it in monthly despite being around the corner.

Sorry to hear this, but not surprised, sadly.


Given there are no other bars near there it might have done well, but unless it got enough business from nearby residents it couldn't have thrived, because it didn't seem sufficiently appealing to be a destination for others.


We went once. It was OK, but there was no food when we went, and there wasn't any atmosphere. Bit chicken and egg, as there was nobody else in there to create the atmosphere.


Hope they haven't lost too much money on it :(

Living nearby, I'd high hopes for the place. However, it was an odd space - it didn't feel finished and needed greater investment. Shabby, but not shabby chic, so didn't pull in the local families. Beer selection didn't rival places like the Watson General Telegraph and the completely unpredictable presence of food was a killer. I popped in for a quick lunch and a couple of drinks on a Saturday afternoon, but the kitchen was closed. One pint and a packet of crisps later, I packed up and went home. It's a shame to see the place not succeed, but it just didn't work either.


I'd be all over the Barcelona Beer Dispensary...

It's fair to say that (Barcelona apart) few establishments have lasted very long on this site. But to be any sort of destination it had to have a consistent offer - which included (considering its location) a consistent food offering. A 'beer only' establishment might have worked on LL (where there are numerous food outlets) - but stuck out there if it couldn't offer food as well (on a regular, consistent and quality basis) it was surely doomed.

This was what they posted last October, so I don't know what happened:


"Just to keep you all in the loop regarding our food offer... From this week we will have the magnificent Stranger Naans guys providing delicious meals every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 5pm onwards and on Saturdays from midday 'til late. Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays from Sunday 14th October we will have local foodsters Taco De Planta serving up their gorgeous Tacos. If you have any questions feel free to drop us a line at [email protected].


Much love,


The DBD team x"

Probably not enough people going through the door I imagine.

recentish beer heavy offers haven't even worked on the Lane - place that followed Black Cherry (name escapes me) and to a lesser degree (offer and location) The Flying Pig.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
