Have to say Nutty I'm with you through and through. I live about 250 yds from it and I claim to be in ED, though have an SE15 Postcode. As for where it claims to be (And Alan's counter claims) BUT REALLY DOES IT FUC&ING MATTER! Since when do people define where they will drink by a boozer's postcode??


As for what Alan's problems are ......There is this big gripe about a possible flats conversion of the place, but by the same token he seems to go out of his way to discourage people from visiting, and having a general downer on the place/location. Now, if you don't want the place to convert to flats, then perhaps a more positive upbeat approach to the place, and not moaning about the "Location" would go more towards building up the business, and thus negate the worries about loosing a local boozer?


Alan, why are you so negative about this place?

That's just nuts. Post code shame is a mortal sin.


You are right about having a postive outlook about Hoopers. It is definitely underrated and if people have misconstrued negative comments from my posts then I apologise.


Great real ale, really friendly, guaranteed a seat, shows sport on a big screen, pool table and lap dancers!


Seriously though, I've heard they are making a big effort this Sunday perhaps that will be the start of a new era of really prosperous trade..

I have been reading this thread with a big smile on my face. It started last with nutty asking if the pub quiz at Hoopers cut the mustard. He was encouraged to give it a go by Sean & Mr Bojangles. Nutty let you guys and gals know that he had a good time, albeit not as busy as the places on LL.


This gave Alan Dale the opportunity to throw his usual disparraging opinions of the place, as well as his well known views on postcodes, effectively saying it is irrelevant where you bank, shop or socilise, you should abide by how the Post Office determined postal areas long before any of us were born.


However Alan has obviously got some exciting ideas to make it the most buzzing place in Camberwell, and the envy of those East Dulwichites! So, having spoken to the management, they are willing to allow Alan the opportunity to work with them for a week so that he can start to get his ideas into practice.Hoopers has a Beer Festival starting tonightand if he pops in & makes him self known, they will be pleased to meet him,


Now, about that pub quiz....

Are you asking me to do a sort of Gordon Ramsay kitchen nightmares on the place?


Jazz?! F*ck me!


You need simple food, locally produced, good honest british pub food. Toasted sandwich? F*ck me!


Thanks for the offer but I'm no Gordan Ramsay. More of a fat camp Simon Cowell and I would soil myself if I had to serve real customers in a real bar.


I am happy to make suggestions online though especially if they are welcome.


Glad you've got thick skin and the courage of your convictions to take my unwanted attention and turn it to your advantage..

      Which Dulwich - East/West/Village?

      By jazzer · Posted

      FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two)

      Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose.

      Clean Air Dulwich - who are they?

      By malumbu · Posted

      It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.

      By Sue · Posted

      ??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress,  whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.
