Love them or hate them, spoons are very supportive of CAMRA and always offer decent local ales at reasonable prices. Something certain other chains should take note of.


I get that a Wetherspoons isn?t everyone?s cup of tea, often void of personality, but at least they do cater for a wider audience. As chains go, they?re not bad at offering value for money.

I've been in there for the occasional public meeting but they still remain a bit of a mystery to me. They say they're a private members' club, and offer little sign of publicising or inviting membership. http://www.dcclublondon.co.uk/ Their premises licence permits supply of drinks to members (of 'a club'). http://app.southwark.gov.uk/licensing/LicPremisesGrantedDetails.asp?systemkey=842978


A local forum provided a little more information: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,52432,52900, https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,876431.

Would love a spoons in East Dulwich. I basically cant afford any of the pubs, apart from the odd few in the EDT, but Antic's prices have really crept up in the last couple of years too.


It is never going to happen though! Spoons are closing pubs around inner south London, not opening them. In the space of 3 months alone recently, they closed the Balham one and the Crown and Sceptre in Streatham Hill. Rent rises apparently.


Frankly, East Dulwich is too a fancy area for Spoons.

It used to look welcoming when you drove around the south circular


Could easily be a bikers pub :)

I overheard a conversation in Jazz Barbers yesterday of a guy who im pretty sure said he manages this place. He was saying it is going to close imminently as the building is worth ?10 million, and has presumably been sold.

Top tip... thanks!

Yeah, that's pretty much the problem. It could be a local for the immediate area, but nobody else is going to make the journey especially. I seem to remember only recently, there were rumours of a drive-through McDs...

Doesn?t surprise me with all the Clapham intake. Then again, Clapham has a couple of spoons, and they do very well for themselves. Maybe it?s just the wannabe nature of some locals. They?d like to aspire to Mayfair, but can barely afford Clapham or Battersea, so get stuck round here. Doesn?t mean the rest of us should suffer and pay astronomical prices though.


As I?ve said previously, spoons serves a wide audience, it would naturally perform well around here. It may even boost the night life culture.


Louisa.

This whole thread was always going to be all about "look at me, I'm so down-to-earth, everyone else is an idiotic snob/wannabe"


We all know there's not going to be any ridiculous petition, it's just about YOU, making the same old tedious point. Again and again.


Finally you play your hand, with the same old snide insults that you so love to regurgitate.


Thoroughly unpleasant character. I hope you vomit on your ?2.50 brexit beer.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
