I'd have to say the Gowlett..... The lucky 7s night is a winner for sure. Luckily for the clientele all my late 80s hardcore is 12" >:D< Great beer, Pizza good, friendly people and relaxed atmosphere. Also a table version of Galaxian ... how can you beat that? Just gutted I missed out on that house in Ondine a few years ago... although perhaps a good thing now I think about it.

It's the cellar in the Castle, it's the perfect temp. for Guinness. That and the traditional Irish and West Indian clients who demand a perfect pint. Very nice pub but I've not been in there for years.

Ahem! Been going down the Dog (Crown & Greyhound to you newbies) since I was 15 so I still feel it's my local. I also like the Guinness in the Castle as it's the best locally for that but I am an infrequent visitor there.

I like the CPT for the football and it's friendly barstaff, the EDT I also like a lot, Inside 72 occasionally (great sound system and eclectic mix of music), Black Cherry for cocktails and Green & Blue for fine wine.

I haven't been to the Clockhouse since it was done up about 18 months ago but used to enjoy sitting outside there on the odd occasion in the summer and watching the world go by with a few pints of Youngs Best. Best for food though is the Rye Hotel.

Not as good as the Bridge Inn, which used to be my local when I lived in Topsham :)-D


Though the very eccentric landlord/lady are no longer there, I think :'(

Favourite pub, well there isnt so many to choose from now that they've all been Claphamised but, i'd say that the best ED drinking hole is probably the CPT, although I still have a soft spot for the Castle because Mary is such a lovely lady.


Louisa.

I think most of the pubs in East Dulwich have been ruined in recent years and there are relatively few traditional pubs left. AFter the Moore Park Hotel in Wood Vale closed, I thought the Herne Tavern was a good alternative, but they ruined that when it was yuppified last year, and now the Forest Hill Tavern has been ruined too. I suppose the Castle has got to be the best pub left round here now.
I like a nice traditional pub, not one that has been ruined like the Herne, or turned into a ghastly gastro pub full of yuppies with young children in pushchairs. I've lived in this area for over 30 years, and have been dismayed by the recent gentrification and trendification of what was once a nice ordinary area. East Dulwich was always a nice unpretentious part of London and was a world apart from Dulwich Village, but it has changed beyond recognition in the past few years - in my opinion very much for the worse.

    • No, you didn’t write the article. But unless you’re a Telegraph subscriber, you haven’t read the article either. Have you read it? The psychopath Telegraph lives behind a (rubber) paywall but using this kind of sensationalist, accusatory headline gets it traction on social media. The headline becomes more important than the article; many will see it and some will take it as a statement of fact. And it will be shown on endless “let’s take a look at the papers” segments on TV and radio for 12 hours or more in every news day. And so, a tiny number of reactionary, right wing hacks has a vastly disproportionate influence on the popular conversation despite the papers they work for being bought by almost nobody these days. 
    • Trelco are wonderful. James has been super reliable and they are a gem to have around us locally. Trust them completely, will give honest advice and have very fair pricing for all small work around the house or bigger plumbing projects. I've used them multiple times and they will always find the time to help, even when they are busy they will pop round to make sure we aren't stranded which is a nice touch.
    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT).
