I think the Dulwich Ukelele Club would be great too (I'm a big fan) but I meant sessions where us lesser mortals can bring our ukes along and jam / learn / strum together. Could fill up an empty time and be great fun (well at least for the players who will need a few drinks to get them going).
delighted to hear this, ditto many of the above references to appaling past experiences of the vale. shame about the football though, none at all?? Also, apart from good beer, friendly bar staff who actually look like they want to be there and talk to you make a pub for me. good luck with it.

Fabulous news! Welcome Chris and Antonia :-)


I'm unbelievably chuffed that you've taken over, have boycotted the pub since this dreadful experience but would love to go back love supporting local business.


Plus the Vale has always felt like it could be so much more, it has bags of potential - and space, just felt a bit dreary with an awful manager.


Look forward to visiting when you're properly up and running

Quiet a trek to the Vale. It has to be worth passing 4 other pubs to get there. :)


Not Footy mad but did go there a few times to watch games not being shown anywhere else..


A large area that is freezing in the winter. Guess it is difficult to heat.


Will pop my head around the door at some time.


Has needed a change for many years now.


Even a Smile :) would make a huge difference.


Fox.

Will the food be home-made or are you buying in from a Brakes Bros style company and just reheating on site?


There are great local suppliers of good quality meat, fish, bread, etc.


Which brewery are you tied to? How much freedom are they giving you with beers? There are some great London and SE England micro-brewers who do great stuff. The Pilgrim Brewery in Reigate for example.


Best of luck with the pub. It's my second nearest and I never go there. I'll certainly give you a chance to turn it around.

Harvey?s /Hooper?s


Is it because they are surnames at all or because they are similar surnames?


I like the habit (more common in Ireland anyway) of a pub being just the name of the owner


I doubt very much it?ll catch on here but I was just pointing out a preference ? I find naming pubs to be increasingly tortuous. Even New Hamlet Inn seems to be trying too hard

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
