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

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
