Hey apologies didn't mean to offend those who put in the time and energy to get the pub up and running.


Thanks for flagging up the community open day on the 7th of March.


Unfortunately it clashes with Southwark Homeowners conference although that finishes at 5pm.


If you want I can take a couple of tupperware boxes along and bring sandwiches back in the evening guys? The council always overdo it at these events...:).


Offering this as I'm aware the Ivyhouse management committee were reluctant to appoint auditors even after the floor tried to explain these could be non elected members and would not cost like external auditors do and there is unlikely to be any freebies (sandwiches) for existing shareholders.


If you think my offer to purloin a few sandwiches is strange I'd like to know why you think it's not strange to appoint auditors particularly prior to launching another share release and where the committee admitted there was a hole in stock? What exactly are funds being used for?


Having a party is one way of keeping people sweet I suppose.


No doubt we'll be hoping a lot of prospective shareholders will be woooooed! so further 'local/community' events can be organised.


K.

I find it quite appalling that the staff went on strike at the Ivy House over pay and conditions. I'll wager that they were already being paid a decent barstaff wage with it being community owned, rather than a ruthless pubco like Young's. I'd have dismissed them all on the spot.

Do you actually know the background to this?


If not, maybe better not post?

Many pubs I go to have told me that with the East European staff exodus bar staff aren't as easy to come by these days.


If we have to pay more for bar staff due to supply and demand then prepare to pay slightly more for a pint (I notice I'm already paying ?6 plus in some pubs)

What a shame that the Brothel is no longer open on Underhill Road as this may have provided alternative employment. How and why would you have sacked them on the spot? I'm not particularly sympathetic to the staff at that time but your post does amuse me. What is a decent wage by the way?

Hey Katesonic,


We get that you don?t like the place now however there is non need of spreading false information around, you should have done some more research instead of just posting a thread like this.


It?s very disappointing to see people post like this just because a place doesn?t please them...


Anywhoos, peace and love ✌️

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
