If anyone needs a great painter and decorator, I'd be happy to recommend Vinton. I got his details from another thread on the forum and he just finished up painting by bedroom and hallway. He has done an amazing job, was punctual, polite and discreet the whole time.

If you need any work doing, give him a shout for a quote: Vinton: 07708 501936

Hi, I'd like to add my recommendation for Vinton too - he painted the front of our house and fixed and painted the wall and gate - he did a brilliant job and a very reasonable price, he is extremely helpful and very reliable too, we'd definitely use him again

I would like to recommend a local painter called Vinton (M: 07708 501 936). He did a great job in a room that hadn't seen a lick of paint in a couple of decades. The ceiling needed doing, the walls needed filling. Vinton did a beautiful job, was flexible and worked really hard to get the job done quickly. Above all, he found solutions to problems and went the extra mile to make sure the finish was good.

I?d just had Vinton paint our bedroom, bathroom and hallway throughout the house. He was really quick, efficient and easy to have around the house. The job has been done quickly and reasonably, he went above and beyond and touched up extra bits around the house. Would defo recommend and use him again.

We had Vinton come round to do some work for us and he was brilliant. He was very flexible with our slightly complicated hours and carried out an excellent decorating job. I would thoroughly recommend him and will definitely get him back when we need more work done.
Another recommendation for Vinton. He redecorated our exterior masonry and all timber windows and doors which frankly needed a lot of work. He's done a great job, on time and at a good price. Really nice to deal with too. He's now working on two of our neighbours' houses

Another recommendation for Vinton who has just finished a big job for me. He painted the whole house (walls, woodwork & panelling). He rubbed down all the wood and filled in all the crack to ensure everything was done to a high finish.


Most importantly, Vinton is really trustworthy and I felt comfortable to leave him with the keys and to complete work when I wasn’t around.


Would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a decorator. He is also very decently priced.

Here is another recommendation for Vinton. We used him to redecorate our house before renting it out.


He was extremely efficient, showed up on time every day, and was exceptionally friendly and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others.


His number is +44 7708 501936,

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
