What pubs would you recommend meeting? - both within your bubble and (outside) in groups of up to 6.


I did a few pubs after 4 July and noticed a massive difference - from those only taking booking and using table service to a scrum at the bar, the latter was a bit uncomfortable and this was during a low number of cases so don't plan to go back at present. I've not been out for a drink since we went up a notch.


please go beyond SE22 eg Nunhead, Peckham and Honor Oak/Forest Hill. Thanks.

Have I lost the plot?


I thought in Tier 2 you weren't allowed to sit on the same table as people from another household, including outside?


My partner and I recently cancelled pints and pizzas at the Gowlett with a friend for that reason.

I think you can meet up outside at pubs subject to rule of 6.


Outdoors, you can meet in groups of up to 6 people.


This includes in:


pubs and restaurants

leisure and entertainment venues

places of worship

Horses for courses I suppose, but why oh why are people - during the time of a pandemic which only transmits through close contact and contaminated surfaces - going to pubs, of all places ?

Actually, no, it's not even horses for courses, because that's about personal preference.

We're in a serious pandemic, where is the collective responsibility ?

I'm after pubs that are properly following the rules - track and trace, hygiene, at-table service, staff with protective equipment, controls on in door (household/bubble) and outdoors (rule of six). Some were very lax. We could all abuse the rules, whether we meet outdoors in a pub or in a park. That's an issue for another thread. Thanks for the recommendations - I know most of the places well but plastic grass was the final straw for the Dulwich Woodhouse, a place I adored up until the 00s - younger/newer residents wont know how wonderful it was. But again that's for another thread.


One thing not so keen on is needing an app to order. Don't mind on-line booking, which can be a good thing on the T&T.

In Tier 2 you can't mix household inside but it's the rule of 6 outside afaik. Whenever we booked at the Gowlett to be inside, they've asked if we are in the same household and the inside has been super well ventilated (Big Jackets are advised...)

I think most local pubs are being very strict with the new regs. GE were keen to check household bubble etc and the 6 to a table, The Herne have the sanitise on entry, zap the track and trace, facemasks etc - plus only family groups inside and tables of 6 outside. Their garden is pretty large so tables well spaced.

I have not been to a 'spoons' so cannot report on their response, but I feel that most pubs in East Dulwich are being very careful to maintain all their customers safety.

No that was 170 years ago in Hyde Park, there may have been a lot of space to socially distance but I haven't got a time machine

I found myself agreeing on half of the pubs, the other half I loathed. Not sure if they are the deserters faves (good shout for Con) or just known pubs with canopies etc.

    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
