Viv and I have to give you the SAD NEWS THAT HOOPERS WILL BE CLOSING WITH EFFECT FROM Xmas Eve.


Haven't the time to explain the problems of running a profitable pub just now, but you can probaly guess anyway. If you call in, I will be happy to explain a few of the reasons we had to come to this sad decision.


We would love to say our farewells to all the customers and neighbours we have become friends with over the last 6 years, so if you want to catch up with us, we will be HERE FROM Thursday 20th from 6pm, and all weekend from 4pm Fri 21st to Sun. 23rd.


However it is not our style to go out with a wimper, so we are putting one last gig this Friday, which we think will be of interest both to you. It is the annual Xmas bash of the Nunhead Folk Circle at 8.00pm on Friday 21st Dec.


http://nunheadfolkcircle.com/index.html and listen to some of their music on http://nunheadfolkcircle.com/Music.html


Think mistletoe, log fires and mulled wine! Plenty to get you in the Xmas mood!


We will continue to offer the best in micro-brewed ales to the end, with new Selhurst local brewer, Clarence & Fredericks, as well as Redemption and Burton Bridge all available.


There are also some bargains in our foreign bottled beer ranges to be bagged!


We wish everyone a very Happy Christmas, and hopefully, dear God, a more prosperous New Year

So sorry and sad to hear this Jamie, I know how much hard work and imagination you and Viv put into the pub and I've had some lovely times there. It's a great loss to the area, that's for sure.


Always a pleasure and Jason and I will pop in before last orders if we can (little one permitting.


I wish you the best of luck with the next chapter.


Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year to you both

I'm very sad to hear this. Hoopers was easily one of the best pubs in the area and its selection of ales was second to none. Also enjoyed the great entertainment there too. I've thoroughly enjoyed the times I've spent in there over the last six years and will try and pop in for a slurp or two before you close. Best of luck Jamie and Viv for the future and thank you very much for your great hospitality.

There were/are a couple of people in the pipeline with possible business plans for it to continue as a pub, apparently.


But yes they may not be viable, so worst case scenario would be flats - at least it's unlikely to become a betting shop, which has been the fate of many pubs (often prior to then becoming flats, of course .....)

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
