Went there last night with Bumbalina and chums.

Apologies for crappy telephone photo :-$


Splendid food - big portions, lots of variety, very good vinaigrette on the salad which was perfectly crisp. The Pate was like a light caress during a power cut. Top risotto.


Lovely environment, for the relentless and righteous non-smokers the main bar is free of annoyances like me, but for the worshippers of the evil weed there's a well heated and decorated garden marquee that is kept deliciously snug with garden gas heaters. 'Twas like a harem's boudoir in a very nice way! They'll be able to keep it post July with new regs. I especially like that because sensibly none of them are smokers.


The team were excellent. Charming, helpful, engaging, committed, prompt and just kinda nice to be around.


If you're reading this and have nothing particular to do tonight, then I reckon you should just go! It's on the eastern side of the northern 'peak' of Peckham Rye. The very northern bit - not East Dulwich Road, northerner than that ;-)

No! Damn you and your piety ;-). First you get us banned from polite society, and then you want to torture us outside the ciy gates. You've had your piddling victory, go and harass fat people.


No pikeys there last night, a couple of art students and a couple of pretty girls with alice bands. Don't qualify as inter-toll booth caravanners though.

Are you investing in local hostelries Huguenot? You have been effusive in your praise of The Drum and now the The Rye Hotel.


Either you are expanding your portfolio or your impending departure from ED to foreign parts has quite gone to your head; replacing your usual enlightening theological pontifications with enlightening reviews of pubs.


or are you simply a man of the enlightenment? :)

Just extending the repertoire.


The popularity of LL seems quite to have gone to the head of some of the management, who've forgotten the basics about customer service. Hence a conscious decision to investigate other places.


Won't be in Singapore full time until July after the wedding. Bumbalina and I are going together, so if anyone wants to buy a house??

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
