Is that all? Shame.


The Clockhouse keeps getting little face lifts, but never really changes much. It's a pub that I've just never really taken to over the years, and I can't really put my finger on why.

Well, that is strange. I had an email from the Clockhouse with an offer on dining with wine that runs through Jan until 21st Feb??? The link takes you to the Youngs website which then goes on to say that the Clockhouse is taking part in the promotion????


http://www.youngs.co.uk/dinewithwine-jan-2013.asp

The Clock House is undergoing a big refurb. The toilets at the back will be moved to an upstairs (that doesn't exist as yet) and an open kitchen is going to be created at the back turning it into a far more serious dining/ gastro pub. So it is a serious refurb. Time will tell if it pays off (competition is pretty stiff already for eating out locally). My poker night moved to the Herne as a result (but it's a move that was for the better).


Helen I had the same email and printed the same said vouchers.....but it's a promotion that youngs run several times a year so there'll be other opportunities to take it up.

I agree regarding Youngs. I think they've had completely the wrong business model for the Clock House for a while. It used to be reknown for food and rammed most weekends (was my fav local for years) but has died a slow and painful death for a while now.

Ditto peoples comments on clock house


The Dulwich wood house is also youngs. It also had a major refurb (18 months ago?).

It's got to be one of the worst run pubs I've ever been in - awful. Cr*p, overpriced food, ALWAYS Understaffed ( and badly staffed)


Youngs need to work out that some farow&ball paint and a glossy menu doesnt make for a good boozer

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
