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

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
