The draft house was closed too. Was meeting a friend that night there and he text me to say that and the plamerston was shut.

He was told the draft house was closing straight after he was served a pint and had 4 minutes to drink it ...lucky thats all it takes for him usually ;)

I was in The Ship in The Borough recently.

They had a 'Photographer' ? photographing plates of food.

It was a pretty amateur set up without the usual Lighting and 'Cosmetic' tricks usually associated with trying to

make a plate of 'crap' look edible.


The food there is generally pretty poor.


So perhaps Youngs are attempting to up the standards in ALL their outlets.


Beer IS good though.


NOT good if you prefer to drink 'Arty Farty Fruit Bitters' at ?8.00 a pint.

Like 'Ramsey's Old'e Stoat & Pinapple Head Banger 9%'


I made that up. So Formites need not complain if you cannot find it in ED.

That's a great vid, and spot on....the d**kheads are in the process of launching an assault on Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill.

Just because he/she didn't have a huge set up doesn't mean anything - natural light is a very powerful thing and most modern food photography is entirely naturally lit. That said I wasn't there so didn't see what the food looked like etc and I do agree about their general crapness.


Went to the Clockhouse once and just felt so 'meh' about the whole place we left after two drinks.

Hi All,


Just to say The Clockhouse is now open again after our refurb, you will see some big changes including a brand new menu...not your standard "young's" menu. Pop down and give us a try...i think you will be very impressed!!!

I agree that it was pricey, which is one reason why people stopped going there and if the priceyness and poor value has stayed then there'll be initial interest followed by a tail off (unless the food is absolutely amazing of course).


There is an abundance of pubs locally where I can get a nice pint of cider on tap for less than ?4 and get a decent main meal for around/less than a tenner. The Clock House for 15 years was my first choice local pub, but then just became stupidly expensive for the regular pub goer. I don't mind paying over the odds for a good meal but it would be a treat, not a regular thing. Similarly I resent paying West End prices in a South London enclave, and in that respect I think Youngs had been milking us all, and paid for it with a loss of custom.


But I'll take a look for myself before the weekend and see if anything is different in that respect.

We are no longer the "old Clockhouse" It's a band new refurb, new menu, new bar. On our menu we also do small plates that are perfect for sharing so no need to necessarily order mains if you didn't want to!


Everyone changes including us, pop in and try the NEW Clockhouse.

any chance you could update your website? perhaps with a menu?

All I can glean from the website is that they do marmalade bread and butter pudding, and that was from a tweet copied onto the website.


Other than that, all it says is that the pub is now open ..... oh, and that they had a lovely moment this morning ...... :))

    • 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.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
