In Southwark News today - The Plough has increased it's outdoor space to now accommodate 200 people. How will this impact on local residents?. We live on Barry Road and for the majority of the time have had very little to complain re noise in the Pub's garden and would hope that this will remain. I know before lock down they wanted to put up an extended conservatory but this was abandoned last year.

It's outdoor space is pretty big. Can honestly say never seen more than about 20 people absolute max in the garden, guess the gap between outdoor and indoor being open might change that.


That's the main reason I used to go there sometimes. Never a queue, beer is ok and M&B food is passable if you stick to simple things.

We stuck to simple things and they were appalling and not cheap either.


I did complain at the time. I felt very sorry for the person who had to bring them to us.


How can you ruin a toasted sandwich, FFS?!

Good luck to them.


@Pugwash. Good advice to speak to them. The Cherry Tree on Grove Vale has a garden but from memory of signs I have seen inside it closed at 10pm. Obviously this was before the pandemic when people could come inside. I think it was a condition of the licence.

Might be worth raising your concerns with your local Councillor and asking the council what their advice to businesses / local residents is. There are going to be various businesses and communities around the Borough affected by reopening and associated impacts. We all need to adjust to the changes. I?d anticipate more noise - it?s unavoidable 200 people create more noise than 20. There will only be so much staff can do and as Nigello said people generally don?t want bad outcomes.

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
