I have to say I would count the Black Cherry as my favourtie place to go out on Lordship Lane as I love a well-made cocktail.. (& partly due to the fact it holds some very pleasant memories there!) and I would certainly be very upset to see it close... but like Keef I'd like to hear from the owners exactly what the problems are before writing petitions etc...

Also would like to say a Here Here on Mikese22 post about suggestions......!

Me too Katy. As you can see there are some right miserable bastards on this Forum. I like the Black Cherry although I haven't been in there for a few months. I do like their cocktails. It would be great if they could use the outside space at the back but it sounds to me like they are going to build an extension. Perhaps Angela could clarify?

haha took the words right out of my mouth Mr Lush (or Ms?). There are def a few Victor Meldrews on here. I for one would be upset if Cherry were to close. Where else can you get a Zombie cocktail?!

katy - you seem to have an interest in council planning appeals - a hobby of yours ? I see your first ever post was asking what the decison was on the on the neros situation a while ago.


a curiously obtuse first post some might ask.


some might also say that the the formal Black Cherry disclaimer notice serves more to arouse suspicions than to dampen it.

Funny... Some people just happen to care Snorky...

lets pretend we are in court



in a criminal court, if I presented the a sequence of coincidences I have hightlighted earlier, The case would quite rightly be dismissed by the judge based on the maxim of beyond reasonable doubt


if however this was a civil case and based on balance of probability rule , then the outcome would likely be very different

Snorkdude,


calm it down buddy, this is a genuine cause and the people are who they say they are and they are not connected to phill props. The neighbours should understand that if the extention gets built then there will be no noise from garden drinking as the extension will be part of the main bar/building and noise will not be heard. Am i right BC?

Personally I can't help feeling sorry for the neighbours who are complaining about the potential noise of any change in usage.


They no doubt have homes and families and don't want their current living standards to be detrimentally affected by a change in a business's usage.


Bars are not the be-all and end-all of an area, the people who live here are though.

I know a group of guys who are fond of a small charity, financially supports its entire running costs.


Similarly the punters, who like BC so much and wants to support it, should visit it more often and just pay double the amount on their bill. That way the BC will have extra income with same number of punters without building the extension and it can continue in business. And everyone lives happily ever after.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
