incredible why would thomas keller want to come from California with all of his accolades to work on a small lane in london - surely west end stuff would be more his style - will look forward to seeing what really happens to this space and if it really is HIM then i shall be first in the queue .......yum
I really like the management at the Herne. They have made my poker group on Thursdays feel very welcome and have been very accomodating (far better than the management of the Clock House, our former hosts). The food is good and reasonably priced and so too the beer. There will be new management but it is not closing. Why would it when it has no end of loyal customers.

Possibly then the manager at the Herne has changed since I and (according to their posts on this forum) several other people had problems with him a few years back.


ETA: Or possibly he was "spoken to" re his lack of good customer service and subsequently upped his game.


Who knows? I haven't been back there since.

Darral at the Herne is lovely in our opinion and he has been the manager there for maybe the last 5 years?


We think he is great, and really accomodating whenever we go in.


Makes for a lovely pub in the summer now we have our two year old too :)


I hope he isn't lost under the new management.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
