Update on The Patch from... The Patch!!!

Curiously no planning application on the Southwark Website yet.


Planning for what? - it's not change of use - are they altering the external structure? Clearly the licence has to change hands - but that would be a licencing committee, not a planning committee?

There's a link to the ES article further up this thread, but here it is again to save you looking!

What do the Patch people say is inaccurate?


Where did the ES get their information from?

Just been looking at the Patch tweets, and on 1 April they tweeted that the lease was to be signed "this week" (ie the week of 1 April).


And on 11 April they tweeted


The piece about Keri and the Patch in the Standard is entirely misquoted and untrue - they have mis reported the facts to a huge extent


but when somebody (not me!) asked The Patch (on Twitter) whether they could say which bits were inaccurate, there was no response.


It's difficult not to compare this saga with the way The Ivy House community purchase has been completed and publicised, with a comprehensive business plan and a proper community share issue.


The public meeting at The Ivy House on Sunday was rammed to the gills, and the presentation by the management team was truly inspiring.

Because it's one of the pubs nearest to my home, and I've been going to it on and off for around twenty years probably, quite regularly in some of its more recent incarnations!


I'd like to know what's happening to it, and I can't understand why there seem to be so many apparently premature announcements.


For example, there was this on 13 November where nonold said that the decision on who was taking over the Mag was being made that week - that was over five months ago!

Then the present temporary landlord Tony appears to think that he is also still in the running to take over the lease:

An extract from Tony's thread: Hi sue we are here to see if we can make the pub work again and then we have the option to take on the lease. I hope this help's.


Yet on 3 April The Patch posted this on their Facebook page:


Hi all,

Meeting up with the Enterprise Inn people tomorrow, tying up a few loose ends. It would be great if we could show a bit of movement on Kickstarter! So please spread the word and get your friends pledging!! Every little bit counts!


I also can't understand apparent discrepancies in statements about exactly what The Patch is supposed to be, and how it can possibly be a) community owned b) fully independent or c) fully self-sufficient, but I'm not going to bang on about that again. Oh, I just did. :)


My interest is as a local resident and prospective Mag regular, and nothing to do with the Goose music nights, as it is highly unlikely that http://www.thegooseisout.com will ever return to the Mag (sadly, as we had some great nights there!)

    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.
