Eh?


The Dog is fine to have a drink in.


Don't know about the food as I've never eaten there.


ETA: I mean never eaten there in its most recent incarnation.


I had one of the very worst meals of my life there about ten years ago ......

Blimey - what were the Dulwich Estate up to allowing a Bikers pub into the village - they won't even allow cashpoints!

I popped into the Dog last week and asked and they said the pub would stay the same but obviously the hotel bit would need the approval of the Dulwich Estate, which it still hasn't got. And, knowing the Dulwich Estate it will probably be a resounding "No." That's my take on it.

When it's in Dulwich Village and not East Dulwich.


Louisa.

As you say, it's "fine" but not "great". I wouldn't go out of my way to visit it. Dulwich Village could do with some more destination restaurants and pubs IMO - and this sounds like it could be just the ticket.

    • Both notoriously “lovely” people to spend any time with or worse, serve 
    • No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.     
    • Lloyd Weber and Cilla Black were supposed to leave when Blair got in, but didn't
    • You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.
