Mutton out lambing it

[????]

We have a kids' free night on Saturday and the missus and I are thinking of hitting SE15 (it's hip doncha know). Thinking Begging Bowl (do we need to book?), that bar by the station and the Bussey Building (soul train) any other recommendation, ideas locally? I know, I know, I am ancient but the missus less so.

You can't book the Begging Bowl. But if there's no space, you can go for a drink over the road and they'll call you when a table becomes available. I find it a bit annoying, but it's a good excuse to get an extra beer in I suppose.

The Montpellier has been in good form recently quids. My route is Bar Story then onto MontyP. Never been to the Shirley Bussey but heard good things. Bar Story closes round 10 and quite a spill from there go to Montpellier, which gives a nice mix of young and old team.

Had a glass of wine in the Peckham Refreshment Room last week. Nice but very busy and cramped.

Can't book begging bowl.

This is the new kid on the block Quidsy:

Make sure to wear your skinniest jeans and something ironic. You'll love it.

If you don't fancy Begging Bowl, Ganapati is just around the corner or, if a short walk is ok, then the South London Gallery does lovely food and I think is open late on Fridays.

Don't forget to build in a couple hours mid-sesh to sit on the pavement outside All Saints drinking Red Stripe from a can.

Lol, have fun.

I am hoping to continue to grow old disgracefully, but despite the spirit being willing, the flesh seems less able of late, so get a few down yer neck for me!

Shame Frank's isn't open for another few weeks - forecast is good for Sat night as well too (a prerequisite for Franks)

I'd be inclined to go begging bowl. Peckham Refreshment sounds like a definite but given size and popularity I'm waiting a few weeks

(that said as you can't book Begging Bowl, you might not want to wait if there is a queue, killing any buzz)

[Ted Max]

And if the kids are away, save doing *that* till the morning. Too much bloody effort when you get home and you both just want a couple of pages of John Le Carre and yer zeds. #Quidsbignightout

Get some little ones in and get down the Adventure Bar!

[MrBen]

That sounds kind of wrong there ratty!

So we're all ears. Was it a quiet one at Surma followed by a six pack from Bossman on the way back? Or did you tear up Bellenden Village?

[Foxhelp]

Or regardless of destination did you sit there and look at each other with nothing to say?

[Annette Curtain]

I think ????'s is still out

Making a proppa w/end of it.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Is ????'s still bouncing around Canavans Pool Hall?

Years ago Salsa, when it was still there!

Went to:

Our garden for a Vodka and Redbull starter

Victoria to wait for Begging Bowl - for 10 mins

Begging Bowl - very impressed with food, less so with staffing levels for a place that packed, 35 mins before we even got our drinks.

The Monty, nice let your food go down and last chance for proper beer, multiple beards, i felt naked without one.

A bar, under the arches behind Bar Story (which was closed by then), starting to get hazy now but I was easily old enough to be everyone's father

The Busy Building - via a massive queue. I quite enjoyed the queue as it made me relieved i don't have to do that anymore and my bladder just made it. Really like the BB, decor wise industrial urban warehousey vibe (I like), music downstairs OK a bit above school disco standard, upstairs loved it, Rare Groove, busted some moves but no trouser seems or blood vessels.

Home before 2.
