I really like this pub but it's a bit hit and miss at the weekends whether it will be open or not as they are regularly closed for weddings and they don't seem to warn in advance on their website.

So I often end up somewhere else on Saturdays just to avoid the disappointment of not being allowed in!!

Not a great place. Always seems to have private events thus barring the general public from the establishment when convenient for the owners. I agree with the previous post that the walled garden is nice. Spacious, well planted and a sun trap with a charcoal barbecue. Just don't light a cigarette! while you enjoy your £6.00 pint. If you dare you will be politely asked to go and stand 5 metres from where you are sitting to go and stand on the pavement. Bizarre. It's not a pub. It's a function room.

I think it's great they don't allow smoking in the garden.

My enjoyment of sitting  outside in pubs etc is greatly marred by smoke blowing in my face and into my lungs.

I'm an ex smoker (gave up decades ago). We are the worst moaners, apparently 🤣

But seriously, it's a big health issue. I think smoking should be banned in all public places, not just inside.

    • 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.
