Ask the price in future.  I used to drink in the Crystal Palace Tavern. What happened to that local boozer?

I've twice refused to pay, once for a half which was so expensive I thought they were charging me for a pint, on Vauxhall embankment.  More recently I refused to pay in the Dulwich Woodhouse, but I should have known it would be overpriced.  Both pubs had the right to insist I paid 

Suggest you drink in the Blythe, Castle or Capitol in future

The CPT used to be our local. I still miss it.

The Castle is in some ways similar though! The other two you suggest are a bus ride away (depending on where you live, obviously!)

That applies to most lager.

Earl pubs in London have always been expensive.  Or you can compromise your principles and go to wetherspoons.  Or go to the Blythe the best pub in the world.

The creation of pub chains, closing of breweries and national and regional brewers to global multi-nationals hasn't helped.

But go into LL at a weekend and there are plenty of people prepared to pay top dollar for overhopped overcooled over fizzy and over priced IPA.  Don't get me started on the contamination of our traditional apple fermented drink (cider) with other fruits to make it an alcopop.

does anyone know the reason for the nosedive in standards across the board at the EDT recently.

incompetent badly trained new bar staff, who have overcharged, double charged or short changed on numerous occasions.

some who do not seem to know how to pull a pint properly.

cleanliness has taken a dip too

I don't know about that, but they used to do a really tasty and reasonably priced veggie sausage and mash with gravy.

The last time we had it, the sausages were small and dry and practically inedible, and the menu had completely changed.

Apparently there is a new chef. Who uses a different supplier for the sausages.

Don't think we will be eating there again.

Time we had a Wetherspoons in Dulwich ! 

Anyone  suggest a suitable site ?

perhaps near the Poundshop ?

It was suggested at one time that what became The Cherry Tree would be a good place for a Wetherspoons.

I can't now remember whether Wetherspoons actually put in a bid for it, but anyway if they did it obviously didn't happen.

Shame! I like Wetherspoonses 😀

Good range of ale at a cheap price 😀 

Though they are usually in interesting old buildings, and the previous incarnation of The Cherry Tree, whose name I can't remember, certainly wasn't that 🤣

      Recently moved into area, suffering with plane noise, need advice

      Well at least you didn’t live here when we used to have Concorde 😂 can’t lie though, I actually find it comforting, haven’t known anything different and only realised it was a thing when a visitor pointed it out last year. It’s when the helicopters come around that it gets annoying and that used to be fairly regular too. Before the area… changed…

      GALA Festival 2024 Stakeholder Debrief

      By Ben Wile · Posted

      As long as there are other ways to offer feedback, but also to speak to the council about this matter, then 1-1 feedback to GALA is not a problem, but an additional option.

      GALA Festival 2024 Stakeholder Debrief

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It's four bus stops away so hardly a deterrent unless one has mobility issues. Gala nor any other events organisers are under obligation to do what they've agreed to do. I'm sure if those who are serious and want to be heard will make the effort to attend the meeting. Whether their concerns have an impact or are taken seriously. Unless you can prove Gala have purposely chosen Peckham Levels as a means to deter people from attending i don't think it helps matters by implying that there's some sort of agenda or conspiracy going on. From following this thread it appears that's it's you with the agenda. Your display of arrogance in the post above ( Let's not pretend ) suggests that we're all in agreement with you.

      I’m Greek, and I get my information directly from Greek media. I couldn't access the Economist article, but it doesn't seem very different from what I mentioned, apart from their ideological angle—and thanks for adding the actual text. If the government involves other private educational institutions, the situation will become more complicated indeed. However, I don't think it can be compared to the Greek situation for the reasons I mentioned and those in the Economist article, which I find prejudiced and patronizing, if not racist. (But a gap between ideology and real life is something with which many Greeks seem to live quite contented) Regarding the Economist's information, I'm not sure how many private schools closed, as the Economist claims, since the law only lasted for two months. I definitely know of one school in Piraeus called Michalopouleio, but given the law's brief duration, it can't be the sole reason.  Tsipras sending his sons to a private school does create an ethical problem. However, asking him to send his sons to a public school, when public education has been chronically neglected by right-wing governments, is similar to asking leftists to give away all their money.  Additionally, the right-wing government has introduced legislation that allows private colleges and universities this year, so there's no “problem” there anymore.
