Saturday just past. No dramas, just wasnt very relaxing and im no shrinking wall flower with bad language etc, but this was getting over the top. Spoke to manager he was helpful in the situation but not much he could do really. If they dug their heels in I wouldnt like to have got involved!


ETA: Palmerston is great, one of my faves for a pint or dinner. Very unusal on Saturday night and absolutely not the norm. In fact first time in 9 or so years so dont be put of going readers if you haveent been. Just unlucky that night and one of these things.

I think the Palmerston would be better if they re-thought the pub/restaurant separation. Maybe just a very small bar at the front. Nobody wants to pay ?40 a head for dinner while sitting next to a bunch of lairy beered up blokes.


Do mean this place, DC? http://www.mintmagazine.co.uk/general/beer-and-loathing-jfks-aka-canavans-pool-club-peckham/


Looks interesting!

Ahh, missed meeting you again then HMB!

Was with Mr Buggie in Palmerston for my birthday meal and the lairy group were there the whole time... Is weird how worrying it is when blokes start slapping each others arms & kissing each other they can still look like a fights about to kick off!


Very unrelaxing but nothing the staff could do (think it would've caused it all to kick off).

Agree buggie, we had table booked at 8, left shortly after. There was no way the manager was going to dampen those boys spirits and we were sat right beside them. Manager was dead on about us leaving and gave me my pint on the house. One couple were moved to the back just before we left. Franklins slotted us in and had a good night there.


Hope you managed to enjoy your birthday as best you could Buggie.


As I say, just one of those things and unusual.


Back on topic:

The steaks and other meat I have had in Palmerston are good, maybe they get them from The Butcher by The Plough...

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 1 year later...

F&H is great, we feel lucky to have it as our local butcher. As PGC says, nothing seems to be too much trouble for these guys.


The Butchery is good too (got some great steaks from the Bermondsey Spa Terminus branch on Saturday), but the name still bothers me! Butchery is the name of the activity/practice/occupation, not the establishment. It's like calling a school "The Teaching".

Still use Plough man with no name when we can. Very good meat. It's the lamb and pork comes from his Dad's farm I think not the beef - but it's all very good.


We have asked him to spatchcock a chicken for us a couple of times recently, really easy to cook and carve and he's more than happy to do that.


Heard him chatting on Saturday to a customer about a full pig for roasting and can also price up a full lamb !

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
