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 !

    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
