Rye Hotel Very Poor Boozer


Recommended Posts

I had a meal in there the other week that was quite hot with chillies. I being the being the brave little soldier that I am ate it despite not being a big fan of chillies. I wondered how I managed not to notice the chilli ingredient on the menu. As I was leaving I grabbed a menu looked at that particular dish and chilli was not mentioned. Quite an important ingredient to miss off I think. They didn't seem very apologetic when I pointed it out either.
I have a few beers in The Rye a couple of times a week. In my view, one of the best pubs (out of a lot of very good pubs) in the area. Marks and Spencer of pubs? That was doubtless meant to be a put-down, but just as I'd rather shop in a Marks rather than in some poorly-stocked "Best-In/Bobby's" corner shop, so I'd rather drink in a Marks and Spencer of pubs rather than a corner-shop equivalent.
if you are looking for a good garden for the children and reasonable food, I think that excellent pub food is a thing of the past really!! It seems all about making a profit, which after all they are a business!!! The Herne Tavern on the corner of Forest Hill Road is very good they have an excellent climbing frame with a slide, all the kids love it there !!! Give it a try..... Apparently the White Horse at the top of Peckham Rye is meant to have an excellent Sunday lunch... I personally havent eaten in there, but many people I know have and they all rave about the amount, quality and price !!!

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
