grancabrona Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Very poor pub this - the young barmaid seemed flummoxed, even a bit pesht off when I asked her what ales they had on tap!Snotty and up its own backside. Like some kind of Claphamite enclave. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34439-rye-hotel-very-poor-boozer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millhaven Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 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.

londoner_77 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Completely agree. I used to love this pub before the massive refurb - it had so much character and a really lovely atmosphere. Now it resembles some sort of chain pub & has been completely ruined. Such a shame. I now take my business elsewhere.

edcam Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Still the best pub garden in the area but yes, a pretty rubbish pub. Before the refurb it had atmosphere but now it's like the Marks & Spencer of pubs.. Shame.

antantant Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 That beautiful beer garden makes up for all its faults IMO. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/34439-rye-hotel-very-poor-boozer/#findComment-663372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnL Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 All the pubs I've been in this week are struggling in the heat.Even those with Air Conditioning aren't really coping - the AC leaves a taste in the air as it works to hard.Only drink in the Rye - but I'm Okay with it - the Saturday band seems to have gone though.

AC1964 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 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.

chellbirdse15 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 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 !!!

DulwichFox Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Was a great pub before Capital Inns destroyed it... Had some great Darts nights there when we went there as part of The Uplands dart team. 1993.
