EDITED 21 October to say - IT WON AN AWARD!

The Ivy House was on Newsnight yesterday (13/08/13) as part of a feature on the decline of the British pub and what's being done to slow it. You can see it here:

If you're quick about it you can also see the pub on The One Show, available on iPlayer till 8PM on 14/08/13. It was included in a story about localism (around 50 minutes into the programme).

Not really, shareholders were invited to 2 preview nights before the bank holiday opening. The actual launch was soft, eg no fanfare or grand opening. I assume this is to allow them to get establised. I understand there are already some events booked for later this month.
we went last friday night for a swift pint before going on elsewhere for dinner. it was certainly busier than i'd ever seen it outside a "pull the other one" night. it's such a big space that it's difficult to say how full it was, but there were definitely people waiting for tables and a really nice buzz about the place with a good mix of people. the food looked nice enough too. not jaw-droppingly amazing but then they aren't claiming to be doing anything other than pub grub so i'd say they seem to have it bang on.

If all East Dulwich pubs were about to be turned into flats, but you could save just three of them as pubs for heritage reasons, which three would you choose (I'm ignoring what I think of them as current drinking establishments)?


I would choose:

The EDT - flagship pub as you enter the area;

The Plough - ditto, and it used to be a bus route destination; and

Great Exhibition, despite its change of name.

Well, exactly. Nice, chunky, honest to goodness pub grub. Not a jus or truffle in sight.....

We went last night. Really friendly staff, excellent choice of beers and good burger with nice crispy chips; they also do great pieminister pies. Such a great pub! It was nicely busy but easy to get a table. They seem to be having live music on sunday afternoons.

    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.
