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.

      Lexus Stolen On Melbourne Grove

      By Jojo_B · Posted

      Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo

      Milk delivery

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.

      Milk delivery

      Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By Azalea · Posted

      This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
