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.

      Gas Safe Engineer Rob Mills

      By sianparker79 · Posted

      I'm going to add a fourth recommend for Rob Mills. A while back he did my boiler check and was so much more thorough than the previous boiler engineers I'd used, also taking the time to explain everything he was doing and why, which was extremely reassuring. Then this last weekend, when it was freezing cold,  my boiler stopped working early on Saturday morning and was throwing out error messages that I couldn't resolve. He walked me through various steps to try via text message and resolved the issue for me with no charge. I was incredibly grateful and honestly, highly recommend him.

      Recommendation of Vitamin for 3year old

      By BurleyJ · Posted

      My daughter is trying to find a multi vitamin for my granddaughter who is a very fussy eater. Basically she's living on yoghurt, breadsticks & banana's at the moment. Can anyone recommend a vitamin? Preferably one that's nice tasting if its liquid form. Thank you

      The Mansion Tax

      By DuncanW · Posted

      I would challenge that. Price is a function of supply and demand - that's what I learnt at school anyway. It doesn't matter what your costs are, if supply increases and demand remains constant, prices (rents) will fall. And vice versa

      The Mansion Tax

      By beansprout · Posted

      Strange isn’t it…..other European countries s actually come up with solutions to house homeless people, which are pod structure, use of office blocks, etc. homeless are provided with thermals, warm sleeping bag and tent or pop up tent plus tech friendly clothing which means they are warm in extreme conditions. Us in UK? Nothing but chuckinto house of multiple occupation, which is usually not warm and not all have mould, but some do.. live in one room even if you are a family with good only knows what other sort of people…  not referring to ethinicity here but more along the lines of mental health problems, drugs, alcoholics. Single and families all in one property. Or if you are one of the lucky ones, into a hotel you go…   Why don’t we as a nation claw back more money in the form of tax  or avoidance avoidance, off shore accounts or other ways that rich or investors do buck the system….
