No of course it's not the best place, but if somebody calls a bar owner a "knob" on here because the bar owner objected to a musician passing the hat round when they had already agreed a fee with the bar owner, then - well, Jamie isn't here to defend himself, is he?


As a music promoter myself, it seems all wrong to try to be paid twice, once by the pub and once by the audience.


If an agreement isn't clear, then it should have been put in writing at the outset. And travelling expenses should have been taken into account when the fee was agreed.


I don't blame Jamie for deducting the hat money, sorry Kingy. We had quite a few gigs at Hooper's, and it just wouldn't have occurred to me to pass a hat round, as Jamie was paying us/the musicians.


Happy to discuss it over a pint or two .......

GTF - the hat part was part of the deal - lying cheating dick - full stop - and that's a full stop and I agree that this is no place for it but you asked for it - quel surprise


put in fricking writing and get lawyer involved - a deal is a deal is a deal and the guy was a to55pot , it's easy for an 'organiser' to say but when you just want to play you just want to play but you need to get paid what you have agreed

I only wish I could say the same! Needless to say by that stage, no-one cares about the layout or ambience of the place just the late opening hours :))

I was there on Tuesday evening, I rarely go there (used to regularly when it was the Black Cherry) it was nice, there were about 12 customers, the food one couple were eating looked nice. The staff behind the bar were pleasant enough just a bit of atmosphere lacking.

I happen to love the Korean Fried Chicken at the Draft House. Also had an excellent burger in there on several occasions.


Lots of picky moans on here but hard to say that its not at least a decent pub and at best a good-ish one versus other offerings in the past decade.

Oh, we're talking about the Draft House again, are we?


At the end of the day the beer selection is good and the food offering is decent (maybe a little inconsistent, but easily the best burger I've eaten in ED was at the DH). The interior isn't the best but I really think it deserves to survive at the very least...

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
