Grand Opening of THE FLYING PIG, Goose Green,


Recommended Posts

We went on Sunday for lunch. Took 40-50 mins for our burgers to arrive, with one of them arriving about 10 mins after the other two. It wasn't really that busy, and the lady who sad down and ordered about 15 mins after us got her burger first. Being polite Brits we didn't start to eat until the final burger arrived, so two out of 3 burgers were cold. Having read forum reviews we noted chip portions - still a bit on the small side, I had 8. they were nice chips though.


don't think we'll go back - atmosphere wasn't that great, it was cold by the door and the food wasn't amazing.

Visited the other evening. Summary: Chip portion size still too small. Bbq ribs just a little better than a fried chicken shops ribs. Brisket very small. Service polite but a tad slow. Food prices much too high for quality/portions size. Hope the chef covers his beard when in kitchen. I won't be visiting venue on a regular basis.
The Flying Pig describes itself as "Craft Beer Pub & BBQ", so I wouldn't judge it solely on their food. In fact, I wouldn't judge it on their food at all - had a fine Sunday afternoon in there trying a few different beers, all of which were well-kept and tasty. Friendly and laid-back atmosphere. I like it.

The burger I had on Sunday was enormous. I could scarcely eat it all, and I was very hungry :)


It was also by far the best burger I have had round here.

Agreed, I see it as a very good craft beer pub with some decent food on the side rather than the other way around. Maybe get the local Clarkshaws in?...

Went in last Thursday and they were having a bit of a nightmare. It was very busy (a good sign) but they were horribly understaffed. Then, when the bar was at it's busiest their tills all crashed and were down for about 15 minutes, meaning they weren't able to serve or give change to those waiting for it.


I ate there for the first time and was a bit disappointed. I had babyback ribs- the sauce tasted burnt. I appreciate it's bbq food, but this wasn't good burnt, and the chips were dreadful. Dry to the point of crumbling in my hand. I would have taken them back but the staff were under too much pressure already. The other half's pulled pork was good though- perhaps the best i've had.


On that note- has anyone seen any pork recently that hasn't been 'pulled'?

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
