Well yesterday later afternoon they only had ONE type of beer on sale (lager doesn't count as beer, obviously) and were out of dry roasted nuts. Also, there was only one person in the pub and he was telling us to have salted instead which suggestion we rejected.


So if it is closing I would not be surprised. Sad though.

I've no idea whether the rumour's true or not but it'd be a shame if it does close, though it sounds as if things aren't going brilliantly if the beer supplies are running out.


I've always found The Rose to be a great alternative when The Herne is a bit manic, as it often can be on a summer afternoon. It's a lovely building and the owners have been nothing but welcoming whenever I've been there.


That said, it's not in the ideal location and I've never seen it even half full in all the times I've been so it wouldn't be a huge surprise if it isn't making enough money to keep going. Tough times for some of our local boozers - I wish I could support them all but there are limits to my beer fund.

That's right. The Dolphin fish shop is to become a kebab shop.

I hope the rumours aren't true about The Rose. It's always sad when another pub closes and I don't agree about it's poor location. It's on a main road, not a back street. The staff are great and the back garden is a particularly nice spot to sit in during the summer months and it has a great inside space too. Just not enough punters.

I'm certainly not criticising that spot - just saying it's less ideal than the locations of The Herne, The Clockhouse and The Rye, which benefit from being right on the edges of the park so tend to get more people passing by on foot. That's made The Rose more appealing to me at times as I've been sure I'd get a table when the other pubs have been a lot busier.

Gutted to hear these rumours about The Rose. They have a good open mic, hich unfortunately I've only ever made it down to once (bloody kids!), and they were the only place to show the last Froch / Kessler fight live. I like it, but beer could do with dropping 20p a pint, and it's a bitch for me to get to from Sydenham.


Would chose there over the Hearne or the clockhouse every single time!

IMO the Dolphin's demise was due to increasing costs, not adapting or modernising resulting in dwindling custom and so not competing with Sea Master. It was only a matter of time before the Dolphin ran its course. Any replacement / kebab shop will need to offer good quality produce to gain a following.

Maxxi - like your fish image


So, see what the competition are doing and offer something unique, perhaps grilled fish, or different fish, or scallops, or prawns etc. In terms of modernise, the Dolphin looked tired, drab and old, it needed to be brought into the 21st centuary. If Sea Master can do it so could have the Dolphin, or they just decided they'd had enough and sold the lease on??

122 or 202 or 450 to Crystal Palace.


Then 363 (stops outside the pub!)

@Maxxi - love the fish image :)

@reeko - I think you caught him on a bad day!! although admittedly, he wasnt the smiley type of guy!


I think there was room for both, old school chip shop and new modern chip shop! I think it was nice to have the choice both within walking distance.


I really hope that if a kebab shop does open, its of the FM Mangal, in Camberwell, style and quality.

Intresting comments about Rose. I actually prefer The Herne any way. It may be busy as someone suggested but thats what gives it atmosphere, who wants to go to an empty pub, might as well sit at home on my own!! Herne also has Sky now!!!! I find the staff more friendly and helpful and the management not so quick to bar punters!!!

Yeah, I heard quite a few of the old school punters from The Rose got barred and have since decamped to The Herne. I'm not a regular at either pub though. Actually, I need to have a butchers at The Herne as I haven't been in since the management changed. I expect it's still like a fecking cr?che at the weekends though.

Hello Everyone,


How do rumours start???


-Firstly the reason for the one real beer for the last week is because it has been a very quiet period - I promise that the next couple of weeks leading back into the usual trade after the summer we will have 3 back on.

-We currently are only offering Sunday Roast but we are also reopening our kitchen in September; 7 days a week.

-Also we are about to launch our Christmas party packages.

-Finally none of the "old school punters from The Rose got barred" they chose to leave off their own accord - we welcome the whole community.

Thanks for the clarification Nadia

I used to body swerve the pub when is was the Forest Hill Tavern. I remember a group of us asking for a bottle of red wine once ....a hush descended around the pub! It was dirty, dark and noisy and hardly a fellow girlie to be spotted

I agree with you that a pub should attract the community - I like what you have done to the place with the fresh decor and the new drinks list on offer. I don't miss the gang of men who used to crowd around the bar using dreadfully bad and offensive language - me and my girlfriends found it very off putting

I haven't seen the cute little dog with the waggy tail for a while though - is he/she still with you?

Hoping to see you again this Thursday for Open Mic

Good Luck!

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.

      And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.

      You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.

      I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
