Clockhouse today

[Frankie G]

Been there a few times but today was catastrophic! We went there for a lunch time natter (4 women) the days special still had 'Tuesday' written on the board! Poor start, and the menu was short of.....duck,chicken Kiev,goats cheese tarts, scotch eggs and something else I can't remember. If it were sold out I could understand but the reason given was...it was being prepped freshly? The time was 1.10 pm. Surely prep is done in the mornings ready for lunchtime trade? When I questioned this the bar man said " well you do want fresh food don't you, that's why we prepare it all fresh each day" duh!!! They could have prepped anyway as we then waited 45 mins for 2 burgers, chicken salad and a risotto. There was 2 other people in the whole place. Very poor today and doubt if I'll go again in a hurry.

Hate to be doom and gloom but it's not the cheapest eatery in east dulwich either!

So they had a risotto but no scotch egg, because of "prep time" at 1.15pm?

Sounds more like the youngs central supply of prepped meals hadn't turned up

I agree, we used to be in there a lot but it just keeps getting worse and worse. We've given up, not like there aren't loads of other options round here! Shame as it's in a really convenient location which is why I presume it keeps going.

People once traveled from far and wide to eat/drink in there. How the mighty fall.

I had chips here and was told there was NO VINEGAR!!! Has the world gone MAD??!!!

Umm they told me they had 'just run out' of vinegar about a month ago. Seriously sounds like they have lost the plot if they can't get their act together to buy a bottle of vinegar!

It's not that long ago is it that a lady was posting on the forum about how great things were going to be after the refurb? I thought she was in charge of the food.

If I recall correctly, she said that it was going to have "Scandinavian influences", or words to that effect.

Like not hugely populated?
