Hey, come to our brilliant free folk night at Hoopers tomorrow (may be today if you read this on Friday - it's on Friday 27th) - 8pm Bulgakov, 9pm Folk2Future, 10pm Dan Maitland.


It will be fun!! And Hoopers has a great range of real ales, too :)-D


Ignore Time Out whose very efficient (not) listing people somehow listed this as at the Old Nun's Head :))

I dunno about poptarts but I say about time for decent grub! I've only ever been in there a few times over the years (and that includes The Ivanhoe years - shame the name was changed ... tradition down the pan .. but then the owner isn't a Londoner I hear) but I know it always had a foremost reputation as a boozer. Food clears that up. Even as a boozer it did better when even limited food was happening. Plus its a great option for folks who don't want alcohol! There's always the Hermits Cave in Camberwell for an old stylee boozer. Still, I've heard that Jamie is a funny old guy. He gets nice beer in but I heard he had a weird, sort of abusive bartender in there for ages before that changed. I know people who tried to get stuff going in there musicwise and foodwise but its like he wasn't into it unless he originated the idea, or found the talent (or founded the kitchen) himself. Which is a shame because that blows out a nice traditional element too. Still, all hail to some kind of food and I hope it doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Hi,


Hoopers are pleased to advise that our Kitchen will open this Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon to 9.45pm. There will also be a Sunday Roast.


The Kitchen will reopen next Wednesday, under French chef Stephane Tierou, with a special offer of a free dessert with each mains ordered, from then until Thursday 24th July inclusive.


We are sure that you will agree that Hoopers Kitchen will be a welcome addition to the local catering possibilities, and we look forward to seeing you soon!


Real Ales available this weekend are Brains SA, Bradfield Brown Cow, and Harveys Best.


Regards


Jamie, Vivien & Matt

Have sampled the food on offer, its really great and really good prices will be going back for sure! Definitely recommend a visit, the menu is pretty varied, organic steaks to veggie to great salads with all the produce locally sourced, there's something for everyone...oh and don't forget the cracking beer and wine selection....yum!

did you go yesterday Mike? I was already commited elsewhere but wanted to big up Hoopers a bit more having wandered in on Saturday as part of the pub crawl


We timed things wrong and arrived there 20 mins before their Saturday opening time but they still opened up early for us

Several people in the group hadn't been before and all really liked the place

The food menu looked great - good British basics, which, by sticking to a small menu suggests they are cooked well


good work Jamie and Viv

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
