BrandNewGuy Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Just had a fine lunch at Franklins and can confirm that it's soon to be sold and will have a minor refurbishment before reopening, probably as The Victory, which was its original name, I think.

The downstairs is getting refurbished, and the bar area enlarged, presumably by removing that awkward little 'lobby' by the loos. 2 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/374042-franklins-is-being-sold/#findComment-1737004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
geh Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago I had heard this was on the cards a while ago, sad, the end of an era, but well done Rod and Tim for stewarding a beacon of excellence for so many years. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/374042-franklins-is-being-sold/#findComment-1737006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago They've had 26 years or so of trading, and if anyone deserves decent retirement... In my view they're going out at the top. It's clearly being sold, assuming it all goes through as a very more more than just a going concern. 3 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/374042-franklins-is-being-sold/#findComment-1737007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDmummy Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago End of a wonderful era. We’ve been going since it opened and even started contractions with my oldest (25 year old) son during a lovely New Year’s Eve lunch. Thank you Rod and Tim for some amazing memories.
