tallulah71 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Oh! So sorry davidh. I'm not a snooty tosser, actually. And my IQ is average.

tallulah71 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I don't drink beer but I reckon nye on a fiver for a pint is a bit much...I went and had cocktail at House of Tippler the other day and it wasn't much more than that, and full of flavour. And alcohol ;) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37874-the-patch/page/3/#findComment-692729 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fernado Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 As oldsocks also discovered, the Doombar pricing is enthusiastic to say the least. ?4.20 for a pint of widely available bitter is just ridiculous.

Why buy the paper? The Guardian's continuing losses in the tens of millions a year are only sustained by the cash cow of the GMG's "Auto Trader" sell-off. Liberal eco-awareness being subsidised by the petroleum economy. Nice irony there.

titch juicy Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Well, if they're serving their butter in an earthenware put, I'm DEFINITELY going.

MrBen Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Mind crushingly dull debates on the merits of The Guardians funding model, stance and reason for being can be had on other threads. I'm wanting live chickens, warm bread and a pea garden. Roof grown rosemary and crane lifted cow. And at least one pint of Bishops sock under ?4 to keep the old guard happy.

Sue Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I understand they are tied to one brewery. Therefore they can't sell other ales , only what that brewer has, and they have to pay that brewer's prices.I think that's right but Istand to be corrected.Don't know if that applies to bottled ales as well.The Mag always had Doombar, or sometimes Landlord, and sold it at a similar price.It was always going to be an issue for The Patch, as discussed on here ad nauseam months ago, at the time they were trying to raise community funding.I agree it's a great pity for a self styled community pub not to sell local ales, if that is actually the case.The Ivy House does.Sorry for odd formatting am on my phone.maxxi Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> PandG Wrote:> --------------------------------------------------> -----> > The beer is ?4.00 from the makers in Cornwall +> > transport + the Patch costs = seems to be fair> > price ?> > I suppose it is a fair price for an imported> Cornish beer - but I was expecting (hoping for)> more local beers (like the Crystal Palace Bitter> the Draft House had a couple of weeks back for> ?2.75 a pint).

StraferJack Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Very disappointing beer selection... After the selections at flying pig and ivy house, it's very much a step backIf sue is correct and they are brewery tied there isn't much they can do about it. They are probably as annoyed as the customersThat said, I did pay 3 pound something for a pint of lager which is cheaper than most places around here Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37874-the-patch/page/3/#findComment-692793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The more I hear of The Patch, the less interested I am in going. It seems to have taken the less appealing, up-its-own-bum with pretention aspects of ED and gone a step further. Which seems sad for a new place.Hope I'm wrong - but the prices, the menu, the abysmal student style graffiti-art Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37874-the-patch/page/3/#findComment-692794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernado Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I've only ever once paid over four quid for a pint of ale - and that was last night. First and last time.

*Bob* Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The Actress managed a very well attended and entertaining 'opening night' (organised / ticketed via the EDF) which got them lots of goodwill credit in the bank - and got the place off to a good start.I get the impression it isn't finished yet?

maxxi Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 If The Patch is still a tied house then my expectations of local beers etc are unrealistic - I think I was confused by their declaration of being"Fully independent and self-sufficient," and that they were "owned, supplied and managed by the local community".

womanofdulwich Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Absolutely agree.Give them a chance and commend them for starting up.Jobs being created, a building being refurbished and a new place to eat/drink.All commendable.
