Good beer there. Got rid of some of the riff raff from the days of the mag. That bald headed Phil Mitchell type and his mates seem to have gone elsewhere. Seems like a pleasant place to enter now.

Like the fact that they're open till 1am. that's the only way to lure people away from Goose Green end.

I agree BrandNewGuy but I guess as its a relatively normal pub I expected relatively normal prices or to be warned in advance if I'm buying premium beer. There was nothing to suggest I was buying something over ?5.


I'll know to check the beer price list next time to aid my choice. But I'll remember it as the place where I first paid over ?5 for a pint.


Maybe your wine comparison would make more sense if I was presented with a "Beer List" to peruse and choose from. I guess they feel the board in the corner does the job but I certainly didn't notice it until afterwards.


The beer was nice and it was 6+% but still a bit of a surprise. I actually thought I was buying a standard IPA and that it would be cheap.



As it was my first drink of November and being 6+% - I fell over three times and started a fight on the way home, shat in the EDT toilets and was sick in a kebab. So I guess I got my moneys worth.

Don't get me wrong, I know of a couple of long standing Dulwich pub users that can really put you off your pint, being overly loud and a bit on the intimidating side, and if it was them, you have my sympathy. I think it was just the use of the term "riff raff" that came over a bit wrong.

Sue- This piece from Big Hospitality explains what The Patch means by "self-sustainable" and does makes some sense. Basically as much as possible will be sourced from within a 15-25 mile radius from people to ingredients and will be supplemented by veg from their own kitchen garden once established.....

It also is quite open about the Enterprise tie.....

Finally got myself into the Flying Pig today (where is that thread BTW?). Great selection of beer. Didn't eat there but then I don't go to bars to eat. I go to DRINK! Mac, by the way are you really that foolish. (Don't answer that)


Oh yeah, sorry The Patch. I shall be paying it a visit very very soon.

I'm all for quality beer as much as the next man and i don't really care what it costs tbh. Just good to create a bit of a stir now and again. I'm moving into Altima court shortly so FP will be my local and I'm looking forward to spending my hard earned in there. It's a nice bar, nice staff too.


edited to say I had not seen ottas flaming thread before posting this.

Thanks Mr Ben, I guess their interpretation of certain words is just different from mine.


As you say, some of it is explained in the article.


ETA: Though not really the "100%", which doesn't really lend itself to other interpretations .....

According to a comment The Patch posted on Facebook on Saturday (in response to somebody trying and failing to book a table) the restaurant is opening this Wednesday.


Another comment by somebody else says the manager told her it had a "kitchen gas issue".


ETA: But they don't seem to have tweeted anything since the end of October.

    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.    
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
    • I’m beginning to think YOU are an AI agent at this point  would be less troubling than you actually believing all this stuff
