Hi


Great to have you in East Dulwich.. I am local myself (upland road)

I run a meat/fish business- buy fresh produce daily from Smithfield and Billingsgate

plus a few specialist farmers (fosse meadow farm for chicken etc)


I am sure you have your regular suppliers but I would be delighted to be given the

opportunity to supply you some produce.


Basically I would buy from market and mark up 20%. I would easily be more competitive than

other suppliers as my overheads or so small. I have very good reviews on the forum and understand food !


As I go to market daily I am very flexible and can take last minute orders etc. Iam exceptionally busy

over Christmas/new year but would be delighted to buy anything for you.


Thankyou

I often drink Guinness, but usually where there isn't a decent selection of draught ale, and I'd say probably yes.


ETA: Shouldn't this thread be in the restaurant/trade section?

The Mag (in its Magnolia incarnation) always felt a bit "cold" too.


Can't remember much about the Magdala apart from the yellow!


It's a pity if they haven't improved the vibe, after all the time it took to finally open The Patch.


Not been down there and don't intend to, even though it's one of my nearest pubs. I can't understand how it can be touted as a "community" pub with brunch at ?16, even if it comes with bread with flakes of gold on or whatever.


Very mixed messages have been given out, in my opinion. If you're going to run a gastro pub competing with the likes of Franklins and the Palmerston, then just say so from the outset. All the other stuff - vertical horticulture on the roof, schoolkids growing your veg etc - is all very laudable but somehow doesn't fit.


Not in my world view, anyway, which I fully admit may be bitter and twisted due to currently living on a pension in an increasingly affluent neighbourhood :))

I agree with you guys. And also, I miss being able to get a nice strong Kentish/Sussex real ale in any pubs around here. It all seems to be about fancy continental lagers these days or am I missing the point? Landlords/pub companies, stop trying to appease Clapham blow-ins and feed me my brown ale!


Louisa.

I'm going next week for a birthday meal and drinks, will report back, but hope it's nice!


I loved the original Mag, in it's pre-posh state. It was our closest pub when we first moved to the area and I spent many a happily drunken night there. The Magnolia was lacking atmosphere, I never quite worked out what was wrong with it, but it just don't seem to work. Too far away from the "main" bars/restaurants?

"It all seems to be about fancy continental lagers these days"

Really? I think you may be thinking of the nineties. Although Peroni on draught does seem de rigeur these days.

Lager sales plummeting, ale sales rocketing generally.


The Dog had Harvey's on tap over christmas. And is it me or has the service improved, admittedly from a very very very low starting point.

Louisa - below say 40s, you'll see far more brown beer drunk among posher types than you will among working class lads/ladies.


The revival of bitter and ale in pubs and me starting drinking them again - largely led by the gentrified pubs - has just reinforced how sh1te draught lagers are to me.

Try The Ivy House, Louisa! :))


Scroll down the menu past the fancy lagers:

If you don't like any of their choices, they are asking people to tell them what they want ....

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
