Or the Great Exhibition.....

We do buy one get one free Pies every Monday!


We'd also like to welcome the Patch to the Patch. Looking forward to coming to say hi and eating with you.

We have a great network of pubs here, most of the bar managers know each other and are always about to lend a hand if you need anything or are caught short.


Looking forward to meeting you all

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 ....

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
