If anyone see that a bar / pub restaurant has something going on on NYE then please tell them to post it on this site. The best place is here http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/list.php?6 in the 'what's on in East Dulwich section's. That section's a bit scare on postings at the moment so we might close it, but we don't want to because a fair few people look at it so any help is greatly appreciated


thanks

I've been to the NYE at the EDT in the past and it was pisspoor. Offered DJs on two floors but only produced one who was way too hardcore for my liking. Food was pitiful and scarce and service at the bar was slow. It was probably worst new year I've known. Until we got back to my place where the party started of course!

The 'happening' being knots of knackered and hurling revellers strewn the length of Donkey Alley and telling the fit/sober at the top, who are yelling about missing the fireworks, to get stuffed.


I'm in.

If you're local to Dawson's Heights, it's good fun; lots of sparklers, families with kids, fantastic views including fireworks, no entry fee or 'piss poor food / service' and then home all in time for 'Hootenanny' with no bus ride! All for the cost of a bottle of Cava....

tbh absolutely every NYE has been a massive anticlimax since the old days of The Fox in Willian.

I've been at home with good friends for 7 years on the trot now. better booze, no queuing four deep at the bar, sciatica, I'm losing my memory, my memory isn't as good as it used to be...slippers.....death.......

We went to the 70's fancy dress night at the house of Tippler last NYE and it was great fun, didn't leave til the sun was coming up, they had a good band on. I understand something similar is planned this NYE but not sure if there's a theme. We pretty much went though the entire cocktail menu. I'm going with my girlfriend and a couple of friends again this year.

No wonder NYE was rubbish if you were going to the Fox in Willian. You should have gone to the three horseshoes. Mind you, if you were under 50 you might not have got in.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
