Now that I am on a proper keyboard - what is with goer's post(s). Several of the bars on the Lane accept cards but sometimes have problems and can accept cash only. What has happened to make him/her so upset hear. I get there is some confusion and a problem with a CAPS LOCK Key but it would take more than that for me to go on a rampage about a pub...


It probably is the furthest pub in the area from a cashie which makes it inconvenient but still

I think his/her's frustration is with being told cards were acceptable and then being told otherwise at the end. I understand this and would equally be pissed off. Whether it's worth half a dozen rants and two threads to tell it (nicely censored Mr Admin) is another thing altogether.


One expects teething problems with a new establishment - give them a chance to rectify the problem and try again.

This place is growing on me hugely. Popped in there yesterday with my skin n' blister and met up with the Right Honourable EDOldie Esq. I'm so glad they've kept the Timothy Taylor's Landlord. It's a very pleasant space to spend time in and I can see this becoming quite a regular haunt for the Lush.


Went to a birthday soiree upstairs at the EDT afterwards and I really like what they've done with the space up there too so much so that I'm seriously considering filling in my application form for the Members Club, which is quite something as I normally follow the Groucho Marx view about clubs. Ended up in the Black Cherry for a few more snifters and got home quite periwinkled. Rather a good Sunday on the whole.

The Lodge, ok. So not The Den! lol


I've been a member of a members club before and what I find really annoying is that they often just end up allowing anyone in anyway! So I'll have a look, but I'd be weary of paying a high membership fee for this reason, especially since I feel there is a probably a limited marked for this in ED. I suspect the membership bit is an excuse to have the place open till later, which I'm actually in favour of. Does anyone have more information about this place?


Sorry, probably need a new thread on this really.

Went to the Magnolia for lunch yesterday, it was really really lovely. Rose has done a super job. They did have a few hiccups with their card machine and lack of coffee but was not really their fault although they might have been a little more gracious about it. however the food was superb and it has a lovely atmosphere and the loos are really good!

Yeah! Probably, although I think there is an old one somewhere if you look.


Membership for the Lodge is ?80 for a single person or ?120 for two. There is also a corporate membership, the price eludes me for that. It'll be open up to 12 midnight for the first few months and then depending on the demand and the uptake I suppose they'll then push for a later license.


Right back to the Magnolia. I don't normally eat in pubs but the menu does look tempting and I reckon I'll be eating in there soon. A really nice atmosphere and not overcrowded like the rest of Lordship Lane.

      ED Forum Drinks - anyone interested?

      By malumbu · Posted

      At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4]

      Pallets, MDF board, PA system needed

      By GeF · Posted

      Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By malumbu · Posted

      I used to enjoy the 50p shop in Liverpool, it merged with it's sister pound shop in 1999 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsliverpool/lost-liverpool-shop-never-charged-more-than-50p-for-anything/ar-AA1rB1Z6 According to BoE inflation calculator it would be the £1.60 shop if still around now, although based on the increase in a pint of beer more like the £4 shop, or the reliable mars bar inflation indicator about £3. That of course is the issue with the premise that everything will remain at a certain price.  There were three pound stores in Peckham, one had a strange strap line that many products were a pound or less, so many were over a quid (pre Covid days).
