After the bad service in the Plough the other Sunday we tried the Palmerston last Sunday, again we placed our roast beef orders just after 2pm and our food arrived at 2.20pm. (2 hours quicker than the Plough). The food was far better and the Yorkshire puddings were huge. I would definitely recommend the Palmerston for a Sunday roast.


However I will still drink in the Plough, its a lovely pub with friendly bar staff and a good beer garden.

We ate in the Plough this Sunday just gone. A sunday roast, it was pretty good but it did take over an hour to come and had to ask the staff where our food was. Very nice pub though, good staff, they just need to sort out this issue with speed of service at the bar and waiting for food.

Went on long walk to the Dulwich Wood House on Sunday 5th October. Usefully it was closed for refurbishment so we walked in the lovely rain back down to the Plough in the hope of a Sunday Roast Rescue.


Unfortunately as I was waiting with the other ten or so punters for the tall bloke in the glasses who was serving on his own to come back to my section of the bar, presumably the manager (or maybe just Head Of Disappointment) yelled "No more roasts!" at him. From abut five yards away. He looked a little flustered, poor man.


I did wait at the bar for another ten minutes in the vain hope of at least getting a pint but eventually the sugar low had its way, and I dragged my long-suffering significant other out on the street, muttering the likes of "useless place", "never again" etc.


My beer-starved mood wasn't helped by said tall gentleman's riposte to my observation that perhaps they needed some more staff working the bar, which was "we need a lot more of a lot of things".

      Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
