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".

    • That's very special ♥️
    • @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit
    • I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.  
    • Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
