Thanks for your list of possible nights for The Duke, we are hopefully going to be building our reputation around Great Food, Great Drinks & Great Music, but that might change?



I hope to see you soon at the best Dining Room & Lounge Bar in Nunhead!!!


Yours Sincerely David Taylor (tu)

might not be the sort of kind that they're after (i think that some people think that poker's seedy)


but if they were to put on a poker night, i'd def try to make it

From the DCMS:


A limited amount of low stakes, social poker may be played in pubs. There is a stakes limit of ?5 per player per game (not per hand), and the aggregate stakes limit for pub poker is ?100 per day for each premises. So, for example, a pub could run a daily poker game involving 20 players staking ?5 each. The maximum prize for a game of poker played in a pub is also ?100. No charge or entry fee may be made for participating in pub poker and, as with clubs, no deductions or levies may be made from either stakes or prizes.

i'd play a 20 player ?5 in tourney (with prizes of say ?60/?30/?10?)


and i'd buy a couple of drinks whilst i was there


sounds like a good idea for a quiet night (tuesday?), if there's actually interest beyond you and me

Yep, sounds good to me. Four tables of five people with the winners of each going on to a final and two or three walking away with the cash.


It's not a casino so there's no "comps" and everyone there will be drinking and maybe eating before or after (if they go out early!).


Over to you Mr Smokiewoodlands....

After a few weeks of never been off the front page, this place has slipped off the radar a bit hasn't it?


I popped in last night after work to finish a book and was delighted to be near a real fire. Less delighted to be the only person there however (although people did turn up just before I left)


I still like this place a lot. Join me FFS

As much as I love The Duke.


It's been an easy decision to head back to the west end, from Monday as I have my old job back running the members bar & restaurant @ teatro/stanza. The Duke will eventually become the best venue in that area once there's some decent advertising, word of mouth from the locals will get round (& further afield) & there's a landlord that will do things for the locals that are a bit more than normal (things done with a key?)


I will always look for The Duke's score on a Saturday & a piece of my heart will remain in Nunhead after I have gone to the wild west end.


Good Luck!

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      Bitey Fox.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
