Sounds like it was just what I needed after a tough week at work. Glad a good time was had by all. (Saw Mr Andrew D Black in Mon Petit Chou this morning, sneaking in for a crafty croissant and coffee. Mentioned that it had been quietish)

I wonder whether it was something to do with a distinct change of weather over the course of the week. Last weekend was Summery and then during the week Autumn arrived with cold dark mornings and evenings. People like to snuggle up at home after a hard week at work.


Miserable sods :))

The number of photos is a barometer of the number of people. Here are the photos - http://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewblack/sets/72157607719571956/. I think this one should be a caption competition -

I will try to get round to uploading those from the Duke too....

Met with two lovely people from this forum yesterday afternoon.

Discussed going to the EDForum meetings and then today see the photos and know why I would not want to go!

Don't want a picture of my mush plastered up on someone's Flickr account ruining everyone's dinner!

Cheers for the pics Andrew


I thought the pub itself was nicely busy but a lack of music for most of the night hindered atmosphere. The turn-out for forum drinks was lower than usual but thems the breaks. Those that did turn up were good company.


I think the care and will to succeed from the owner is palpable. It's as far from a corporate pub as can be - I would echo Annaj's comment and say that it has become a favourite of mine in short time. And getting Reuben on board is, as Keef says, a great coup


Edited: slightly

Actually I recall hearing about the tears and tribulations of Green and Blue, if not here then most definitely on their blog - news of which spilled onto here, rather like a cheap cloying sweet sherry.

He was overjoyed that his Oliver Hardy impression was still a hit with the ladies.

::o Mr Andrew D Black.... are you trying to get my in trouble...?!!!! Honestly FO, I was just trying to whisper in Mr P's ear - and errr... missed!


Lovely see everyone who was there the other night - it was my 1st visit to the new incarnation of the Mag I liked it..... it was a tad chilly but the warm welcome from Rose the owner made up for it!!

Agree a bit of background music would have been nice! Will head back soon and check out the food.....

I know a few brace peeps headed to the EDT afterwards.... any gossip anyone?!

I feel I must ride to the defence of the lovely Maiden that is AllyCat. You caught us just after a large poisonous snake had bitten me on the cheek and AllyCat was merely attempting to suck out the poison. Shame on you for thinking otherwise.


Still OK for tonight Ally?

about 2-3 months ago Bren


I am favouring Hoopers as it has been ages since last visit, we were looked after well and the beer is good there


But if people favour the Montpelier (near Peckham Rye station - same rd as Review bookshop and teh Wishing Well) I'm ok with that too

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
