I'll answer this if I may Admin. We are hoping to run the vote again this year, we hear all the bars are jealous of the trophies behind the bar at the Black Cherry and Bishop and so it would be good to do so. We maybe having some other East Dulwich awards too and if it happens then you'll be the first to hear about it. Voting will probably start at the end of November, beginning of December and we may also be looking for sponsors to help us with getting this going.


If you have any ideas for categories for local awards then please let us know, nothing negative please like "shop most likely to fail in the next year". All serious suggestions considered.

A few ideas...


1. Best Bar - Black Cherry, Liquorish

2. Best Pub - The Bishop, The Plough

3. Best Restaurant - Palmerston, Franklins

4. Best Night - Comedy Club, The Gooose

5. Best New Addition - Balfe Bikes, Davina Shoes

etc...


Have a Gold/Silver/Bronze medal system?


Note: The names of the venues are stated to make a distinction/give an idea of where nominees could be placed.

I can see PeckhamRose is thinking along the same lines as me.

Should definitely differentiate between the pub and the bar, if only to keep the old duffers happy when someone suggests adventure!


Like the food sub categories idea, how about Best Burger/Roast/Curry/Pasta/Cocktail/Pint/Breakfast/Soup/Kebab..etc etc.


...and not sure if it was done before but after reading the mural post how about best local Councilor? I'm sure some would be tempted to suggest that the standard would be pretty low but a little more competitive tension and free PR on an annual basis might see a gradual improvement over the long term!

God at this rate everyone will get a prize! How about best East Dulwich based covers band? ;-)


Like the idea of best bar person, and with all my old crew gone, Rueben is getting my vote.


Will be interesting this year, my usual vote of CPT, will probably be changed, would have been Plough, but Mag has made a late surge just at the same time the service at The Plough seems to have gone a bit tits up...

Good points there Keef. But I think the Plough deserves it this year overall. When you consider what a horrible dump it was before the revamp. OK, they need more staff and it seems the good folk of Dulwich do love a moan about the Sunday roasts but when you think what it used to be like. You'd have crossed the road to avoid it.

I really like the new Mag but I think the awards have come a bit too soon this year for it to be worthy of my vote. Maybe next year and certainly if they keep up the good work they've put in so far.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
