purds89 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hey Guys,So if you like good food you are in for a real treat.... The Cherry Tree has a new head chef. If you remember enjoying the food and especially the Sunday roasts at the Herne Tavern in 2011/2012 then you are in luck. The head chef from the Herne is now working at The Cherry Tree.So why not give it a go??? There will be a new menu starting around next week and its reasonably priced too!!! The Cherry Tree is situated on Grove Vale almost opposite East Dulwich Station!!Guaranteed GREAT FOOD!!!!!

Jah Lush Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Poor sod. Odds-on he'll be gone by the end of next month. Either he'll be sacked or if he's got any sense he'll walk.

Help-Ma-Boab Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Is he/she the American chef mentioned on here all of 6 weeks ago or is this another one? If new, the American one didnt last long - slightly more than 2 weeks.Im lumping on a tenner and say 7 weeks. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1305039 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44902-new-head-chef-started-at-the-cherry-tree/#findComment-750959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The food at the Herne was OK but every time I went there it took an absolute age to get it to the table. I wonder whether the guy will be there long enough to actually dish up any food?

Sue Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 If he was at the Herne, you'd have thought he'd have heard what had happened to his predecessors at the Cherry Tree. Or maybe there is no communication between local pub chefs?I'm laying no bets at all. How long has the latest manager been there now?

edcam Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 These Cherry Tree threads are always so enthralling. purds89 - please can you save us all a lot of grief and tell us who you are?

The5thMan Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Gary is trying to make a real go of the Cherry Tree. Last time I went there with my partner, the food was great (took a bit of time), the entertainment was superb. I agree that these threads are depressing which is why I rarely comment. I look forward to sarcastic, witless comments from middle-class knobs who don't like Iceland in Lordship Lane and wear flip-flops at the first sign of summer.

StraferJack Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 5thmanThat's harsh and unfair. All this sarcastic posters on here (or many of them, including me) have been to the vale/cherry tree enough times to hear the same promises (new chef! New manager! No interference!) over and over againIt's not us that drives the staff away. It's not simple bad luck that they keep hiring "managers that are problematic"I too have had good food and good times in there. But they will never allow anyone with any talent to just run the pub. Every single one of them leaves in a hurry because of the way they are treated. That's not the fault of anyone posting on here Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/44902-new-head-chef-started-at-the-cherry-tree/#findComment-751090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 They've changed the Name.. They've changed the D?cor.. They've changed the Menu.. They've changed the Chef.. several times.. They've changed the management.. What else could it be that needs to be changed. That's a tough Conundrum.. ??

aquarius moon Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The problem at The Cherry Tree need to realise that it is they who are the problem and not everything/everybody else.

He?s been roasted. Deep psychological problems I expect.
