Oh no can't be true. I seem to remember from the 'impossible to buy a house in this area' thread that d..er..pokertime was unfamiliar with quids' robust posting style, so no, def can't be true, definitely, unequivocally, decisively, emphatically, assuredly not true.

keeping on topic, ages ago now but I was going to have my birthday drinks at the Cherry Tree when Chris & Antonia were there, I remember the buzz around it and was looking forward to giving the place another go. Had heard so so many good things about the food. Hope things work out for the new people working there but not going to place any bets.


used to go there years ago (1990s) when visiting my ex-friend (whose ex-wife had a catering stint at the pub when Thai food was fast becoming popular). She didn't last long there either. Dunno if it's the same people or not.was called something else, can't remember name.

I made some positive comments regarding The Cherry Tree at the start of this particular thread and was totally unaware of the negative history of the pub (oh, and the constant revolving doors for chefs at this establishment ~ this happens all the time in many public inns especially after the smoking ban made them a far harder proposition to create business). TCT is not in a position to compete with the likes of the other themed, 'Is it a gastro-pub, is it restaurant, is it a wine bar, does it specialise in craft beers', in my opinion as it does not have - geographically - the kudos of the Lordship Lane trend set and men in flip-flops' brigade.


It caters for locals (heaven forbid), the Sky Sport regulars, the only pub with a large gay contingent, and okay, the food wasn't brilliant. If any contributors lived in SE22 10 years or so and remembered the old spit-and-sawdust pubs since redeveloped. It's not that bad at all and certainly not stuck up.


AS for edcam's comment to my post:

"The5thMan is definitely in the Cherry Tree's target demographic."


What the bloody hell does that mean? I'm intrigued?! My glass is half full. Thank you.

I personally would prefer 25 degrees celsius but am willing to compromise. Can they not use the urinals though as accidents can sometimes occur by those wearing regulation footwear when standing next to these chaps; and can they make sure their grubby London toenails aren't anywhere near to be seen when I am enjoying a sub-standard pub lunch with my girlfriend. It's most off-putting to see this when you're tucking into a sticky toffee pudding created by the latest head chef who will probably be sacked next week and then moan that he/she was treated unfairly. I think I've said all I can on the matter and don't believe there was any sign of sarcasm in my comment, to boot. I am planning my next comment to be made on this forum to be considered 'offensive' by the administrator. As a passionate believer in free speech, I believe it's the right for one not only to offend, but also, and just as importantly, to be offended. Leave that one for another day ED people.

Steady on. This is a family friendly pub.

Given the standards of pubs round here, i'd almost be tempted.

Haaang on...is there a pattern i'm seeing?


Actually on that note, the pubs here make terrible use of space, have universally terrible bogs and woeful selection of beer, but live or die by the character of the bar staff and management, most of whom are gregarious, welcoming and utterly charming i must say.


If you are happiest with clientele you're comfortable with, then aim the pub that way and be happy, i see no issue with it.

But why aim for a different type of customer that you resent setting foot in your pub then ban them on trumped up charges because you don't like the cut of their pencil necked jib?


Until that circle is squared this cycle debate will continue, tediously, over and over and over again, ad nauseum, in perpetuity, etc.

It's been said on here before once or twice. its incredibly boring.


People turn up for late boozing after wedding reception, people buy booze, i get thrown out accused of drug taking*.

Everyone leaves never to return (much).


I actually got on very well with the bouncer who ejected me, but he just apologetically shrugged and said 'I'm only following orders guv' or words to that effect.


*apparently a favoured tactic to arbitrarily remove those with an inappropriate jib.

Indeed, I remember them doing the same to our mutural friend when he can out of the loo and sniffed (because he genuinely had a bit of a cold) and they immediately grabbed him and chucked him out. The drunken righteous outrage was hilarious!


I do have some cracking memories from the place back then though. When it was the only place in the area you could get a drink past midnight and dance to Hey Ya.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
