Crooked Well is nice, as is The Palmerston and the Actress does the best pizza but avoid it there's football on. The Rye Hotel is crap, food awful last week and it was like a cr?che and whatever you do, don't have a roast in the Clockhouse - rank! Clockhouse bar staff are slow and dopey and if it's nice weather it's like a cr?che and full of annoying families and really rough looking regulars who use fowl language, smoke like chimney's and look at you like they own the place! Vile!
Erm, I'm a regular at The Clockhouse you toffee nosed madam, yes I smoke but not on a loop and the regulars, as you so call us are REGULARS, we go in a few nights a week where as people like you come once in a blue moon, I go in there after work (yes, I do work - very good job in the media actually) and have been for about 4 years, the regulars know my name, we chat and they are loyal and friendly, and the bar staff know my tipple! And to quote us a rough? I don't really class a south London accent as rough, if you don't like mixing or looking at a load of honest and decent people who drink in there regulary then I suggest you don't come in as my bite is worse than my stare!

fowl language - is that a lot of squawking at the 'rank' food?

Well tillytots the regulars at the Clockhouse probably do own the place as they've spent enough over the years! You must be so up your own backside that you can't see or hear properly or maybe you feel the world should adapt to you 'cos you obviously think you're very special!! I should imagine you're very boring and colourless so you wouldn't fit in with the regulars anyway as they'd be far too witty for you! I see someone picked up on the 'fowl' language, so lots of cluck cluck jokes coming up!! Maybe you'd also like a pecking order at the bar!
I am a regular at the Clockhouse too. Been going there for over 20years. Firstly I don't smoke, secondly I don't stare at people especially toffee nose stuck up ones. I don't own the place but I feel like I should the amount of money that I have put over the bar and I certainly wouldn't want you in my pub. Next time your in there Tillytots come over and introduce your self rather than slag us regulars off behind a computer. You used the word vile you must be vile because I am certainly not and neither are my friends. We are all good people paid our NI and taxes all of our lifes. Have a good day!!!

Last time I looked the Clockhouse wasn't in Camberwell. I agree about the d?cor. It's been ruined. Same goes for The Dulwich Woodhouse. It has put me off going to both pubs and I've been going in them for 40 years. And if Tillytots is the sort of person who goes in there with any regularity then I'll definitely be avoiding it in future.


Anyway, back to Camberwell... Another plus for the Crooked Well.

Love Angels & Gypsies. That whole stretch is great for (evening) eating. Plus the pubs for more daytime stuff and boozing of course.


Camberwell Arms is pretty great - menu always changing, make their own charcuterie, cocktails, more adventurous stuff like game/rabbit. Crooked Well very good too, but a safer option.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
