I popped along last night with S - had a chat with the owner Jamie who told me of his plans to do up the outside garden bit and introduce food - sounds like a possible future meetup venue


It is very much early days tho - all of the Ivanhoe regulars seem to be checking it out and unsure about the changes to their regular so fingers crossed. Barman was very pleasant too.

Nice one keef, a couple more and we'd have challenged the "doctors and no medics" for the title I reckon.

I've not been to the Mag quiz, but it's not CPT hard, and as they're not really used to pub quizzes yet, they were heavy on the hints and so forth.


Definitely worth another crack though.

Ahem I ended up playing tennis, it was such a nice evening, however my mates were the winning outfit, they gloated this morning. No ringers in the team, just locals


KT

Typical questions were:

Name the three disciplines of horse eventing?

Which Bond film was the first to get a 15 certificate?

A skeleton riding a horse means what on Tarot cards?

What is Martin Offiah's nickname?


We were the East Dulwich Three-um (there was meant to be four of us) and seeing as the winning team had 40% more people I think we did ok. Can't do next week but will definitely be up for the following week.


Generally it's a decent place, it's a pub that has good beers, a non smoking section and friendly staff, I think it could do with a bit of atmosphere but that'll hopefully come in time. I believe they're having a beer festival sometime soon, if anyone knows more details let us know.

Went in there last night for the first time and tried to work out what wasn't quite right. The revamp must've driven away all the regulars, which is a shame because it hardly looks like a minimalist wine bar now, in fact they seemed to have filled it with all the usual tat form the 'furnish a pub' wholesalers. It was too brightly lit for a pub and the music (blaring out of cheap ghettoblaster thing lacked inspiration.


It was far from awful... it just didn't seem to have any personality or character. I felt a bit sorry for the landlord chap who seems to have misjudged both his old and new, potential, clientele.


Still, i'll probably go back, even if it's just for the location.


(Er, hello. I'm new btw.)

Yeah I wish it all the best if just because it means I don't _have_ to go to the Market Porter for a decent pint of ale now.


I guess these things take time and after a big inital outlay further improvements like a better sound system will come in fits and starts. It is missing a little something at the moment, but some sound groundwork and I hope it begins to find itself and some more customers. I'll certainly pop in from time to time.

Piers and I went in there on Monday. Thought it was grand. A couple great pints of ale (I think it was the last day of the festival), friendly service, and I could pass out on the comfy sofa. There's a quiz night on Thursdays that tempts me (anybody else?).
Hi Guys, this is Viv, jamie the landlord's partner. We have noted your various comments over the last few posts. We have today received a quote for a professional sound system. We were let down on a previous supplier.We have a number of events coming up which we think will interest local folks. On Wed. 23rd May we have a wine tasteing evening hosted by Bibendium, who will showcase some wines that we will hope be popular enough to join our wine list.We would also like to have a regular Mother & Toddlers morning, and we would love to hear from mothers who would like to come along.Obviously not being on Lordship Lane means that people have to make a positive effort to come here but we have a lovely space to relax in, and we hope to see some of you soon. Regards Viv.

Hi Viv - I spoke with Jamie when I popped in over the first week or so and mentioned this place - glad to see you guys pop by


If you have read some of the other threads (specifically those concerning Green & Blue) you might be worried about how harsh some of us can be but fear not - we are softies really


BTW - hoping to pop in this evening so I'll look out to say hi

    • 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...
