The Crown & Greyhound is undoubtedly a lovely pub in a great location and is perfect for a pint after a walk through the park. However, over the last few months I've noticed that things have started to slip quite drastically. Different ales often run out, service is slow (without a smile), plates are never cleared up (particularly in the garden during the summer) and the quality of the staff leaves a lot to be desired. I realise that many of them might be students but you would at least expect them to actually notice who is next in the queue, smile and have at least an idea about the drinks they are serving. The place really is resting on its laurels.

Just out of interest, I presume the Crown and the Plough are the same brewery, or food supplier, as the menus look the same- food, design etc is this right? Went in the White Hart in CP at the weekend too and they had a very similar designed menu with very similar food. All nice pubs but I get a bit tired of seeing the same old menus.

Well Bon3yard, it serves you right for looking like a Russian billionaire.

Hope you got that Osborne gadgy to belly up to the bar and get a few in, before revealing yourself.

I also hope that was a single entendre.

They were amongst the most disgusting things I've ever eaten, as indeed was the whole "meal" they accompanied :-S


I'd take a lot of persuasion ever to have Sunday lunch at the Dog again ......

Yes - I agree the Herne food is fantastic and has been for some time, regular menu changes too. However it is ideal for families as the garden is a play area, so if you are not keen on kids in pubs then maybe not for you, but if like me you have young children tis ideal, they can play safely while you finish your food/beer.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
