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.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
