That date changed a few months ago. Mid-January/early February now.

The world became a dangerous place.

I'll bet that had two fellas been chatting at the bar over a pint on the last night it was open, and one had said "by the time this place reopens, Donald Trump could well be president of the USA". He'd have been told he'd had enough and should probably be moving on.

Possibly with "Alright son, whatever you say - I suppose Bob Dylan's gonna be Nobel Laureate an'all?"

Anyone want a sweepstake on what an ordinary pint of medium bitter (say a 4.2%) will cost when they reopen? I'll go for ?5.30...

Yes - when I was looking the other day for info on when it would reopen I was surprised to see on TripAdvisor that it's "Open now 11.00-23.00" - may be a few disappointed tourists.

I had lunch at the Dog's "sister" pub, the Plough on Saturday. They told me that due to ongoing differences with the Dulwich Estate, reopening has been delayed until April 2017.


New wager. Which will come first, the Dog opening to paying customers or Virgin media upgrading the broadband in SE22?

This was the OP to this thread in September 2014 - they weren't wrong with the 2017 bit.

I just really liked the idea of a 5 min walk for a quick pint (no kids) on Christmas Day which I understand was a tradition at the Dog. Three Christmases will now have passed before this happy dream becomes a reality.


The Dulwich Estate have no care for public amenity and have demonstrated a lack of effective project management for this refurbishment. It should have taken 12-18 months max.

    • 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...
