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.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
