It is - they're building a listening station underneath.


It's to spy on Trump.

The Crown & Greyhound

There is still no confirmation of an opening date. There have been further delays on the handover of the base building and we now expect the pub to re-open sometime in June. The continuing delays reflect very badly on the Dulwich Estate.

It's going to be a typical chain middle of the road job serving up average food at expensive prices, which will trump anything drinker/pub related. So we end up with a crap restaurant and a small below average boozer on one side, probably smaller in area and drinks available.

It's nice in summer to go for a walk to somewhere you wouldn't usually go very often. The Dog falls into this category from my side of East Dulwich, with a nice garden out the front to enjoy a drink on a long walk. That option has been removed and very much missed the last few summers. Half Moon can fill that gap now.

Dulwich Estate is shocking. Allowed Shepherds to close without a successor, pubs all closed for years at a time...

Does that mean you won't go?

I'll still stop by for a drink on a long walk, why not? Presumably they'll keep the beer garden out the front.

from this morning..


Good morning Kevin


We are hoping to handover the pub to our tenants on the 18 April to enable them to start their fit out. I anticipate that the pub will then be open in June.


The delay at the current time is a live electricity cable in the basement that needs disconnecting by UKPN and they have given us a date of the 11 April for this to take place.


Regards


Adrian

      Plumber recommendation – Mark at Pure Plumbers

      By JessicaCT · Posted

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
