Presumably M&B as the previous tenant of the pub made a planning request to DE, rather than there being any other bidders or proposals for the site or any choice for DE to make.


But yes, they could have perhaps had a tender process, although that might have depended upon the existing M&B lease if they had one.


In general though I'd be interested to know the cost of a lease of a retail unit in the Village as compared to a similar one in Lordship Lane. Its often quoted as the reason why the Village only has chains, as only they can afford the lease costs, but it might be that the Village is just a bit sh1t, sleepy, elderly, lack of footfall, lack of life, atmosphere etc - I mean I suspect most of the locals come to the Palmerston, Franklins, Yama Momo or even Le Chardon when they want to have a good meal and leave the M&B food to Dulwich Park visitors and hangers on.

Briliant M&B taking over, a proper Birmingham brewery with Brew IX and mild. That will be a shock to the gentrified masses.

And even better

Actually I thought it was generally OK the Dog, and don't understand if a place is doing well why they have to change things

What, they'll be shocked that the same people that have had the pub for years (along with The Alleyns Head, and The Plough in Dulwich) still have the pub?


Yeah, shocking man.

Alas they're no longer a brewery - they're just a pubco these days. Brew XI ("for the men of the Midlands")is now brewed by Brains, who themselves are owned by Coors. I remember serving in a pub in Brum in the early 80s and a very p*ssed punter moaned: "Two men have ruined my marriage." I asked, "Who?" He replied, "Mitchell and Butler..."

Yep sadly I knew all of this, but thanks for commenting.


The Cape brewery went years ago and their Wolverhampton Springfield brewery stuggled on independently until it burned down.


Brew XI was pretty awful stuff and smelled of puke. But it was real puke!


Now Bathams, there is a different kettle of fish. And Bonks'

You think that you have problems?

I've been waiting 20 years to be served at the Moore Park Hotel https://whatpub.com/pubs/SEL/11210/moore-park-hotel-forest-hill - just found out that is no longer serves alcohol


A few years ago I thought that I'd try the Dulwich Woodhouse. I pushed the front door, knocked at it, but it wouldn't be opened. There were people in there laughing and staring but no b would let me in (assume that it must be a bunch of freemasons).


In desparation I have gone to the Grove Tavern. Some nice outdoor seating but most unwelcoming and you have to bring your own booze.


So the Dog is in good company.

      Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.

      A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
