The Cherry Tree

[Dodger]

Nice to see the Cherry Tree picking up,we have just left there after having

a very nice meal,the atmosphere was great and the open fire gave a nice homely feel.

Sigh.

[malcolmchurch]

a bit of grovelling here

I am the originator of the story that the Capitol in Forest Hill would become a cinema. I have now been reliably informed that, despite much effort, Lewisham Council and English Heritage have imposed conditions making it impossible for a cinema to be viable.

Whether or not it will remain a Wetherspoons is unknown.

However I DO know that Tim Martin Wetherspoons Charirman and originator of the chain visited The Cherry Tree recently and they are interesed in making it a wetherspoons but there is competition from at least 2 other pub chains including Youngs. I would love it to be Wetherspoons. Nothing decided yet.

[edcam]

I'd hate for it to be either a Young's or a Wetherspoons. If only the current owners would sell it to someone who could do something interesting and worthwhile with it. But please, not a Wetherspoons.

[holloway]

please not a wetherspoons. may aswell supplant a cosmic black hole in ed. no light or heat can escape.

I like Wetherspoons :)

[Peckhamrye]

So do I Sue - always a decent range of beer and the wine is good value - the food isn't exactly cordon bleu but at least it's honest.

[StraferJack]

whatever the food at wetherspoons is, honest it ain't

a tenner for "peri peri chicken breast " I paid - what I got was reformed, gloopy reconstuted gloop (that was the chicken not the sauce!). And if the sauce was peri peri, then Tim Martin is a Europhile

Daylight robbery is the opposite of "honest"

[Peckhamrye]

I don't usually venture that far into the exotic so I stand corrected - the crispy king prawns are quite toothsome though....

[Tj henderson]

how about serving mince pie this year that would be nice
