It was a harvester when I was a kid, complete with Wurzel Gummage and Aunt Sally, so mid 80s.

A Toby Carvery would do very well there I'm sure. The one at Elmer's End is always packed.

For the love of god, No.

I love watching the 'plate dance' at a Toby Carvery.

[Jah Lush]

I was unaware they still existed.

[apbremer]

Considering that the EGs have been fiddling around with the empty dairy in Croxted Road for about 11 (yes,. ELEVEN!) years I wouldn't expect any action any time soon. Their wheels grind exceedingly slowly!!

Nearest Toby Carvery is in Beckenham

?3.99 for an all-you-can-eat breakfast! I'm there...

[Jah Lush]

Just as naff as a Harvester.

[Salsaboy]

You'll find me in front of you in the queue.

Harvester do all-you-can eat breakfast for ?4.99. Including hot items and "continental". If you play it right, it fills you up until dinner time and then some.

Dear Dulwich Estates, you're a fecking disgrace. Hurry up and get this place up and running again. We need a pub up this end of Lordship Lane.

Seconded.

[natty01295]

Yes we need a pub like this Reopened - Urgent!!!!

[wulfhound]

Yes please! With halfway competent food they'd make a fortune off the Sunday walkers in the woods.

[ludoscotts]

They really need to do something with it soon as it looks like squatters are in there again. Writing has appeared in the upstairs windows in last couple of weeks despite it all being boarded up.

Hello, I'm hoping to write a piece about the situation this for a south London blog. If anyone wants to speak about it next week or email me their views, could you private message me? Thank you, Heloise

[JDR]

My in laws had their wedding reception there in the late 60's/early 70's. Allegedly the best pub/carvery in South London! They moved to Sunderland, we moved to Underhill Road! Small world. Wish it could be returned to that

[snooks]

In the 60's it was a superb restaurant frequented by many a film star

[Drxyster]

Was the restaurant called "The Gun Room"?

[natty01295]

What's happening about this pub Any News

[Jah Lush]

According to Dulwich Estates it won't be reopening as a pub. It's looking like more flats and retail space, which is a bloody shame.

[Earl Aelfheah]

The Dulwich Estate behaves like a bunch of feudal lords. The fact that they are recognised as a charity is ridiculous
