The Clockhouse Pub - weekend chaos


onthemove123

Recommended Posts

After I emailed Young?s Brewery on Monday, I have today received an email from their Area Manager and the following has now been implemented:


Staff have been warned not to throw/smash bottles in to the recycling bin


No reservations are allowed in the front bar, only the restaurant.


And the best news ? CHILDREN ARE NOW BANNED from the Front Bar.


Thanks!

I'd ban most people who aren't drinkers from the main bar. No food, no children, no yummies hogging a mug of decaf coffee for two hours, no loud knobs with rugger shirts on shouting across the bar, no one who's doesn't drink a minimum of a pint every hour (and that's generous). God I would make a great landlord.

OMG.


What have they done to the Double Locks?


I used to go there a lot in the mid eighties.


ETA: Just realised I was thinking of that other pub on the canal near Countess Weir. Went there more than the Double Locks. Can't remember its name. Did go to the Double Locks sometimes too though ....

I'd drink in your pub!

a quick google of "double locks shame" gives a taste of what happened Sue


Was the other one you mention the Turf Locks?



The Double Locks - a perenially busy, rambling, ramshackle pub, CAMRA winner, great food, camping in the garden in the summer, a great mix of people, real fires


And now a Youngs pub serving overpriced awful food, limited beers by staff who don't know what beers are on or how to serve - and no camping, fires or atmosphere

I probably would too! Nice to have options... places you can go with the kids for a spot of lunch, and other places free of buggies and crying babies. Preferably no loud knobs with rugby shirts in either.

That last comment suggests to me that loud knobs must aspire to be like rugby fans.

Otta, you are wrong. I don't know what age you are but my grand-kids had to play outside the Dulwich Woodhouse as kids were not allowed in the bar area until they reached the age of 14. This was pub rules at the time, which is some 17 years ago. So I guess maybe you are young enough not to be aware of this.


Just wish the same rules applied now!

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
