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.

"You've always been able to take kids to the pub."


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!

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
