Yes, true :)

Nope, just repeating what I was told.

Good stuff. Really looking forward to having another pub up this end of ED. Let's hope the forum can hold off tearing it apart. Perhaps I can head off some of the inevitable complaints... No drinks won't be sold at 1987 prices, yes there probably will be parents with children there some of the time and possibly some patrons may come from the middle classes.

Come come Louisa, I'm sure you can find something :))


There are bound to be a few middle class people in there when it opens, for a start :))


But re the beer, if they are still tied to Enterprise Inns, that could be a potential issue in terms of what they're able to sell and how they price it, I think?

"But re the beer, if they are still tied to Enterprise Inns, that could be a potential issue in terms of what they're able to sell and how they price it, I think?"


That's always going to be the worry. Out of interest, I looked up Enterprise and they publish a price list:


http://www.enterpriseinns.com/documents/publican-price-list.pdf


The list of cask ales available is actually not bad; if it's well kept there's plenty to keep beer drinkers happy, though not perhaps very excited. The bigger problem as I understand it with pubco tied tenancies is that often the overall terms are predicated on very ambitious levels of beer sales, which if as a tenant you don't hit will get you into financial problems pretty quickly. They are structured so that the pubco never loses money - if you fail they just move in, get you out, and find another tenant, while they pursue you (or more likely your guarantor) for money. All that having been said, you would think that even Enterprise would want to see a stable business on the site so might take a sensible view, and the new tenants are clearly not inexperienced in the pub business so should have a realistic business plan. I wish them well.

I'll give them a re-evaluation once the place opens. May pop in with my 'classometer' to test the water (beer) for any signs of three-wheeled prams and accompanying parents ;-)

Come on, three wheeled prams are so 2007!


How about prams without accompanying parents? Would that be OK?

Jeremy I'm at the end of my tether with prams of any description. Seeing as most local pubs now have traffic calming measures including speed bumps and lights, to manage these 3/4/5/6 wheeled passenger jets for kids, it would be nice if this great little brand had a grumpy adult bar and a screaming middle class mum and toddler bar. I'd be made up!

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
