Its funny how many people say they like the CPT, however do not go back there very often. Lets hope it picks up in summer with the seating area outside and the bbq.

I used to go there when I first moved to ED but now there is more choice on LL it does not really enter my radar.

Was in there Friday night, not busy, except for our group. Was in there for the footy yesterday, rather busy, lots of really bloody annoying rugby playing lads, who felt the whole world needed to know that they played rugby!


I hate rugger buggers, I used to play loads, but never felt the need to go around pubs talking in a really loud over confident voice, and making out that I was a huge drinker, when actually I couldn't hold more than 3 pints!!!!!


For the record, I can hold a shed load of beer, but I wasn't one of these people :)-D

Is that you Dave? I thought Dan was alright and got a fair bit of unwarranted stick, but I seem to be in the minority. I also know lots of people who'd have paid to have seen that headbutt, and whilst wrong, I do think that having a beer thrown over me by a mouthy prick may have made me want to do the same. Anyway, just so we're clear on here, the CPT is NOT a rough pub.

Almost everything that could potentially be done with the CPT is explored on another thread...


Someone needs to buy the lease off that joyless woman, stick Keef in charge, the Inside 72 jukebox in and an Aussie bird with big tits behind the bar. And everyone will be happy again.


Until that happens I'm sorry but it will remain a faded backwater pub that about 4 people drink in with silly wall paper out front and a velvet morgue in the back.

We were in there at the weekend and it was absolutely rammed, it was lovely to see it so full :)


Glad other people are discovering its charms :)

The seats in the back needed refurbed/replaced at least 5 years ago. I'm not sure if they have because I no longer go in that part - but I'd say the pub is really well positioned and could have a big catchment if it got its act together and did a proper refurb.

It only seems to be busy on sports events.

He had a load of people back one night, got totally sh!t faced, and didn't get up to open the pub the next day. Trisha came in to find Barbara on her own, and went upstairs to find him in bed with a hangover.

But the lack of a "proper refurb" is why it's such a great place.


Though OK, they could do something with their planting out the front, and also the Ladies :)) And if they brought back the Adnams Broadside instead of the bitter, that would definitely make me go there more.


But I like both the bars as they are. I noticed at the weekend that they had done something to the ceiling in the "old" bit, but it still has that unreconstructed feel :)


Edited to say: If Dan was the guy who kindly gave me his Little Miss Sunshine tee shirt, respect :)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • 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...
