Scott sold the Castle in September 2006 so he could expand his 'empire' - I worked there for quite a while up until the sale (to two local blokes). Whilst not passing judgement on them within two weeks all the staff had left and half of them are now at the Bishop - yep still there 3 years on. For some reason his bar staff are a bit obsessivly loyal...

Keef dont bash the bishop I also think that it's nice during the day but a bit trashy at the weekend tho.

Howdy y'all.


I have sold The Bishop into 'The capital Pub company',of which I am a shareholder and Operation's Director.

The operation will not change at all, we make subtle changes on an ongoing basis.

Neil will still manage, Clarence and I stay put and the weekend nights will hopefully remain as painfully busy.


I don't agree with the 'tw@ts' observation


We're closed for three days from today to finally paint the front section. All the leather banquettes & booths will be changed in a couple of weeks time. Long overdue but considering the volume of trading for the last four years it hasn't done too bad.


Can't do much with floor short of stripping the whole pub out...


A head wil roll for the 'scolding' spelling mistake.

Keef.. surely a tad subjective to say that all the people in there on a friday / saturday are 'tw@ts' ... would be interested to know how you're definining them... maybe i'm a 'tw@t'?... hmmm. Might be somthing to add to my CV.


For what it's worth i love the bishop.. nice guys, great food, lovely beer and in my own humble opinion, normally a nice crowd.

but Friday and Saturday it's full of tw@ts


Think you might be taking me just a little bit too literally there, I never said "all the people in there".


Sort of people I mean probably make up 10% of the crowd, but they are the 10% that get noticed, and they are the 10% that stop me wanting to go anywhere near the place at the weekends.

Hey... what's wrong with Top Shop... and student unions for that matter...


?????????

Code for "young people", Charlie, and perhaps a bit snobbish too. Who doesn't have something from TopShop in their wardrobe? I have Topshop sunbins and love them.


That said, I'm generally old for TS, and hugely intimidated by the mid-teens waifish clientele, so come to think of it, grrr to them all!

I have to say I'm curious as to the correlation between the quality of food in the castle and the absence of the dog.

Was the dog a fine chef, or has he become the foodstuff? What's the implication?


And surely they're a completely different set of beers in the Florence to the Bishop. Microbrewed beers and small name lagers/ciders etc. Not a single high st booze available there [at the Florence] frankly.


And don't give me 'similar' set, all pubs are that.

bet you have got the Topshop floral underpants, Brendan

after all, they are this seasons key item...

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
