Hello EDF!


The nights are getting warmer and longer, and I'm planning a pub crawl, playing the birthday card to keep "can't we go somewhere central?" to a minimum.


I'm going to start at Goose Green and wind my way up to Rye Lane and the Bussey Building, but thought that there would be no better place than here to check I'd not missed any favourite pubs/bars out!


Current plans are:

The Bishop

The EDT

Heading up to the Flying Pig

Then on to the Gowlett

(Skipping the Victoria and Prince Albert through fear of blood poisoning)

Up Blenheim Grove to Bar Story/Peckham Springs/Brick Brewery

Aaannd as Franks isn't open for another month, popping up to the roof of the Bussey Building (if it isn't raining)so the tourists can enjoy the view.


If I've missed an unmissable, your thoughts would be welcome!


Cheers!

I had completely forgotten about the Montpellier and really do prefer it to the FP. I didn't even know the four quarters existed (I think it's disguised a bit too well, I'd always thought it was a weird casino) but what a great place for a regroup!


I love pedlar as well but think they may not take too kindly to us piling in en masse and demanding a quick round of peckham martinis at the bar...

Jah- this is my biggest concern.

Nigello - the hope might be a bit out of the way but I am crossing my fingers that john the unicorn will be ready. This unfortunately won't help aforementioned biggest concern.

I've never been to the peckham liberal club but have always wondered about what lies within!

Went on a stag related pub crawl a few months ago. The plan was to take in ten pubs, so I went for a half in each, carefully pacing myself so I'd still be sober enough for whatever club we ended up in. But no... 11:30pm and everyone went home. So that was that.

Always find pub crawls if over ambitious a bit of chore*. Just as I get settled, fancy another pint the cry goes up, " We are moving on" By pub 3 a breakaway group has formed and we all meet up at the last boozer on list. 3 or 4 pubs Max for me these days, with a couple of hours in one over lunch. Sorted.


Enjoy your Birthday pub crawl wherever you go KM.


*see also fancy dress parties.

Deffo avoid the Bishop. I'd probably cut out the Gowlett and Montpellier too- or end in them. After the Flying Pig go to Four Quarters (lots of fun, good music and good beer) then on to Rye Wax (basement of Bussey Building- cocktail happy hour is 6-8 I think) then Brick Brewery/Bar Storey & Peckham Springs, finish at the Montpellier/Gowlett

My housemate reconnoitred the re-reopened Prince Albert at the weekend, and now wishes to officially designate it as "our local". Worth a look.

Im thinking of coming through on Saturday* and doing a bit of a crawl...Not sure what I fancy as yet. 3 or 4 pubs heading back toward Peckham Rye...


Im hearing the New Hope has opened so may sniff that out.


*meeting an old school friend on Friday which may put paid to that though.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
