There isn't much difference. Both are a bit scummy, but not the end of the world.

In Italy/France/Spain adults drink around kids, and the children learn to be responsible with alcohol. I therefore propose that beer in the playground is compulsory for all Dads. (Mums can choose aperol spritz if modelling themselves after the Italians).
Worth mentioning if anyone needs a playground alternative... Gambado sells not only (fairly) decent coffee, but also (only somewhat overpriced) beer.... and they're air conditioned. I always try to get an armchair, and once I almost finished reading an entire newspaper! xx

Pants, I was really hoping to have a pint in the playground - do I need ot have aperol spritz instead?

I think you'll find that Prosecco is the chosen choice of the good ladies of East Dulwich Jezza, though who's to say that this Aperol Spritz may take on over here now that you've mentioned it.

    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us.
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead 
    • Tried months ago, to get folk together to do something, to say thank you. Been a member of the forum for years and if you had not stepped up, would not be an active  forum. Well administered as well. So from me to you, thanks for keeping it going..  Happy Christmas and blessings and good fortune in 2026 which I am told is The Year of The Horse….
