I don't particularly care if he is there, I was wondering why someone who supposedly didn't have anything to do with the Bishop anymore would still leave his dog there to be looked after by bar staff.

I can't see much of a change in there.

The service was very tired and the bar was dirty and not being to busy with enough staff to make sure the service was good and it to have been clean.

I think the staff needs a good shake up and it needed to look a little bit different not just a good clean up

Sorry not much of a change

Are you kidding? They've changed everything! Floors, walls, colours, furniture, everything! The filthy dirty dark pub has gone. The windows now open so it was nice and cool inside. They've a cool massive mirror behind the bar with beer taps in and they've thankfully done something about those foul men's toilets! Maybe your just not a very observant person! Credit where it's due, they've done a great job & I thought the staff were great!

Yes I can very much see there had been a refurb

But not very cool and trendy nor quirky design is it

I also couldn't see that it was very much brighter but yes the air conditioning was working much better

The pictures were naff the colour was naff and as I said staff were not smiling and not happy to be working

And again as I said before the bar was dirty and standing there for at least 30 mins with a terrible glass of white wine

Which I couldn't even drink it as it was that bad

I revisited The Bishop last night after a personal invite from the assistant manager to come and see

what they had done to the place as I had not been in for quite a while.


I have to admit the place is unrecognisable to the old Bishop.. The high window tables which I personally

disliked have gone.. The lighting has vastly been improved giving a much more pleasant ambiance.


The loud music has been turned/toned down.. and the usual rowdy mob of Jaeger Bomb drinking idiots were not

in evidence.


The biggest improvement are the loos... wish have now been completely refurbished to a VERY high standard.

The old loos were dreadful.


I was in there late and never got a chance to sample the food or see the menu..

Would definitely consider sampling the food there at a later date.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
