I can't imagine he's suddenly going to treat his managers, chefs and other staff any differently from the horrendous way he's treated them in the past, whether the locals love him or not :(

I hope to be proved wrong. Not that I intend ever going there.

[Otta]

I thought someone had said he wasn't at The Golden Lion. May have to pop in and have a look soon.

[Sundial]

Funnily enough I was in a pub in crystal palace last week, got talking to a bar maid and the cherry tree came up, apparently the wife of the owner was very good to her when she needed help.

Hi Sue

When i got married in 1998, we rented rooms above the old wishing well, for my inlaws. The rooms were affordable and were very nice. My inlaws, were not fussy, being from Belfast, you would not be. :)But they loved the place, and the owners back then, the McCanns, laid on a great pre and post wedding party for us. Now thats what I call a good pub.And the ales were great :)

I really liked the old Wishing Well much much more than the New Victoria Inn... not my cup of tea at all, so I never go there now.

[Otta]

What Jah said.

Agreed, same here.

[Sundial]

It's really hard to find a decent pub and not a bar where there's good ale and music, and NOT have to pay at the door

[Jah Lush]

Rubbish.

You can't have looked very hard.

You cynic you. Just the other day I was chatting to a barmaid in Deptford and she was telling me that the previous owners of the Cherry Tree had in fact sold up so that they could donate the money to charity. They also promote race relations in deprived areas.

True story Bro.

[Sundial]

She can you recommend a really good pub, that has live music

The Ivy House is an excellent pub which often has free live music.

So does the EDT.

That's two, for a start.

The Rye used to on Saturdays - they even had a little ballot box

to keep it, and I voted YES.

I think the NO vote won though because it stopped - some people

don't like bands in pubs.

Excellent live Jazz at the Great Exhibition last Sunday.

That makes three.......

[Sue]

The Castle sometimes has good free live music, eg Steve Boltz Bolton.

I used to see bands at the Plough sometimes, too.

[Sue]

Joiners' Arms often has live music.

[Jah Lush]

The Plough are starting up acoustic nights on Sundays.

White Horse in Peckham has the excellent Easycome on Wednesdays.

Is that still on? Thought the pub had changed hands.

[Otta]

It is, but hasn't happened yet.

Oh, and jazz doesn't count, it is evil.

[niall]

Easycome May be the worst band name I have ever heard.

Worse even than Chineapple punx
