I went in again last night as Mrs B was curious to see what they?ve done.


The gent?s loos aren?t half posh! I thought I had walked into the ladies until I noticed the urinals. :-S


I ordered a Broadside and it was served up in a jug. (tu):))


They don?t have stools at the bar though. I always find that a bit unfriendly in a pub. (td)

I've gone from wanted a decent boozer on my doorstep to wishing it wasn't there (but in a good way)


I was always able to get home from work, hop off at the library and walk the yards to home without ever even THINKING of stopping for one... whereas now I find it all too hard to not think "If I have just one, I'll be able to finish this chapter)


It's not a perfect pub by any means but I do find myself in there more than I thought I would..

Me and the old man went in on opening night and were very impressed with the garden and exlusive de-luxe smoking area. Unforch we also had to witness the removal of a singularly unpleasnt individual who hadn't seemed to realise that smoking in public places is now illegal, along with this coterie of other ASBO types. Shame really as apart from that it was rather pleasant!

Yep - first couple of evenings I saw a bit of that going on as well. Hence the bouncers every evening thereafter (although I didn't see any on Tue when I went)


Anyway - I figured the first weekend would have been the breakthrough when lot's of the old regulars would have turned up for the first time and decided wether they wanted in or out... Haven't seen any repeat incidents since (of course now I've SAID that...)

Keef, I remember you suggesting that LL was much wider back in day from the picture I posted on this thread? .... Well, I did some research and indeed it was wider, much wider.. The buildings opposite the Plough were all replacements following bomb damage. Before that in the early half of the century, that whole area was an open space unused leading onto a cobbled road.

I went for a roast in The Plough yesterday. 3 of us ate, so had the beef, lamb and veggie between us. Mrs Keef was impressed with the veggie one. And both the beef and lamb were very nice, as was the yorkshire pud (which came with all of them).


Decent portions, and nice trimmings. Only down point was the spuds, which tasted like they'd been cooked a while before and had been sitting there waiting to be reheated. Think the roasts are 12 - 6, and we got there about 4, so that might explain it, but not really a good excuse.


Still, with the exception of the spuds, it was really nice, and I would go back. Plus at ?8.50, it was a good price compared to others down the bottom of Lordship Lane.

It is a regular haunt for myself and Mr MW74. The Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir is the BEST BEST BEST in ED! Mr MW74 is very fond of the Moroccan Lamb Chops.


The chavs are in there still. But after a while they f*ck off to the Uplands. I over heard a conversation on Thursday night at the bar and it went like this...


Bloke 1: "Ere Tel, are you out on the pull tonight then or what?"

Bloke 2: "Nah aint got a chance in ere with all these posh b*tches. I'll ave a couple and then pop off dahwn the Uplands in a bit. Alright in there"


I kind you not.

    • https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14774205/Urgent-warning-opioid-deaths-Met-Police-pills-heroin-nightclubs.html?ito=email_share_article-top   I'm sharing this article to help to spread the word about these new deadly synthetic opioids called Nitazenes which are finding their way onto the drug scene.  Two more young lives lost last weekend in young people at a South London club.    Most people I talk to have never heard of Nitazenes which are being used as contaminants in a number of other drugs including sleeping pills like valium and Xanax, oxycodone but have also been found in vapes and sedative antihistamines and cocaine.  So people buying sleeping tablets and other substances have no idea of the risk they are taking.  This is a relatively new trend and the number of deaths is on the increase.  Do discuss it with your teenagers and young adult children and anyone you know tempted to purchase sleeping tablets online.  It really is a much more dangerous and potentially lethal time to buy tablets online or on the street and hopefully knowledge of Nitazenes can help people protect themselves.  This stuff is in London and no doubt, is already in Dulwich so do spread the word.     
    • The link is showing the real link to the East Dulwich Forum that Joe on here set up.  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DanoiLd48/?mibextid=wwXIfr East Dulwich Mums is my group and is not a spin off from this group. I have no connection to the other EDF Facebook group and nor do I promote any cleaning services. My group is very well run thank you and your information is incorrect.  No, that is the new Facebook group that the admin on here has set up.  Joe does need to turn the settings on that group to pre approval for all posts as there is a lot of posts on there that isn’t relevant.

    • I bet the rents in Crouch End are higher than in ED so not sure the logic holds up.
