I recently had their ploughmans which I really enjoyed. So I had it again and it wasn?t that great the second time. Perhaps I should have waited a day or so.


I also think it was a little expensive or maybe not. Anyway I left feeling a little annoyed about something but it could have just been an uncomfortable chair or an ingrown toenail.


Anyway the ploughmans comes with 2 thick greasy slices of pork which I liked and some cheese and pickle and bread and celery and an apple and I?m just rambling now so I?ll get back to work.

I ate in the Plough for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was early on the Thursday evening - not too many punters and just prior to the Quiz. Atmosphere pleasant, food very nice indeed. Mrs C had bangers and mash - well, poshed-up sausages and mash-ed po-tatoes more like, and I had a vegetarian Lasagne thingy. We even had puds. Not too pricey. All in all a decent experience, but there again I don't get out all that much and am nowhere near as discerning as some of the epicurians on this forum.

MW74 - glad to report no sign of undesirables.


PS why is it that restaurants often seem to serve smaller portions for vegetarians? Mrs C's bangers and mash was large (she didn't polish it off) whereas my veggie dish was like a starter. Kept waiting for them to bring out a huge steaming plate of rice or something whilst all the time knowing it wasn't coming. You'd think they would realise that veg's are not as filling as meat and that they are cheaper. wish that they would cater for bl**dy ravenous vegetarians like me.

I?ve never understood why vegetarian options have to be a ?second class? choice on menus, always a meat dish with something like tofu to replace meat. There are plenty of dishes out there that are vegetarian by their very nature and can just be part of the menu, aimed at all the punters not just the veggies. I?m an avid meat eater but don?t feel that every meal I eat has to be based around meat in order to somehow qualify it as a ?proper? meal. A vegetable lasagna has just as much to recommend it as a half chicken IMO.


Veering wildly off topic there but this is lounged anyway.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By shazza76 · Posted

      Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!

      Be careful on the pavements...

      Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
