It has been a while since we posted on the East Dulwich Forum, to which I apologise profusely, but we are keen to have any feedback from the great east dulwich community.

We have a few new and exciting things happening here, one of which is a new floor, which might not be much for some, but I am loving it.

Plus, if you want to have a gathering of friends for a fun night out, then we will help you along the way. If you book a table for 10 or more people (10 or more have to arrive on the night) and we will start the celebrations off with a bottle of prosecco or a round of tequila shots.

More things are on the horizon, such as a meet the brewer night with great local breweries. So keep posted and support the little guys that make great brews.

Can we book for less than 10 yet - I've come a few times and never been able to get a table - not prepared to make the trek to places that are too full of themselves to provide proper customer service to have to trek somewhere else when you can't sit down....especially annoying at the flying pig as all the tables are for 4 but filled with couples....

Strange, Cedges... I've never had a problem getting a seat/table.


I love having a place close to home where I can try a wide range of different beers, but would prefer a bigger selection around the ?5 (and below) mark rather than the ?6 mark.. maybe that means having more cask lines at the expense of keg?


Maybe it's time to stop advertising it as a bbq joint too? I know that was the original idea but it's no longer representative of the menu.

I will have a chat with my chefs and we will re-jig our menu so it reflects more of a bbq theme as I am aware that we need to get some of the old gems back on, such as the beef ribs and brisket.


As for the prices of the beer I am doing my best to get the prices down, but these brewers don't like to be cheap.

If either the brisket OR beef ribs are back on I'll be there in a shot!


Beer prices... I understand that small batch craft beer is expensive. But (for reasons I don't fully understand) cask is always a lot cheaper than keg, so maybe if you sacrificed a couple of your keg lines for a couple of extra cask lines, it would seem a bit less wallet busting.

Hi Jeremy,


I will think about getting in a couple more cask lines. The only problem with doing that, is that cask only has a shelf life of 3-7 days once it has been vented. At the minute there is always at least one barrel that goes on the turn half way through the barrel. So if I get more lines in the chance of throwing more beer down the drain hurts me deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep inside. I cannot even bare to think about it.


Hi Mark,


Sounds like you had the unfiltered Camden Pils, it is a lovely brew.

I had my birthday party here last Saturday and it was a really relaxed evening and easy to organise with the venue. The staff were really attentive and they threw in a free bottle of prosecco too. Food was delicious and perfect for sharing amongst a large group of people arriving at different times.

My feedback is... I like the Flying Pig because they usually play good music and are not afraid to play it loud in the front bar area. They've got a decent sound system unlike some of the other pubs in the area. It's nice to sit at the front, have a few decent beers and listen to some good tunes.

Have to say my feedback is the opposite! Went there for a meal and my only complaint was the music was too loud, if you don't want to have a conversation with the person sitting on the same table as you then its fine - its personal preference of course as you have demonstrated

when I was there last a few weeks ago on a Saturday night the music was exactly why we moved on - the music was all from the 80s - Bryan Adams summer of 69 etc - I don't know who was in charge of the music but really.....get yourself a decent DJ or something


yes - and it was too loud.

Sounds like we were there at the same time, was quite an odd mix of music. It was a bit of shame as sitting out on a sunny evening would have been quite nice.

Yeah just for the record when I've been I've not heard cheesy 80's or 90's music! I probably wouldn't have stuck around if it was...


Some of the tunes were a bit cheese but they had quite an eclectic mix... Soul, blues, indie, reggae etc. I've shazam'd some decent artists down there! I don't go that often so maybe it depends on time of day or who's on shift.


I appreciate a lot of people probably don't like it or think it's too loud. I just feel it's the only place that plays music quite loud and on a decent sound system and I like that. Also if you sit further down at the tables it's a lot quieter.


And the beers good too!

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
