Need to find a classic south london 'boozer', any ideas?


Recommended Posts

Help...


Ok, i need the combined experience and discerning tastes of the whole East Dulwich forum team to help me out with this one;


Can somebody help me find a traditional south london pub?


Doesn't have to be Dulwich based, (which could be rather tricky these days!)


No re-furbed gastro pubs allowed.


Must be as i described. Needs 'character', old style architecture, good range of beverages, and, well that boozer 'x-factor' that seems to be disappearing.


The place i'm after doesn't have to be chocolate box pretty, or tourist friendly, it could even be described as 'manky' in the right light.


It just needs to be real.


(Oh, and i'll happily say why i'm after such a place if i get enough help with this!)


Looking forward to your suggestions.

That's pretty helpful, thanks for your thoughts...

Remember the resident weekend Group thru' the 1970's/Early 1980's at The Beckett?


Blunderbuss or Laurie and Co, Pcg?

So why're you after such a place, PB?

My god red devil, I was invited to a 30th birthday party there 3 years ago . I went along thinking 'give people a chance' What a Chav Hole! Most uncomfortable. As soon as i walked in the women tried to 'stare me out' ready for a fight . Have to add , i sacked the 'friend' after that

It's definitely 'a rites of passage' type establishment Daizie, the last time I went there was the night of the Soho nail bomb, I was with some workmates on a stag do at Wimbledon dogs, afterwards we planned to go up to Soho, but because of the bomb we decided not to, and I suggested the Queen Anne as an alternative, I'm still having therapy for the 'mother and daughter' act I witnessed that night...

    • £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.
    • No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
    • Welcome back. What have voting intentions got to do with this thread? And much as you may hate the present incarnation of so-called Labour, as do I,  I don't think it is true that they have "not done a single positive thing for working class people", is it? And how exactly are you defining "working class people", anyway? 
    • I can’t bear the media “is this racist comment racist” angle taken to reporting it. I feel like she’s a useful out rider for Farage to test how far they can take their rhetoric - it’s not the first time she’s said things that cross over the line. Overt racism is becoming far more commonplace and it’s deeply concerning.
