But do they have Fullers Walnut cake?


My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Used to be occasionally taken to Lyons in Streatham in the sixties ..... erm, possibly fifties ......

Probably Fifties..Sue :) There were 2 in Rye Lane. One oposite Primarks one on the right

just before the station (coming from Dulwich)


I was always fasinated by the little heated cubicals with bowls of chips and other food in that were filled

from one side and collected the other side.


And the 'Nippys' were always nice to me when I about 5-6 . Such a sweet child I was. lol.

The Rose is an Enterprise Inns pub. Not sure how the people at the Rye will be running it if that is a Capital pub.

However, due to changes in legislation regarding tied pubs, Enterprise are selling some of their pubs and taking back others and managing them themselves or by proxies. The Signal in Forest Hill,formerly the Hob, an Enterprise pub, is now managed by Hippo Inns.

Brilliant. That would really turn the pub around :)

I would have thought the new owners/tenants would want the pub open for Christmas, New Year, as this is probably the busiest and most profitable time of the year. Eight Weeks, they must be doing a fairly big refurbishment.

Pity, I was hoping it would be open for Christmas, as it is the nearest pub to home.

Sidhue, I agree with you completely with regards to the audio message regarding the "Forest Hill Tavern"

Why anyone who is running a business and getting free advertising from TFL for the pub should change the name does seem to be rather unwise.

The only TFL audio that needs to change is FREE Ern road not FRY Ern.

On the P13 the announcement for Underhill/Belvoir Road is always "Bell-voir" Road not "Beaver" Road (which is how I was taught Belvoir is pronounced - at least that's how you say the place/stately home in Leicestershire).


Seems like a missed opportunity to me.

      Christmas Cheese!

      By pikeyed · Posted

      Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!

      I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.

      William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
