Not all jazz is the same, you know - and there are good and bad musicians in every genre :)

Why the no real ale in bold above? Their website says the following:


"Beer, we?ve got beer. Twenty taps to choose from. Will that do you? An amazing 12 taps are devoted to craft beer, including 8 on rotation. These will be split equally between local breweries and the best that the global scene has to offer. The huge range of craft cans and bottles will be available to take away at a discounted price. There?ll also be six hand pull pumps for cask ales and cider, again serving a constantly rotating selection."

Very much looking forward to trying the WGT out.

They have a tap wall full of ales and craft beer. A proper chef, decent garden and music. Finally, a company running the FHT that knows what it's doing. Oh glory be. I wish them every success. I'll be in very soon to sample its delights.

I went in tonight. Can confirm there were several cask ales. As well as a handful of regular lagers, and a plethora of crafts.


Not sure I like it though. It's a bit "showy" for my tastes. There was a band playing bad jazz and generic 12 bar blues, and I actually wanted to kill them. Food was quite expensive (?13 burger and chips). They were operating a "one in one out" queue, even though it wasn't that packed. Lots of bouncers.

I assume the one in one out policy was to stop the place getting too busy on first night to give the bar staff a chance.


Bouncers will probably be there for first few weeks to keep the customers form the orders incarnations of the pub selling their supplementary stimulants


I can't wait to try it, it's my nearest pub and I really like the old nuns head so hope it's similar

I'm so pleased someone has taken on this pub and is making a real effort. I haven't been in yet, so can only pass judgement on the outside. However, I am a designer (graphics, and interiors) and I'm afraid I'm really not keen on the logo. Before this went up everything was looking great. I love the simple white capital lettering with the black background, but when I walked past yesterday and saw the rather large 'Adventure bar' style WGT signage, I was very, very saddened.


Please, please, please, to all the people out there in the process of creating a frontage for your premises, please consider this extremely carefully. It can make or break a business.


To the owners of Watson's General Telegraph, is there any way you will reconsider? Everything else appears to look (well through the window and on your website anyway) really stylish and I'm really excited about popping in!

Yes you are probably right.


I was quite impressed that they'd managed to get it busy on the first night... quite a few young (compared to me) people. Lots of made-up girls obviously on a "night out" rather than just a quick drink in the local. They must have a good social media guy on their team!


My beer-fuelled post last night was a little harsh. There is plenty to like about it, including the great beer selection, and large covered garden area (with fire pits) for the smokers. Food does look good (if a bit pricey). It might not be to my tastes... but they clearly know what they're doing.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
