Grand Union ? Used to be the Grove

Hey look I?m starting a thread and it may even be of some interest people.


Did you know that the Grove on Camberwell Grove has been taken over by the Grand Union chain of pubs? I certainly didn?t until yesterday afternoon when I walked past and went in for lunch.


There is a Grand Union in Brixton on Acre Lane where the Hope and Anchor used to be. I went in there a few times in the summer to meet friends after skating. The food and selection of Youngs beers is good but because of it?s proximity to fuck %ham it was always beset with hordes of estate agents and marketing managers* being generally rude and trying but failing to look cool in their weekend clobber.


Anyway the one in Camberwell is decorated the same as their other places, sort of your nan?s front room meets a baroque cathedral. Chicks tend to dig that sort of thing. It also has the same menu, basically just hamburgers of all descriptions.


Like I said I had lunch there yesterday and it was one of the best hamburgers I?ve had in a while. This alone makes it worth a visit because a pub that consistently makes decent hamburgers is hard to find around here.


I didn?t have any beer as it was the middle of the day but the diet cola seemed to be well kept and was served at the appropriate temperature.


*Leave my prejudices alone. They?re endearing.

      Don't Own a Dog if you Can't Pickup their Crap

      By SalmonKing · Posted

      Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on?

      Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.

      Spay/Neuter Your Cats!

      By TWB Cat Sitter · Posted

      Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
