whats the point of closing a pub on a monday night or any other night for that matter. reminds me of when i first crossed the water i was living in a place called locksbottom in kent and decided to pop out for a swift half only to be told by the landlady at 1455hrs to make it a swift one as they closed in 5 mins,took me a while to get over that one, i thought the days of pubs closing during the day were long gone,obviously not.
Having read good reports on Hoopers on this forum I was looking forward to visiting them - unfortunately the first time I went on a Thursday afternoon they were closed (don't open till 5.30 or so) and last Saturday when I went at about twenty to six in the evening there was only one person in the place, and he was standing behind the bar, so I gave it a miss. I hope I'm wrong but my current impression is that there isn't much future for Hoopers.
Mr/ Mrs Hoopers - if you are reading this - I like what you've done and hope there is a future for you. Why don't you paint the outside, though, after Brad did such a good, sensitive job on the interior? And you could give the day-glo sheets of paper tacked in the window a miss too. It looks a bit... temporary... if you know what I mean.

They do ales. Usually a Harvey's plus a couple of guests. Have always been good quality in my experience.

Nice selection of unusual bottled belgians, porters etc too.


As I've said a couple of times, I for one am glad of a proper pub nearby (in greater East Dulwich*) but it's off the beaten track and needs a good pool of regulars to make it work.


Jamie's and his lady are new to this game from what he's said and it'll be a very steep learning curve. I wish him all the best.


*Alan, if you missed it you'll enjoy this.

    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.  
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
