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.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
