I was in a Beefeater recently (the decision was out of my hands). TBH it's not cheap - surprised you didn't consider it to be a poncey rip-off joint. Needless to say, the food is abysmal.

We're getting dangerously close to 'soup in a bread/loaf bowl' thingy


Where's Bob Blubber when you need him


Mind you all this is old hat. They do chicken with fried potato sticks in a box, near to wher I live. Yeah, no knife of fork, just eat from the box and when you're finished, chuck the box on the floor.


It's amazing, there's a round 'cheese on toast' version with the same concept. It's not quite so popular in that when you order it you have to speak, rather than just point and grunt

I remember back in the early 80's The Plough doing Sausage(s) & Chips in the Basket..

Plastic mock wicker basket to stop the vingar running through..


2 Sausages and Chips ?1.20 ish if I remember correctly. sounds expensive for 1980

I was in the Communion Bar on Camberwell Church Road early on Saturday night. I ordered a bottled beer and was offered a fecking jam jar to drink it out of. I mean, really. A jam jar. Do I look like an idiot? Don't answer that. I asked for a the correct drinking vessel to drink it out of and got the glass I should been offered in the first place. A jam jar... so bloody wrong.


Later I nipped over the road to The Hermits Cave (a proper pub) and drank lovely beer out of a straight glass. Some lovely cider too. It's good in there.


Cheese is for chopping boards. Nothing else.

Miss the Hermits, was my local for years. Go teary eyed when I pass it on the 12

There are some especially amusing ironic drinking vessels to be had in Pedler, if you like that sort of thing.


A jam jar - which manages 'the double' of being both unpleasant to hold and to drink out of - offers nothing to the experience of having a drink.. with the added bonus of making you look like a tit.

The cool kids love this stuff though. Or do the 'right on' establishments just like to offer vessels smaller than a standard pint glass so as to sell less for more (in a cool glass obvs). I will have to stop typing on here as it's making me go quite 'road rage' for a totally disproportionate matter.

-and refreshment-suitable. Hartleys for a stout, supermarket jam for lager, Bonne Maman for craft beer and Roses Lime for a whisky and splash.


Maybe pickled eggs in retro egg cups, crackling in a toast rack and refills via a four pint teapot.


Breakfast of champions.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
