I have recently joined a local Sunday morning football team. Being of great age and declining years and not as fit as I once was, the coach said that I could play for the first half but he would pull me off at half-time. "Bloody hell" I thought, we only used to get an orange with the last team I played for.

Hi all, Thanks for the info and the warm welcome. There are a few places there for me to try out and report back on. I did read in the Southwark News that the old nuns head does a good sunday dinner. The Wood House I think is a Young's pub. I do like Young's & Fullers beers, must be the Thames water that they put in for extra flavor, being a Greenwich boy it runs through my veins. On a darker note, back in April, Harriet Harman was criticised for walking around Peckham with a police escort and wearing a stab vest... http://200weeks.police999.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/harman67.jpg In your honest opinion, are there any pubs in ED that I should avoid or have to watch my back in? are there any pubs that you definitely wouldn't recommend? I am off work today and may take my constitutional walk up through the village and Dulwich woods to the Woodhouse for lunch. I look forward to seeing your comments. Toodle pip... Oz.

Hi all, I am new to the forum and quite new to the ED area. I am originally from Greenwich and my fave drinking holes were along the river, The Trafalgar Tavern and The Cutty Sark in particular. I like to have a big old open fire roaring in the winter and a nice outdoor area in the summer, good selection of real ales, good food & wine and friendly, open, easy to talk to people. What does the forum think about the qualities needed to make you want to go back to a pub regularly? can you recommend any pubs that have the qualities that I have mentioned above? I have tried the food in the Palmerston and can recommend the Ribeye steak. Best regards to you all and I look forward to your replies. Oz.
