Catalyst

Why does anyone care what happens in Canada (population 36 million)? It's already legal for recreational use in 9 US states including California which by itself is a larger population.

One of the many reasons I love Stormbird.

Beckett would have loved this.

Yes I've been twice.I don't see how saying I'm not that into the latest street food trend being repackaged as a semi-formal dining concept is slagging off a business. I'll just keep going to their tapas place instead which I happen do like.

I don't get this bao trend. Sure, would work great as a snack in a cafe or a bar but it's not the sort of thing that lends itself to a formal'ish dining experience. Much prefer their tapas place.

Same here. I've always really liked it.

Went in over the Christmas. Place stank of fried food so walked straight out again. Typical loud, soulless gastropub from what I could see. Will try it again but really didn't see what the fuss is all about.

You and your mates must have been particularly strong willed. However I still wouldn't advocate it's return as I saw adults go over the line too many times.

There are various pubs out there that don't allow kids at any time because of old licensing conditions that have passed down through the years. Craft Beer Co in Brixton is one.

Three years this thread has been going now. Talk about glacial.

Agreed but it does need to be managed closely. The Regent's Canal in the east end being a good example where it hasn't been and there have been loads of accidents and confrontations as a result.

They're not offensive but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Personally I think Camberwell does pubs a lot better whether it be gastro (Crooked Well, Camberwell Arms), old skool career alky (Hermit's Cave), beer nerd (Stormbird).

Another cookie cutter pubco boozer. Does anything that's not a chain ever open in ED these days?

Same here. I've been hemorrhaging friends and acquaintances over the last 2-3 years. These aren't the "not really cut out for London" types either. None of them wanted to leave. They just couldn't afford to stay and build any kind of secure future. Age range being around mid 30's.

Even though they're in different boroughs Telegraph Hill and Nunhead are basically the same neighborhood. If anything East Dulwich feels much further removed being on the other side of the park.
