There's a few people on here HMB who probably went up on the soft opening night to 'be seen' sat in the front garden. Thinking about it, half of those people requesting to 'eat their food out the front cos it's a nice day', more than likely just wanted to 'be seen' attending the long awaited reopening yada yada. All the predictable suspects, wanting to spend 20 quid on a basic meal so that people can stare at them. Don't get me stared.

Sadly Lou, this place just doesn't have that cache.


I think they sat staring at each other, and I swear as I passed a woman mouthed "H E L P !" at me.

I'm in two minds, in a way its a shame that it didn't get a recognisable facelift, but many will like that it retained the old character.


I thought the Irish bar manager from the Plough was taking over? If so I'd suggest he will get his staff in order and all will be fine in due course.


The food will just be the food you'd expect from MB unfortunately.

Had a meal on Saturday as part of the soft launch. Glad it was 50% off as it was pretty uninspiring stuff. Dry sourdough and asian style chicken wings for starters. They were out of steaks so guinea fowl for mains which was ok but salty and portion size not worth the full ?17. Sticky toffee pudding for desert was fine.


Service was very chaotic but I'm sure this will improve. Men's toilet had a burst tap and the whole floor was flooded. There were also problems with the card machines which meant that dinners had to quick up at the busy bar to pay for dinner.


Won't be eating here again, but a good pub for drinking.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
