A very enjoyable evening. Allycat, Floating Onion, Hibbs, Strafer Jack, Georgia, Helbel and Katie1812.


Helbel was a welcome first timer and Katie dragged herself here from deepest Norfolk, so was able to attend her memorial meeting.


We met in The Draft House, an enjoyable experience, some interesting Belgium beers available and an American Ale is promised. Nice ambience although some still regret the loss of the Black Cherry. There was some debate as to whether the prices were a tad high or not. I cant help thinking free WIFI would help boost their daytime trade. The menu looked interesting and there were a number of people eating.


On to the Surma. There was only one table of diners when we arrived and so we were it for most of the evening. The food was nice. My Onion Bhajis were crispy and tasty, although the portion was if anything a little large. I had a good Chicken Madras with a Brinjal side dish but couldnt finish it. The remainder was boxed up and taken home.


Service seemed rather slow, given that we were the only people in there. Plenty of food and drink was consumed for ?25 each including a tip.


Five of us wobbled over to the Bishop for digestifs.


Others may wish to comment about their choices at the Surma.


Looks like 15/5 for the next meeting. Venue TBC.

Onion bhajiis were nice and crispy, chicken rezalla had good flavour, nicely spiced and the tandoori roti was delicious. Service was pleasant but the food did seem to take a while arriving to the table between courses, making it a later eve than expected. Great company and conversation though!


Tried to break away from the Cobra/Kingfishers and opted for Mongoose instead ('for those in the know'...apparently) which went well with my curry. Brewed in Bedford though...


Good eve and made it safely back to Peckham eventually. Cheers all.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks, it was great to meet you all!

Enjoyed the curry - sorry for accidentally digging into yours too Hibbs!

Prawn and potato balls (!) were fab and I liked the amount of fresh green chillies in my rezalla - yep, am definitely a chill head!

Hope to come along on May 15 with my +1

Cheers! (tu)

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By DGM-1986 · Posted

      Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour.

      Franklins is being sold

      By Jah Lush · Posted

      Was a regular haunt of mine for many years and had a lot of fun times in there and some marvellous food down the years. Though, admittedly I spent most of my time in there doing some serious boozing. In recent times I've been a less frequent visitor to this fine establishment. I seriously hope it doesn't change too much. It's always had a good vibe in there and that's down to Tim and Rod and all of the staff who have worked there over the past 26 years.

      Parade Art Services - Picture hanging & art installation

      By Charlie15 · Posted

      Tom came round today and did a very good job advising on picture and mirror placements, and hanging several pieces. Will definitely ask him back to do a few more once we have them framed.
