Is that all? Shame.


The Clockhouse keeps getting little face lifts, but never really changes much. It's a pub that I've just never really taken to over the years, and I can't really put my finger on why.

Well, that is strange. I had an email from the Clockhouse with an offer on dining with wine that runs through Jan until 21st Feb??? The link takes you to the Youngs website which then goes on to say that the Clockhouse is taking part in the promotion????


http://www.youngs.co.uk/dinewithwine-jan-2013.asp

The Clock House is undergoing a big refurb. The toilets at the back will be moved to an upstairs (that doesn't exist as yet) and an open kitchen is going to be created at the back turning it into a far more serious dining/ gastro pub. So it is a serious refurb. Time will tell if it pays off (competition is pretty stiff already for eating out locally). My poker night moved to the Herne as a result (but it's a move that was for the better).


Helen I had the same email and printed the same said vouchers.....but it's a promotion that youngs run several times a year so there'll be other opportunities to take it up.

I agree regarding Youngs. I think they've had completely the wrong business model for the Clock House for a while. It used to be reknown for food and rammed most weekends (was my fav local for years) but has died a slow and painful death for a while now.

Ditto peoples comments on clock house


The Dulwich wood house is also youngs. It also had a major refurb (18 months ago?).

It's got to be one of the worst run pubs I've ever been in - awful. Cr*p, overpriced food, ALWAYS Understaffed ( and badly staffed)


Youngs need to work out that some farow&ball paint and a glossy menu doesnt make for a good boozer

    • What is the phone number ., can you get recorded or registered service?
    • Apologies if this has already been mentioned as it's a very long thread. While it would be a great shame if post offices closed down for people that need them, is everyone aware of this service? I didn't know about it until this week. https://send.royalmail.com/ I had to send a small package and it was difficult for me to leave the house so i ordered online for the item to be picked up - it was £3.35 for a small package so i don't think significantly pricier than if I'd done it over the PO counter. And it was totally seamless, I didn't even have to print a label they bring one to your door to stick on when they collect the package. Highly recommended.
    • Not sure if this is exactly nature, but does anyone else have Holboellia in their garden? It's an absolute thug of an evergreen climber, and it seems to grow at about a metre a minute in all directions,  but it redeems itself at this time of year when it's flowering. The scent is absolutely wonderful, even with just a few flowers presently out, and I can even smell it inside the house. Apologies to anyone whose garden mine  has wandered into, but do take a moment to appreciate the scent before you cut it back! ETA: I have a zillion things to do, but I'm sitting in the garden watching the insects.  One very small hovering thing with apparently no brain (or whatever passes for a brain in insects) just flew to my Libertia, attempted to do something with a load of unopened buds, failed, moved to a just beginning to open bud, failed, and then flew off,  completely ignoring all the open flowers on the same plant. Maybe it's a reincarnation of someone like Trump.
    • I know that for some people, particularly those with small children (and possibly also those with mobility issues) the convenience of having a surgery within a very short walking distance outweighs any other considerations. Also, there is parking available near DMC for those living further away. I guess it is a matter of weighing up pros and cons. Plus, familiarity is important to some, and also many people don't realise how easy it is to change surgeries. Btw none of the above is supposed to imply that pressure shouldn't be put on DMC to improve.  Though maybe a load of their patients moving elsewhere might help focus their minds!
