As siddll implies, young Rodney's not getting any younger.

lizzie Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 One thing that no-one has mentioned is that the Mag were cool about kids. My son's 15 and I've been taking him there for about 3 years to watch football matches. So long as the kids were quietish no-one ever minded. He knew John and the bar staff and I personally think taking kids into pubs like that demystifies the whole experience and will prevent them turning into raging binge drinkers. The CPT doesn't even allow kids outside on the terrace which is ridiculous. The Castle really is too much of a boozer and the Plough is sterile and lacks any atmosphere - and it keeps to old fashioned opening hours. Ye gods, where is a girl to get a drink at 1am in the morning without walking down Lordship Lane? And yes the Mag had its unsavoury moments but it's my local and I feel really sad that it's temporarily gone and just hope it doesn't change too much.

Keef Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I too have heard the rumour that Rose from G&F is involved. Good luck to them. Hope the "girly" thing is nonsense though, sounds horrific!

There's a new sign saying 'kids welcome' in big letters, and they've started doing barbecues on Saturday lunchtimes.

The Palmerston Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 For anyone that needs their Quiz fix. The Magdala quiz is moving to The Herne Tavern starting from Sunday the 10th of August at 7:30.Pietro Herrera is still hosting and running the show, there will still be the large card game similar to 'Play your cards right' and we hope to see the regulars there with some newcomers joining in.I'll start a new thread to discuss the quiz itself.Will (The Palmerston & The Herne) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3608-magdala-changing-ownership/page/4/#findComment-117510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siduhe Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 They were painting the exterior when I drove past a few minutes ago. Goodbye bright yellow, hello a kind of mushroomy, truffle grey colour...very ED I suppose (or maybe it's an undercoat?)

Sonners Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I much preferred the yellow than any of the boring grey testers they have put on.And it was always handy to be able to say to a cabbie,"left by the yellow pub please".Sigh.

The Palmerston Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm pretty sure that it's not an All Bar One, it's hardly the type of prime location they tend to look for. I have heard through the rumour mill that they will continue to serve pizzas. This is purely a rumour of course and I have no facts.

I just find it so annoying that for the last few years, some really lovely people (okay yes they are my friends) have worked there, and had to enforce this stupid nonsense even though they never wanted to. Then the owner turns to them and says she could make the place a better earner than they had, and finally spends a couple of pounds on the place, and takes away that sign, and does something like a BBQ. All stuff they'd been suggesting for ages!!! Grr.Good luck to the new staff there who seem very nice, but I really just want to say that the previous staff did their best there with no support!Aaaaanyway, with regards the Mag, it would be great if they started a bit of live music, although I suspect the neighbours would disagree!
