Ted Max Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The closing of the Oglander is buried in the Forum folk memory. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,15149,page=1I see a Keef posting there, but strangely have no memory of him. Can't picture him at all. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37874-the-patch/page/19/#findComment-708553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know loads of pubs don't make it, but most are taken over by another pub rather than closed down completely.

StraferJack Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Heaton arms in Peckham. Very much flats these days(Was it called that?

Otta Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Yes that was The Heaton Arms.Which reminds me, what was The Nags Head before it was the Nags Head (which I think happened late 90s). Was trying to remember the other day. An old mate of my dad's who is no longer with us used to drink in there and I remember going to meet him in there occasionally in my late teens.

???? Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Windmill was on Wyndham Road - that went years ago (early 90s?) to be honest. You're to young and I am too old - The Cod/OT and Windmill probably all went before 2000 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37874-the-patch/page/19/#findComment-708636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Mac Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 But there have also been non pub premises turned into pubs, although not many. Eg the Draft House space was a greengrocer originally and on the other side of the road was Boho a new licensed premises, cant remember?Not that either have flourished exactly. Also ToastED is now a licensed premises and when I arrived it was a sandwich bar type place. So..... lots of places where people are drinking - just not pubs.

I used to have an account there.And ToastEd went through several incarnations before Green and Blue, including a brief period as a strange sort of bistro with red checked tablecloths, which never looked very inviting really.

Would rather the pub side improved. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/37874-the-patch/page/19/#findComment-708710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And echoing the comment of another poster aside from the ?16 breakfastThe rest of the prices on the menu are no more than Franklins which is also a favourite of ours.I really want this place to succeed, mainly because its great to have a local restaurant option which isn't just another Indian restaurant or chain eatery.I think locals should be chuffed that new businesses chose to invest in our area rather than the likes of Clapham or Tooting.Rather than just morning the loss of another mediocre drinking place.

loobylou Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I haven't posted very much but have been watching this. I've eaten there twice now and the food was excellent, I reckon probably better than the Palmerston. Please at least try The Patch before you judge it. I understand that the beer selection is now larger (but I don't drink beer so can't comment on the quality).

unlurked Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 The place seems impossibly popular all of a sudden on here. Shame that doesn't translate to a busy bar/restaurant! Think Sue was right-shoudn't this be in the Business section?
