Ale in the bishop/actress

Related but not strictly bishop issue. Ignorance on part of the bar staff is also the problem, In order to get a decent pint it must be pulled in big drafts to create a head, this settles to add flavour, most pubs draw it in small tugs and measure it to the half/ pint line if you're have a light ale mix, not only is this tight fisted, it leaves a flat tasteless pint, they should always serve over the half way mark to ensure a head and happy customer! It's a false economy to eek out a meagre serving as said previously the stuff goes off.

Try the Dulwich Woodhouse, new management served me a 1st class real ale, Mines a Ram and Special!!

Any pub that cannot even get the Lager right is going to struggle with any real ale.


The Bishop simply does not sell enough ale so if you go there in the evening, the first

pint is likely to of been in the pipe all day.


The Bishop is only interested in selling bottled beers and Jaeger-Bombs.


The EDT sells a lot of real ale so there is a constant flow through the pipes.

Sounds like they are not keeping it properly and maybe not cleaning the lines regularly. Also some of the craft beers from small brewers will have a limited shelf life. If they stock local beer i'm sure one of the brewers would be happy to explain to the staff how to keep and serve it, no producer wants customers to think their stock is poor because it has been kept or served badly.


Proper beer, like all decent food and drink, needs to be served by someone who knows how to treat it. If you keep real ale badly then it will show.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
