ktm Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Just wondering if anyone knows why the Clock House was closed last night? I went zooming past and couldn't read the sign, but noted a skip in the forecourt. Surely this would be a very inopportune time for a refurbishment given its popularity on those sunny summer afternoons...?

citizenED Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 when i passed by earlier today i noticed the skip and the workmen - eating sndwiches and pies out of a sainsbury's placcy bag - something obviously going down but more likely a refurb than anything else. have to disagree with you, spadetownboy, simply for nostaglic reasons, the Clock holds a place in my affections. Is it the most unsung Pub on the Forum?citizen Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/515-clock-house-closed/#findComment-11646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 There's now a sign in the window saying they're closed for refurbishment; I didn't see the opening date but I did see that they'd be re-open "with bells on" (see what they did there...)Nice pub. Bit smokey, but July will change all that. FWIW I like sitting in the front garden area and it's a Young's pub so the ales are decent.: P Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/515-clock-house-closed/#findComment-11651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOfFocus Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 http://www.clockhousepub.com/ says it is reopening on 3-May.Were you to sit on the bench in the back room on the left hand corner you would have realised why a refrub might be a good idea. The bench had a an undulation in it and you ended up sitting on hard bit of wood :(Perhaps we ought to test it out with a forum meet, but I would wait for a few weeks after the reopening.

Tom Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hopefully they will go the same way as the Grove in Balham, which had a face lift and is now superb.Not gastro, just good youngs farm fare and a few good wines / beers Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/515-clock-house-closed/#findComment-12466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
