yes another micthells and butler deep freeze to micro portion controlled load of WANK !
shame as a nice space - did they get the designers to mimmick all the other pub styles in the area - certainly looks that way !
serve real home made food and it MIGHT work once people have got their confidence back in the food.
the ever present sign for a 'chef required' says it all really

What is happening? Are pubco's really that bad that they run out of beer? The fifth time in various suposedly decent pubs in the last year and a bit. OK so they make their money on food, but is that any excuse, particularly a place such as this that promotes real ale, to have none?
Went as part of the Dulwich festival. Not been there for years, certainly not when the Goose and Granite. So a gastro makeover, not a surprise, and not totally ruined. But poor service and, did I say already, no ale. Cask marque - my bottom.
Onto the former pub, now restaurant, known as the Herne. You will see a theme!

Very Very Very BAD!!!!
Went to The Plough today for a nice sunday lunch and a few drinks. As soon as we got there the place looked nice and had comfy seating area for food.
Went to the Bar to order drinks and food, service was very slow and non polite. Was told there was a 30 minute wait for food, in the end it ended up being an Hour, then the road was burnt, veg under cooked (SOLID), and the gravy was cold. then after we had ate the main we decided to have a desert, so we went to the bar and was told we were unable to order desert for another 30 mins as they have temp closed the kitchen of orders, so after 30 mins we asked again, then 45 mins then was told they wasnt going todo desert for the rest of the day,
I found this place to be a complete disaster and wouldnt go back again, Dulwich is a nice place and im sure there are so many places that are better than this.
DO NOT GO!!!!

I wish I had been afforded some courtesy by the staff! We visited yesterday, looking forward to a nice meal as the pub had been recommended to us. I ordered a pint of Addlestones which is my favourite and I always drink in other pubs. It didn't taste very nice, so my husband asked whether we could change it. The barmaid got irate, raised her voice and said noone else had complained and she could give us a 'free' half of something else. She was really rude!

As a new Mum, I discovered this pub courtesy of the mother and baby group which takes place there every friday. And Ive been back again and again since. Its a cracker. The staff are amongst the best Ive ever known a pub to have. Each and every one of them has a good sense of humour and a courteous manner. The beer and wine selection is also good. My only criticism would be the food. We were served very over cooked wedges, but when complained these were replaced quickly and without a fuss. My mates soup was also a bit runny. And when you advertise a ham sandwich you dont expect it to be over cooked ham off the bone...
Aside from that this is the best pub in the area at the moment. Specially if you have kids. Your made to feel really welcome rather than endured like most of the other pubs in the area.

Visited yesterday - it's great. Lovely fish and chips too. :)

The Plough has had a complete refurbishment and is now a really decent pub. Very nice interior and always a good range of bitters. I have not tied the food, but a friend has told me it is excellent. Every time I have been in, the staff have been very friendly.
This pub used to be rather rough (both decor and clientele) and it now seems to be pub of quality. I recommend it.
|
We have had a few problems with ex-staff being vindictive and posting comments on this site, please come along and make your own mind up.
There is live music every weekend, baby clubs, wine tastings, weekly quiz and lots more.
The photo and phone number on this site are out of date, it has been completely refurbished and the new phone number is 020 8693 4236.

the plough in dulwich has that pub not got a serious rat problem do not know about eating there dodgy.and that manager eddie always seems really incompetent cant see it lasting long. 3/10.
|
this is not a good pub it is poorly managed and the staff are too slow.one of the managers mark apparently assulted another member of staff.and was taken away by the police this happened recently i would not reccomend this pub .2 out of 10.
|
This is a truly remarkable place, it really is. Where can I begin? Firstly, the food! For a start it is served on REAL plates and not those fake 'hetties' you get in other bars, and the food is warm not cold. The drinks here are possibly the finest example of drinks anywhere ever. The staff are GODS. And the decor...absolutely unbelievable! This place just has to be visited, it is truly wonderful. I shall DEFINITELY be recommending this place the relevant people.
|
very nice bar indeed
|
8 might be pushing it but 7 seems stingy for this pub since the revamp
Love the new layout - so much space, and the best (by some distance) range of lager and cider (with some good ale too) anywhere round here
Good smoking section outside too

Changed? OK I'll give it to you that they've got better beers and they've replaced the seat covers on the chairs, but you've got to admit, Lawrence
Llewelyn-Bowen needs to pay it a visit.

As a guy who only lives 10 minutes away, I have to say that its not on my choice of pubs.
The only reason people I know who drink there, do it becouse Carling is only £1.60 a pint!.
As a beer drinker, I have to say that there is not a real Ale in the place, apart from Nitro Based Cream Flow Beer? But I suppose some do call that beer!
I went there a few weeks a go for a Guinness, I must admit it was Good. But not much cheaper than any over pub in the area.(£2.40 a pint)
Seems to me that unless you want to go to a pub with a large number of retired and immature men, to watch football, and Gazzling Larger back. Your better saving the pennies and jumping on a bus, and going to a decent pub were there is woman ?

Gone a bit downhill since the blonde barman left about 5 months ago.

I would not go in. It is so unattractive from the outside. The managers are obviously pikey louts who don't care that their car park is a tip, that the outside walls are full of grafitti and that the whole place oozes nastiness and slobbishness.
