I spoke to the manager who said the man that was shot had nothing to do with the pub. Must say that this could have happened anywhere nowadays.
Dosen't seem fair to me to blame it on the pub. As regards 1,000 times less likely to be shot down at the Herne, have you seen some of their customers lately? They seem to have inherited the old Forest Hill lot, and I don't mean the good ones.

I heard that the doormen looked after the victim and made sure he got to hospital where he was making a good recovery, they couldn't do more than that.

This is still one of the best places to watch sport. Have always felt safe and comfortable there since the refurb.

This pub seems to be getting a name for itself, for all the wrong reasons... A man was shot in the leg outside the pub last Friday. Other pubs in East Dulwich are available. Try the Herne down the road where you'll be a 1,000 times less likely to be shot.

Oh dear. A a reported shooting. www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,156321,168032

Others can confirm this story but can't imagine it was fabricated.

Its just a good allrounder. Does it have to be just one thing? Can't it appeal to different people?
Never claimed to be a gastro pub, just a pub that serves food, a nice place to watch sport, and a good Friday nigh music venue. I would have though it has the best of all worlds. I am one of the locals who still drinks here, if you stayed around, you would see that there are still some of us about.
