Dear Alpha
You seem to have made the same mistake as DoubleDutch or whatever he called himself (I can't even be arsed to scroll up and check).
The Pubquizmaster is a long time drinker in the Wheatsheaf and has produced a Pub Quiz there for a period of roughly 16 months .
I (the pubquizmaster) am NOT an owner, part-owner or even employee of the "gaff" - a phrase beloved of mockneys and other pretentious types.
I am pleased you were "impressed" by my "huge range of positive adjectives" (did you really think I was going to use negative ones ?)but what about those superbly inventive adverbs ?
Since you clearly have an aversion to the Wheatsheaf, why, one wonders, do you wish to "come a- drinking" there again anyway ?
Whatever, you will be welcome to a free pint if you turn up this Sunday - the money will come straight out of my own pocket...but I should say the the fact your mum lives next to Steve Chalmers doesn't actually prove you are a Celitic fan now does it
PS Are/were you stationed at sme place as DoubleTrouble ?

Hi All
The Wheatsheaf is holding a party night this Saturday (September 23rd)!
The main attraction will be a fabulous female jazz singer and there will also be other entertainment, a brilliantly eclectic range of delicious food (cooked by Celine and Miguel) and plenty of drink (well, it is a pub) including an excellent selection of wines and beers served by Nick, Saul, Patricia and Tom.
The pub will open as normal at 12 midday and closing time will be 1am (as it is every Friday and Saturday).
There is also a secluded patio for those who wish to enjoy the last of the recent "Indian" summer, and those who want to enjoy a smoke-free atmosphere can drink or dine in the restaurant area.
As if your week-end couldn't get any better...I am pleased to announce that the famous Wheatsheaf Pub Quiz is starting again !
It will take place on Sunday 24th September and, while the original format will be the same, the prizes will be different and there will be a more international flavour to the rounds. There will be an emphasis on food and drink...but don't worry sports fans, I can twist a foodie question into one about footie at the drop of a hat !
Anyway folks, do come and enjoy the atmosphere of one of the finest and oldest established public houses in South London.
Oh...and if you come in on Sunday and you can prove you are a Celtic fan, I will buy you a drink !

Whilst I agree that people are entitled to share their opinions about the merits or demerits of the Wheatsheaf and its pub quiz, and whilst I also wish to avoid being drawn into an on-line slagging match, I feel I must point out that DeptfordDutch is factually incorrect on at least two counts (see posting on 24 Aug 2006).
First of all he clearly implies that the pubquizmaster, wrote the 3 previous posiive reviews about the quiz.
I did not - neither did I have any prior knowledge of them. They were written by three different customers, entirely of their own volition.
Secondly, his assertion that the "other bar" was "always packed on the quiz night" is, to say the least, misleading. If the "other bar" was packed then it was generally the case that both bars were packed.
OK Enough of that.
As I said in the previous posting the pub quiz will be starting again in the next few weeks.
The refurbishment of the pub is now complete.
The pool bar is now a no-smoking restaurant area with bigger floorspace than before. It has an intimate atmospehere, especially in the evenings.
The main bar is decorated with the same Oxford Blue and off-white walls and the restored wooden floor has come up beautifully (as has the floor in the other bar) and the furniture is of the mixed wooden variety - old church seats and so on.
Now to the food ( a subject of some debate ). The quality is high - on a par with Sandra's, although since the dishes on offer are quite different, direct comparisons are maybe a bit irrelevant.
The range of beers is good and they are well looked after and there is now a large wine list to choose from.
One of the changes which have taken place since the pub changed hands early in the year is that it has become truly international - locals mingle with Brasilians, French,Spanish, Swedish, Polish (and that's just the bar staff - seriously ! as well as Ukrainians, the odd Portugese and others. So whatever language you speak, the chances are somebody will understand you.
I shall sign off here and say Hope to see you all sometime !

Hi folks
The Wheatsheaf is, as far as I know, the only pub in London (or anywhere, come to think of it)which is staffed entirely by people from London !
Apart from that (you could be up for some kind of award on that one Bry) this pub continues to be the best English boozer in the area ; the beer is top notch, the food is superb and the service excellent.
The Pub Quiz is also a feature - 8.30 pm every Thursday; which brings me on to...
Thanks to womble for your kind comments and to the sarah_day... (I know who u r and where u live)for ur very humorous comments (i'm sure u were being kind too, somewhere)
It was great to see some guys who came to the quiz via this COOL website.
Do come next week - and bring all your friends !

Hi All
Pub Quiz is now 3 weeks old - Jackpot will be �40 next week (17th March) - plus �10 per round (4 rounds)
Why not have a late lunch/dinner (excellent home-cooked food cooked by Sandra, served by Maria and Dennis) and then get sloshed while waiting for the pub quiz ? (food is served until 8pm - quiz starts at 8.10)

The Wheatsheaf will be hosting it's inaugural PUB QUIZ this Thursday (24th February). It will be a quiz-with-a-difference ; 4 rounds with prize money of �10 per round PLUS the chance of winning a Jack-Pot Prize which will start at �20 and will rise each week until it is won...Dennis (a proper barman - ie he knows what a light and bitter is) and Brian (the 'guvnor')will attend to your drinking requirements while Duncan will ask you silly questions

The Wheatsheaf, Vauxhall
Hi Folks
The Wheatsheaf had a music night last Saturday - a great female jazz singer and her equally accomplished keyboard man playing some wonderful jazz classics (including one of my personal favourites ' The Girl from Ipanema ') as well as a young duo on guitar and tambourine working their way through all kinds of great stuff - rock ballads, funky tunes and so on.
The place was rocking and the atmosphere was
Music (of all different sorts) will be a feature in the coming months so watch this space for details !
In the meantime the Quiz will be starting in earnest this Sunday at 6pm
The format will be the same as before (4 seperate rounds, 2 of which will be "general knowledge" while the other two will vary from picture rounds to special rounds on subject like 'Crime and Punishment', and, in the very near future, Music rounds)...
Prizes, for the winner of each round will include cash, drinks and each week there will be an over-all winning prize.
This Sunday's overall prize will be a meal for two (including wine).
Here's hoping to see you all on Sunday then.
This week's specail rounds will be on 'Food and Drink' and 'The Americas'.
