When I saw the Plough and Harrow Welling:
I expected them to announce Macauley Bonne's signing.7 -

Used to love The Rising Sun. Saturday lunchtime 30+ years ago proper old fashioned pubPopIcon said:The Rising Sun in Eltham has closed for two weeks as it's refurbished as a sports bar.
Also in Eltham; the Bankers Draft has finally closed. It kicked off last week, turns out Gary is a massive creep.
Also the Man Of Kent opposite. And the Greyhound further down the high street.
Does anybody remember the Man of Kent outside Lewisham station before the DLR was built?0 -
The same pub co that have made a success of the Star in Plumstead and the Abbey Arms have now taken on the above mentioned Plough. Think it reopened only this weekend. They have also taken on the Standard in Nuxley Village. Not been in yet so don’t know what that is like. But fair play to them for keeping open the pubs. Owned by a localish family I believe.
I love what they’ve done to Star. In fact I’ll think I’ll pop round for one!4 -
Used to love The Standard when I worked at Belvedere nick.
Anyone know of decent pubs/restaurants in and around Paddington Station?
When I'm over in November my bestie is jumping on the rattler from Cardiff to spend the day with me. I'd like to say we'll go shopping/sightseeing but realistically we'll find a pub & stay there jibber jabbering so might as well make it a good un 😉 😜0 -
Correct, re-opened this weekend and has been completely changed inside and out. It will be a lot nicer than ever with it being properly run compared to the previous landlords and also will change the type of clientele and hopefully become a great local next to the rail station.Curb_It said:The same pub co that have made a success of the Star in Plumstead and the Abbey Arms have now taken on the above mentioned Plough.

A bit is a very light way of saying it. Lets just say if they allowed witnesses and if people knew about this court case there would have been a lot more that would have came out and regarding his comments on why it was installed, his behaviour and so much more. Just glad the pub has got a new lease of life under someone who will change it for the better and not been turned into flats.ElfsborgAddick said:clive said:Plough and Harrow pub Welling:
The former landlord of a Welling pub has been jailed after he used a camera above the urinals to spy on men’s penises.

He was obviously a bit of a dick then.1 -

Loads of crap pubs in that area - the sort that makes you wonder how they survive when others closed down.
But the Swan (https://www.swanhydepark.co.uk) and the Victoria (https://www.victoriapaddington.co.uk) are both good pubs within a 10 min walk of Paddington station. Both Fullers pubs too, so decent food too.
