Anyone ever drunk in this place?

Gotta go down there later this evening about some bar work, an idea of what to expect about the place would be great!

    Chinatown, London or Soi Cowboy, Bangkok?

    Assuming the London version, I used to quite like the place but no decent beer, only Orangeboom lager at that time. Of course, most pubs I used to drink in have changed completely since I left London.

    seems to be more of a eatery these days from driving past. Can't remember the last time I drank in there.

    Interesting mock Dutch gabling on the outside which is a lucky coincidence given the name of the pub.

    Its alright, typical Eltham boozer, it is more of a eating place now, used to be a Harvester, very moody years ago when they had Danielles the Nightlcub attached to the side.

    Sorry guys but it's awful.

    The pub was originally built to serve the estate there and of course it still does, that should tell you a lot re the majority of the punters.Lot's of Wayne and Waynetta type families, which obviously equals lot's of Wayne and Waynetta type kids having what they probably think is a slap up Wayne and Waynetta type meal, for one of their Wayne and Waynetta type birfdays or the like.

    Food is truly dreadful processed/frozen pub grub of the worst order.

    Souless and depressing is how I'd describe it, with clientelle to suit, only outdone by The Baring Hotel opposite GrovePark Station.

    Sorry GH, I know you've eaten in there a couple of times, so don't take it personally.
    Maybe they pull out a few stops for Sunday Lunches.

    It's handy for the railway line. Not anywhere near a station mind you - but the railway line is close by.

    Hope this helps Stu.

    Danielles! I was hoping someone was going to tell me that, otherwise it would have annoyed me for ages. Good for a late drink, a boogie and I could walk home. Was Terrible mind but I did once buy Nicky Johns a beer in there.

    Any ideas what's happening to it?

    A few years ago McDonalds wanted it but were thwarted.

    Now it's closed again, they can't be much future as a pub and would rather see it as a Maccy Dees that lose a lovely building to faceless flats!

    300,000 new people in the U.K. EVERY year - they have to live somewhere.

    Let's just keep building dwellings until the space runs out because apparently it's good for the economy.
