Definitely did my fair share of lurking around there. Was Maison Maurice the hairdressers 🤔Pelham123 said:Bottom of West Hill in the row of shops where Maison Maurice used to be, you’ll know where I mean if you lurked around Dartford in the 70s. Great choice of ale.0 -
Yeah, and Anirog was the computer games shop.1

White Hart in Eltham currently being refurbed after (rumour has it) new owners turning it into a sports bar.
Greyhound in Eltham also planned to reopen as a pub and also the Bankers Draft going to remain as a pub after weatherspoons include it as one for closure.2 -

good news if the greyhound is gonna be a pub again - ridiculous that they converted banks and post offices into pubs in Eltham and turned the best pub into an indian restaraunt and then closed it to sit dormant for years - should have a preservation order put on itpaulbaconsarnie said:White Hart in Eltham currently being refurbed after (rumour has it) new owners turning it into a sports bar.

I note there is some kind of structure emerging behind the shell that was once the Victoria in Charlton. Although there are plans to keep some of its character it is to become a pizza takeaway + flat

Is the Chinese restaurant still there?Pelham123 said:Bottom of West Hill in the row of shops where Maison Maurice used to be, you’ll know where I mean if you lurked around Dartford in the 70s. Great choice of ale.0 -
Yes mate. Now called the Peking Diner instead of the Sun Do. Most expensive Chinese in town but worth it usually. Although they stopped the Crispy Hung So Duck so I’m out.HastingsRed said:

Decent refurb on the Jolly Millers along Mayplace Road West, Bexleyheath although don't think it's finished yet.
Went for a quick one on Saturday afternoon and ended up staying for five.
Had the added bonus of sport being on TV with the sound down so that you could listen to the music playing but still watch the sport if you wanted.1 -
Anyone been in the newly refurbished Bear and Ragged Staff in Crayford?
Got to say, the photos make it look like a wine bar 😳
My Dad would be horrified 🫣🤣🤣0 -

Not sure, there were two fellas behind the jump but they could both be midwives I suppose.0

I mean, what’s wrong with telling the barmaid that she is a ‘sour faced, miserable old cow, who has had a sense of humour bypass’ 🤷3 -

It’s always had interesting owners & staff. It was never my pub of choice when I lived in the area.0 -

When I lived in Green Walk, it was either Crayford Arms, or VCD Club
Once went in (I think it was called) ‘Jolly Farmers’ by the roundabout at end of Crayford Way - fuck me, what a hell hole that was, was like walking into, well indescribable is the only word I can use !!!0 -
Crikey! No one ever went in there!!!Lordflashheart said:

We tried it when they added the conservatory. Took Mum & Dad for an anniversary dinner. Never again 😳🫣🤣🤣
If I was with parents or boyfriend at the time, the Corner Pin (Duke of Wellington). That had been our parents pub from the minute they moved from Ireland. Loved it there, first place I was taken after I was born lol
When I worked in Homebase, we always went in the Swan.
Neither of which are there anymore 😞0 - Sponsored links:

From that article:
“The pair, 57 and 58, will continue to be midwives, and will offer complimentary cheese and business and roas potatoes on the bar on Sundays.”
Is proof reading not the News Shopper’s strong point?2 -
Nothing is the News Shopper's strong point anymore. "Cheese and business" is a marvellous euphemism, though.Macronate said:From that article:

Perhaps they are offering cheese, midwifery and someone called Roa is cooking some potatoes.0

Went in a very similar-looking pub off Southwark Bridge Road on Sunday, the Lord Clyde - very old-school pub except for the prices... £7.25 for a Portobello pilsner and £5.50 for really dull ales (Doom Bar, etc). Trotted off to the Royal Oak, the other side of Borough tube, instead - fantastic pub and much better value!3 -
The Lord Clyde was always Millwall so never liked it in there.
Royal Oak much better.
But my favourite is The Ship.
Lots of happy times in there & it’s still great!1 -
The crown in chiselhurst has had a major refurb. With that of course the prices go up but it doesn't look too bad.2
-
Though the seating arrangement in one area outside is a bit odd. Got 11 wooden deck chairs in a circle facing each other.0

Great pub the Royal Oak, then I do like Harvey's.InspectorSands said:

I drank there regularly about 6 years ago (my office was next door) and never saw a single Millwall fan or bit of merch. It was weekdays I was in there though.KBslittlesis said:The Lord Clyde was always Millwall so never liked it in there.
