Fans museum, can of pop, steak pie and bag of monster munch

Wildfire down Deptford? Obviously a canny walk to the stadium if you were to go straight there. Other than that there’s loads of Italian restaurants that’ll no doubt have lunch special menus. Marcellos, Angelos, Roma, Bianco.

Edit: dinnar what happened there. Was meant to quote @PTR

As an all rounder it's the best pub in the town. The real ale is generally spot on now, loads of good staff, loads of TVs, always got a good crowd in, nee divvies , right next to the bus and metro station, and they do food but it still feels like a drinking pub

Yeah ,got stuff going for it but down the years the beers were the usual std lagers and i dont think my ale mates rated it either and maybe its towny for us without as you say getting any riff raff in .Tellys i can take of leave ,no interest in food either
i remember the clique postioned around the left of bar as you go in
i'd pass it to go to the Ivy instead even though thats nowhere near the bar it was in its day

Tried a pizza outside the Fire Station last night. Very good but was a canny wait.

The word 'generally' doing some heavy lifting there. My experience of Chaplins is that the beer has always been hit and miss. Never quite off but never quite right either.
I'll agree about the staff as I know a few of them. Don't dislike the pub but it would never be my first choice as I think it lacks something. Used to always be honking near the bog on the left as well but we try not to sit there now.

Aye, that was annoying in The Peacock. They had to double them up because they were so flimsy.

Noticed they had a doorman on n'all. Is this normal practise?

I'm not normally in on a match day so don't know but I'm guessing yesterday was classed as Category A or at least more chance of trouble due to the history between our fans.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Was meeting friends yesterday in the town. Bumped into the good lads and lasses on the way to the match in good spirits and then got to the empire and that was chocka, chuffed me like as the city looks lively

There is a real buzz around the empire area. That pizza van outside of the fire station is a canny addition.

The council have done a canny job the past half a dozen years or so to transform parts of the town like .

Had doorman on the fire station also last night

 

[Town End Farmer Giles]

KT, Dun Cow and Peacock all packed pre match, busy, and lovely beer, in Vaux post match.

Bridge Hotel Vaults looking good from the pics of the work done, looking forward to that opening.

Chaplins Vesta Tilleys the Peacock and the Keel Tavern very busy yesterday.

Keel was fine until about 1.30 when we left. Had a nice pint and a chicken burger.

 

[Kingdom Bhoy]

The Engine Room busy earlier and the Peacock filling up nicely with music degree students from upstairs and quiz teams.
