bad news about Tulse Hill Hotel has it come up already on here? any news on its future?

Crispy has checked out the plans. It seems quite good but could be 2015 before it is open.

Nah, I reckon they'll get it done this year if they pull their thumbs out. I wouldn't bank on the hotel part being up and running this year though.

what are the plans? roughly?

Completely gut the ground floor, opening it up in to one big space, with the bar on the right.
Bring the kitchen down to the ground floor, at the back in the single storey part.
Put the bogs in the basement
Make big sliding/folding doors into the garden
Remodel the garden
Increase hotel rooms from 5 to 9
Remove all staff accommodation apart from manager's.

new owners are doing this are they?
its not really my patch but I walked past once and noticed a traditional pub band knocking out some tunes in the function room - could be a lovely spot.

Yeah, it's been sold to Greene King
It doesn't look like the new layout will be suitable for live music. The pub is currently divided into two front bars and the function room at the back. The new layout is just one big room with columns. It will have much more actual space, and the garden will be properly accessible rather than hidden away through a narrow door. But you can't put on bands in a pub like that - there's nowhere to get away from the noise.

Firstly, apologies for not arriving until 17:15.

Great to meet SarfLondoner, Dexter Deadwood & leanderman for the first time.

Really good to see friendofdorothy, trabuquera & han again.

Superb upstanding representatives of Urban75 and London as a whole.

What a great evening thanks to you and leanderman for getting us all together. Thanks for the pint, you are a man of your word.
Fab to meet so many of you, many thanks to you all for letting me talk rubbish all night.

It was good rubbish so thats okay You can sing a bit too!

 

[buscador]

Well, that was an excellent evening. So many very interesting people. It always amuses me that the last president of the conservative club was a Mr Fabian.

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

I've just woken up in the horrors of drink. A gentleman does not complain about hangovers but gosh my head hurts. Ok, i'm going to have a very slow start to the day.

The staff at the Effra were brilliant, thank you.

Lucky bugger. I'd finished meetings on two separate sites by 10.30. I was really relieved and even a little impressed that I'd made it to the first one on time, and then realised I'd brought the wrong keys and had to go home again for them.

 

[Ms Ordinary]

That was a fine evening indeed, is all I can say

Lovely to meet everyone, and once again I've met people I don't know I've met (I know what I mean) & failed to even make it all the way down the table to say hi to familiar faces...

You are dynamic and vibrant, i need more coffee.

When I returned with the correct keys, the electrician handed me a coffee saying "I think you might need this".

First one maybe out of stock.

Thanks I hadn't thought of Argos for some reason.

I bet supermarkets do them as well at the checkout, i bet that JF Groceries opposite the police station sells them and Superdrug.
