Yep

I can't stand it.

 

[Orang Utan]

I can't stand it.

why not?
it's much better stocked than the tesco i'm used to, it's cheap and they play 80s hits near the tills.

 

[ringo]

Food is not as nice as Sainsburys, especially own brand, meat all looks poor quality and not much is free range and I don't think much of their cheese. Piss poor real ale selection from what I remember but the wine is good.

 

[Orang Utan]

ah right, i haven't been buying any of that stuff.
i saw two bottles of wine for a fiver in there and got excited, but it was 5.5% alcohol - wtf? why bother?

I disagree in the strongest possible terms.

The Bear - pub grub, any good?

 

[Orang Utan]

I disagree in the strongest possible terms.

it's fantastic if you're on a very tight budger and have to feed yourself on £15 a week

 

[Onket]

Morrisons in Peckham is fantastic, but I think it's bigger than the one in Camberwell.

Unless this has changed drastically in the last year, the Camberwell Morri's ale section is much better than brixton tesco and other near by supermarkets

 

[ringo]

Could be, I'm trying to drink less beer so haven't checked. plus I still have a two cases left from Xmas

 

[Crispy]

I can corroborate MDK's assertion.

 

[Maggot]

I like the Camberwell Morrisons, it's very different from my local one.

 

[teuchter]

Surely we should all be sticking it to the man and shopping at the co-op. I find the one in camberwell adequate for my needs.

 

[teuchter]

When I say "we", I mean "you" actually.

 

[Greebo]

When I say "we", I mean "you" actually.

And then, once you've guilt tripped as many as possible into shopping there, you (personally) can nip into a queue-free Morrisons?

The Stormbird pub has finally got its act together with a sign and a website: http://thestormbirdpub.co.uk/

Definitely up for visiting this place soon.

That looks like a respectable selection of draught beers.

 

[Crispy]

That's the old funky munky isn't it?

 

[AverageJoe]

They're going to need some *very* tall staff

 

[Maggot]

No word on Snowbird???!!

Can't believe this has flown below the Camberwell chatter radar!

The former Funky Munky now boasting a great (if Brodies-heavy) ale selection as well as the best range of delicious Euro and Yankee quality proper lagers I've seen for a v long while. 3 third-pint measures can be savoured, served in a nice bat with a bowlful of mixed crunchy-salty things.

Hermit's Cave crew seem to be running things. Same unaspected interior as before. Anodyne music, but the drinks and street-views are close to pub-heaven.

Yes.

I want to have a beer in a bat.

you mean Presto as it was in 1980s before becoming Safeway, and today morrisons

 

[Orang Utan]

no i don't. i mean morrisons.

 

[Mr Blob]

When the store was Presto, it was genuinely wicked

 

[Orang Utan]

i didn't come to london til 94

 

[Thimble Queen]

Yep.

Loads of good ales but I didnt really warm to the place.

 

[George & Bill]

It's a bit functional for some. Personally I find it refreshingly straightforward.

Walked past a couple of times but was very brightly lit and not at all inviting. Might be tempted by the ale selection now though.

Just a quick heads up: the excellent Dulwich Ukelele Club are playing at the Bandstand in Ruskin Park next Saturday (16th) at 2.45.
