It is a shame if it does go. I suspect their recent policy on menus, vis a vis thalis and the like, is because they don't expect to be there long and they are trying to get bums on seats while they still can. It's been there a number of years. First Camberwell curry I had.

This happened a good few months back, and I've not been into the new 'Clarendon Arms'.
I'm not sure what makes the Miliki Spot a 'slightly dodgy-looking bar' but the Clarendon a 'proper pub', though? The Miliki Spot was in every way a pub, and the Clarendon appears largely the same as its predecessor...

The Miliki Spot was *always* empty every day. I only ever saw people in it late at the weekends. Seemed like a late night bar to me.
Do you know the King William the Fourth pub a bit further down the road towards Camberwell? Lovely building, but it's an art studio now. Never been in. Do you know how long that's been closed?

Loads of pubs are always empty, sadly - they're pubs nonetheless. The Miliki was open in the daytime, sold beer on draft, had a pool table - I went in there a few times over the years, and it was definitely a pub. Also, what makes you think the new place is less empty? I really hesitate to say it, but are you sure the distinction you're making isn't based on an idea of the sort of thing a 'proper pub' should be called?
The King William IV has been shut as long as I've been around here (five years) - well maintained, though, and seemingly used for various interesting things...

Fair enough. There were lots of people in the Clarendon Arms when I went past a few weeks ago.

If its the one I'm thinking of (on left hand side, towards Camberwell) I saw that it was up for sale - a few years back now and was I think a cool £1m - people who own it also lived there and it looked stunning from the phots.
As for when it was closed - I used to leave very near it , this would've been 2002/3 and it was like that then.

Looks like it is the end for Tadim. There's a landlord repossession notice on the door.

Sausage and mash sounds like good value at £7.

Not tried it of course, and it may be out of this world, but I can't stand paying £7 for something I know I can cook better for much less. I'm usually tempted to pay more for something I haven't tried before.

I tend to agree but there are times when being able to sit in a pub with a pint, and sausage & mash that someone else has made, feels right.

Yep, looking at the weather out the window I know exactly what you mean.

Might be okay tonight, I have no idea, but last night it was pretty busy with Christmas parties and stuff and the kitchen wasn't open until 8pm.

I see. The website says Kitchen 17:00 - 22:00.
I may have to run a short comparative test of their customer service mettle against the last shower of shite incumberts. Pie charts will follow.

Wish it had been like this when I lived there.
Didn't eat, ran out of time & not sure they were serving yet anyway as they were preparing for a big party by the looks. Looks great in there since they expanded it, stripped everything back to brick walls, not too much lighting in the pub area but bright enough to see your food in the restaurant area. Lovely big glass roof on the dining room now and the kitchen looks good.
More to the point, they had five ales on and I could have happily drunk any of them. Went for a pint of Tribute Cornish Pale Ale - best pint I've had in weeks.

It's really coming on a treat isn't it!
I nipped in there too last night, was a bit easier to get a seat thankfully. Did some good writing.
I did think to look out for you but you might have been gone by the time I got there and also I don't know what you look like!
I did bump into Mark Dodds though, checking the place out. Was good to see him again, seemed in fine form
