General Dulwich Hamlet chat

[Thimble Queen]

Anyone know if the Cherry Tree Pub opposite the train station is currently closed? Planning to meet people before the next game there and heard a rumour it had closed. Cheers.

A few of us are meeting at the urbanite-run cider bar in Loughborough Junction, if you fancy it.

Nice one - I'm heading there afterwards though

Agree. Scutta and I are organising a Calais run in October with another urbanite. We'd be happy to take stuff over for people who can't make it out there themselves.

I just came on to suggest a Calais collection after reading the Brixton Buzz, pleased to see it's already been covered .

They've done a nice job with the place but the biggest improvement has to be the staff even if there seems to be a predominance of beards! (Don't mention the H-word). Oh and artisan style aprons as part of the uniform. Prices good though; £3.60 for Southpaw.

All real ales (four handpumps) appear to be £3.60 a pint regardless of strength. Last weekend they also had Kent Cobnut and Brick Blenheim Black IPA, which were served in excellent condition. One cynic has suggested that the relatively cheap (for the area) price is an introductory offer and it will soon go up, but I do like the feel of the place. (EDT is now £4 a pint for real ale.) As Griff says, the Cherry Tree has been tastefully and smartly refurbished and furnished with nice comfortable furniture, without being too poncey or having any of this 'shabby chic' nonsense, i.e crappy old oddments of second hand tables and chairs in danger of collapsing when someone over 13 stone sits on them.

The previous owners/landlords of the Cherry Tree now have the Golden Lion in Sydenham. It's been done out in near enough identical decor to how the Cherry Tree used to be, and the ales are £4 a pint.

Amazingly, Darlo are also above Dulwich in the footballing scheme of things. First time that's happened for over three years.

Second in the crowd tables..to be honest: nice, but who cares. All I'm interested is that we're highest in the Isthmian League Premier Division table come the end of April!

Out of interest, what is best way to get between the Cider bar and the ground do you reckon?

How is this acceptable????????

It's about a twenty minute walk between the two. Or you could jump on a bus from Camberwell Green.

Although he isnt with us, glad Harry is back playing. He will do Enfield well I reckon

I was there to see it. Only two Derbys players scored more than 5 in the second innings, with five ducks! Gareth Batty finished them off by taking the final three wickets with a hat-trick.

I remember when that route first started around 40 years ago with Ford Transit minibuses! They were like the one below, there was a flat fare of 10p for adults, exact change only, and you had to put you coin in a perspex box next to the driver's cab:

 

[Jimbob73]

Excellent, I can't remember the transit but the P4 was always know to us as the 'Little bus', so that would fit.
It was my favourite as a kid as it went from my home in Honor Oak to either my Nan's at Champion Hill or into Lewisham for Our Price and Beatties
