I’ve been in there twice and felt it unwelcoming and grubby. How does everyone feel about it becoming a ‘gastro pub’ from September? I’m cautiously pleased, but it would be nice if they keep their ‘craft’ pints below a fiver!
I think the change will be a very welcome addition to the area 
I always try everywhere once at least, I tried this place a while ago in it’s current offering & felt very uneasy & out of place & that doesn’t happen to me often, I’m very down to earth & get on with everyone from all walks of life so this is quire unusual for me to feel this way in any of our community establishment.
Hope it does well

I have to say it is not a particuarly welcoming pub in its current guise. It could become a really good asset at the Honor Oak end of SE23 so best wishes to it But yes, I’d like to see prices kept sensible in the bar!

What is the source of it being redeveloped / relaunched as a gastropub?
I have been a customer for many years and I think you are being very unfair saying we are not friendly or welcoming. We are a very friendly bunch just a shame maybe you were not so friendly !!
I’ll reply to this @Michaella I think we are a very friendly bunch on here. Maybe we’ve not had a good experience in the past but I’m sure we’re all willing to try again if you want to arrange a night.
Date & time & I’ll pop in as I’m sure others will @anon5422159

I’m willing to give it a try, absolutely @pauline and @michaela.
Perhaps as part of a wider pub crawl of Brockley Rise up towards Crofton Park. Free Thurs PM?
Have meetings Wednesday & Thursday next week Chris, but could do Thursday from 7.30pm till 8.30/9pm as I won’t have kids on this evening & our community library meeting should be finished by then. So count me in for a definite 7.30 meeting on Thursday if @michaela can make it

It is being developed by a joint venture called Frontier Pubs but not as a gastro pub.

Hi sorry this is the wrong Michaella. I have never even been to Chandos. The person you are after spells her name Michaela.
Cheers,

I live very nearby. Loud fight / argument going on at the moment, which isn’t at all unusual. Plenty of swearing.
Personally I hope the change of ownership is true and can’t wait to see it gone.
Just noted that a contractor’s sign has gone up in the window - looks like they’re getting on with it.

How was the visit?
Ah, we thought we’d postpone Chandos till another night when we’d have the pleasure of meeting @michaela. We went to The Signal, and it was very pleasant.

I believe it has closed now, so you have missed your chance!
