We have 15 beer taps… A fair few local to London, including Brockley brewery just down the road.
If you’re not a beer drinker then plenty of delicious wines, spirits and lots for the non drinkers too.
Our aim is to provide a home from home for the community. A place to meet friends, to escape the family (!), to enjoy WITH your family or if you’re by yourself and just fancy a chat!
I will be on site now from tomorrow onwards, training our team and getting things ready. If you walk past and see me hanging around then please come and introduce yourselves.
I’m really looking forward to this. As a few people say above, a pub which serves a pizza is a very different proposition to a pizza place which serves beer.
The Gowlett over the hill in ED was a great example of this sort of place. Quick, unfussy, flexible and easily-varied pub food which works well with a beer.
Good luck @Nancy. I look forward to the reopening of the pub.
Seen as you two greedy guts polished off the pizza without sharing with me I’ll have to go try it for myself @Nancy I’ll be seeing you soon probably with older kids in tow
Today is the big day, so just wanted to wish @Nancy and all at the lovely new look Chandos, all the best on your opening day. I will be sure to stop by again very soon.
Anyone going there tonight or in the near future, I look forward to hearing what you thought too.
What sort of time you planning on being there @Londondrz ? I may pop in for a Cinqo
Be good to meet you too, but then if @anon5422159 sees this, he might come too sigh lol
Good choice! That’s what I had. Might see you there.
Still a lot of old data for them on Google, FB etc. Have tweeted them, or maybe @Nancy will see this
It was rammed and very hot. I cant complain about the heat though, it was great, pizza was very good and the staff were outstanding for their first night! @Nancy was very nice and managed a moment to say Hi.
One note, no kids after 7pm due to licensing. This is one I want to remember when I need a kid free pub because a small amount of kids plus the loud music made for quite a racket last night until kid kicking out time.
And before you all start having a go, both my kids were there.
EDIT:
In a rush to get the kids to school so brief write up.
I really liked the fact that there seemed to be new faces and regulars in last night. One of the concerns was that the regulars would be pushed out after the change. I certainly didnt look that way. The decor was great, not the sterile pub refits you normally get these days, old furniture really well tidied up and in it’s place. The little garden was great and although we were not able to sit out there I shall be making a bee line for it next time. Good range of beers and Mrsldrz enjoyed her gin and bitter lemon!
Sounds great @Londondrz … I never made it there - too tired to contemplate a hot and busy pub so settled for a beer in the garden but I will be popping in soon.
@Nancy, my other half had the five cheese pizza, she really really doesn’t like goats cheese but as it was really busy, and I hate to make a fuss, we asked politely if it could be excluded. It couldn’t so we went for it anyway.
Revelation! She ate it all. Convert!!!
BTW, I dont like goats cheese and a white base just seems weird. Another convert, it was superb!!
