Dolphin has changed its food offering so wondering if there had been a change. Now got a company coming in to do pizzas whereas before was more similar to DA. Liked food in DA as different style than usual pub menu.

We went for food at the DA last night, it very bad compared to usual.
Have we got a new pub in Forest Hill ?

Can’t say i will mourn either. Always found both overpriced and a little staid. Hopefully, something also will open in their places though.

I kind of agree on ‘overpriced’ - come home from the City where you paid £5.50 for a pint and pay… £5.50 for a pint at the local. Then on the occasion where I will go next door to the Bird to watch the F1 live I can get a ‘posh’ pint of lager under £4

And then there’s The Capitol!
If the Dartmouth arms closes ill start a kiosk selling beer - I can block the whole pavement just like the bric-a-brac store!

Kind of my point. It doesn’t help the police have been in attendance and some of the stuff is of interesting provenance (like the Davids Road street sign!)

I really like the atmosphere (well pre Covid) in DA. Proper chilled place out the front, relaxed atmosphere.

Wow, that’s sad news. I used to like a quick glass of wine at the Dartmouth Arms, it felt less threatening than the other pubs in Forest Hill. What a shame.

Funny - I’ve always though pubs in Forest Hill are pretty safe. Some are a little more ‘lively’ , but not threatening

Hope your can back up your allegations…forest hill dying on its knees…full of estate agents and nail shops. Stuff outside to attract attentiom.and try and pay the rent rather than close. You dont.like it…tough…dont come in. Whats this allegation about the sign? No police attended…this is malicoous. You want another empty shop in forest hill next to the chip shop go for it…nasty peopke.like you around…support would have been more appreciated…this rumouring and back stabbing dont pay my rent

While I wouldn’t say Forest Hill is dying on it’s knees, this is a very challenging time for all businesses, so I say best of luck to you. This is the shop, right?

@Second_Life please check your licence for trading on the street. You frequently block a narrow pathway on a major road, something that is obnoxious at the best of times, illegal during the time of enforced social distancing.
I don’t want to visit your shop, but I am forced to walk through it because you leave your wares on both sides of the public path. You have shown you don’t care as you sprall in front of other shops
If no police have attended I would recommend you file a police report for people impersonating police
If I were to really dig in I would point out you have in the past solicited donations, despite forest Hill having many genuine charity shops
I have no idea what you mean by forest Hill dying, it has plenty of good things going for it (if it gets the trains running again!)

Back to topic, can anyone confirm if DA has actually now closed? They mentioned closing imminently and I thought that was last week.

I don’t know about the Dartmouth, but the Sylvan Post has workmen on site seemingly taking out the interior entrance door, leaving just one double-door entrance. Promising!
