i just moved to Nunhead. it’s lovely but that is one of a few pubs that I won’t be frequenting much.

Used to think that this one and the Man Of Kent were a bit rubbishy, but now enjoy their old man pub authenticity since all the other pubs around there have been smartened up. Golden Anchor and Skehan’s are good too - last time I was in Skehan’s I ordered red wine and the barman had to go into the cellar to see if they had any :grinning:

Have always got a fair bit of stink-eye in the Pyrotechnists Arms that’s made me feel distinctly uncomfortable.

Big fan of the Old Nun’s Head and the revolving parade of dogs.

yeah this is where it doesnt stand up. my dog would be way more interested if it was just meat, rather than those peppers and breadcrumbs getting in the way.

potential dog poisoners in our park dont leave stuff like this, just mouldy and rotten food like their mouldy rotten souls

last time I was in Skehan’s I chatted to a guy in his 50s called Andy about Universal Credit for about 2 and a half hours whilst all my friends gave me imploring looks to politely ask him to leave our table - he ended up buying me a pint, despite me basically pleading with him not to after he’d just told me all about how broke he was, but he went ‘i can see you’re drinking guinness!’ and off to the bar he went… still need to go back there and find him to return the favour really.

Sounds about standard :+1:

We did our NCT classes in the top room of here so have powerful memories. One of our first child free evenings out after Offspring Mark I was born was to go see Tony Law perform in the same room - bizarre vibes :grinning:

Are you sure thats not just mouldy and rotten food that people have left because they can’t be bothered to clean it up? Do dogs even get that ill from eating gone off stuff? Some I have know have seemed to revel in eating sick, gutter food and sometimes even shit.

Bird lovers, perhaps. Since cats are murderers of birds and other wildlife.

pretty sure, people post in the local fb group about wrong uns who come into the park to dump horrible old food on the floor for some fucking reason
