The pies are the wrong way up!

Dippenhall

I ordered some Arments pie and mash online plus a disgusting veggie version for the perverted vegans in my family.  Vegan pies don't travel well, serves em right..

@Curb_It "That is a tweet from 18 October.  Had to check that then."

Oh, my apologies. I hadn't noticed that!

Having said that, it does open at 10am every Sunday, apparently.

Chippycafc

Rang them this week said they will be open at 10.

The old nuns head is winning by miles with the swan a decent but currently distant second

I was in the Lord Clyde a couple of weeks ago. It’s always been my favourite pub in The Borough. 
The Roebuck has also come on leaps and bounds since I used to use it in the early 90’s.

The Waterman's would have won by a mile.

There was another serial killer reputed to have drunk in the Watermans. Who can enlighten us?

Was that Robert Napper?

Cardinal Sin

No, but he used to work with my sister-in-law. She used to say he was a right weirdo all the time and she would often catch him staring at her.

White Swan open on Boxing Day pre-game? 

Chippycafc

Yes 12 o clock I have been told

Cool, cheers

Closed down yesterday, due to not making enough money.

Karim_myBagheri

really? looking at their site, they are booked up all month with events. 

Charlton_Stu

Yes definitely, they were giving 25% off drinks on Friday and Saturday, i suppose to get rid of old stock.

Karim_myBagheri

that's a shame. I'm not a local but the few times i have been in there i have really enjoyed the place. 

Curb_It

Tootenskamen were playing at the end of the month.

This is bad news.  Not as bad as the other news obviously oh everything is just shit!

Same with April. Very odd. 

Clinging to the hope that someone has their wired crossed. Love the Swan and definitely didn't need this added news today of all days...

InspectorSands

Just rang the Pelton - they've confirmed the Swan has closed.

It's not looking too good inside either

Fucking hell! What a day this is turning out to be.

Viewfinder

That's a surprise and a pity.  Geoff really turned the place around: was certainly thriving on match days.  Decent range of beer and real cider, too.

Addick in SW16

Gutted about this. My local and pre match haunt with some great beer. Guess it's the bugle from now on 

Neil_Heaney

Gutted.

The museum donations were superb and really helped make it the perfect match day venue. Assume all the items have been returned @Henry Irving? I wonder if they can be given to the Bugle or another pub to recreate the CAFC feel...

Croydon

Another matchday pub gone. Fear for the others if we slip back into League One!

InspectorSands

The museum donations weren't on the walls when I had a peek through the windows. Hopefully they are safely in storage.
