I used the Dog & Bell on a Sunday evening for the excellent quiz nights. I loved it too but it was too far away to be a 'real' local for me in Woolwich. Most of the pubs around SE8 have closed now and there were quite a few back in the early 90s. I've drank in most
Is it still there? (the pie and mash shop I mean) Manze's if I recall - and jolly good they were too
EDIT: It wasn't Manze & Co, it was Goddards - and they are still there. I might just pop in and relive some fond memories.
If you're in 'the know' about London cafes.....Deptford? I'll be drinking in the Dog & Bell before the game - was a lovely pub last time I was in there and still looks good now
