It was seven and a half or so years ago the Honest Cabbage re-emerged sans-bullet holes and The Garrison first opened its doors to Bermondsey Street, and just about five years exactly since Village East followed suit. We’re now very excited to announce that building works are well under way at the site of our [...]

New Year’s resolutions
Posted in At the pub on January 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Happy New Year! The Garrison is once again bustling with detox-aversion, and despite mother nature and BAA’s best efforts, I’m at last returned from the frozen tundra and a belated xmas celebration. I used my travel time to reflect upon the accomplishments, disappointments and general shiznazz of 2010 and how we’d get one over on [...]
Holidays

Last week at this time I was rushing through the end of my year’s work, one last night on the floor and then getting ready to pack and head off for my first Christmas with the family in far too long. Three inches of snow on Saturday morning, 14 hours of airport waiting, lots of [...]
What to do on a snowy day.

Mulled cider is bubbling away on the bar. There’s more snow on the ground than in my hometown (that’s back-end Canada, btw). Perfect day for Christmas decorations to go up. (Many thanks to Louise Sheeran for all the original designs)
Snowing up North

My toes are frozen again. I had a couple of days off and wanted to rustle up a bit of energy with a bike ride and spot of lunch along the canal. It was tasty, as usual, but really, really cold. It’s taken three days for me to defrost. I should have known better, really. [...]
Cinema listings for November are up…
Posted in At the pub on November 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
We’re getting it together a bit better these days – Cinema listings for November are all up. On the subject of the Cinema Room, evenings in December are pretty much full except for the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 23rd, but there’s still a good bit of availability at lunch. That being said, we may still [...]
Sunday lunch accolades!

We’d like to say a big thank you for everyone’s support for voting us runner-up in the Observer Food Monthly awards for Best Sunday Lunch. I’m an avid reader of the OFM, so can’t think of a place we’d rather be recognised for our roasts and are pretty pleased with ourselves to be ranked next [...]

Fond farewells.

For the past four years, a certain lady has been a fixture at The Garrison and all around Bermondsey Street but now Frith (Fritz, Srath, Mr Srph) is very sadly heading off for new places, leaving some big shoes to be filled. We had the last shot-o-clock on Friday, followed by the other last shot-o-clock [...]
More than just pumpkin.

As I’m now waking to dark skies, and cycling home to setting suns, it’s pretty evident that this is it for summer. It’s not all gloom though as Hugh from River Cottage would like to remind us (it was Sunday, I was too lazy to change the channel) – early autumn is a veritable deluge [...]
