Trying to track barstaff from 1980s. Two Irish lads called Oliver and Denis (forgot surnames), anyone know where they are?

This pub is average, they have a big sign inside the front door saying Coolharbour Lane… it’s on Coldharbour Lane… geddit? However I have one major beef. I do like to go to the Wednesday pub quiz as its nearby, and it’s a bit of fun. I wasn’t sure whether it would run between xmas and new year so checked on their website for the 22nd Dec to confirm it was on and to make sure the journey wasn’t wasted. When we got there it had been cancelled. Now that’s irritating but these things happen.

This last Wednesday the 29th was also confirmed online as having a quiz but when we got there we were told that this had also been cancelled ‘what with the trade as it is’. Now I realise these things are run on quiet nights to bring punters in, and that that night it was quieter, however a few teams had made the effort and I think to cancel two consecutive advertised nights at shortest notice shows contempt for the patrons – we still bought drinks of course so it was win win for them. A few more points lost Sun and Doves.

The Sun & Doves is our local, however we haven't been for ages since we feel it is over priced and the food is 2nd rate.

We decided to give it another go following rumors that the kitchens had been revamped etc. Table for 7 please.

It was Sunday so we ordered two meze starters to share followed by a few roasts and two burgers for the kids. Where do I start?

1) Drinks, we ordered 3 bottles of water for the table, - we got 3 glasses of water & two cokes. Bottles were promised but never arrived so 2 of us didn't get a drink.

2) Two rare beef roasts were ordered on the waitresses recommendation, only to be told later that beef was off the menu.

It wasn't just the beef either, it seemed that half the menu was off. Instead we ordered roast chicken.

The roasts arrived on plates that were far too small, and swimming in gravy, so much so that the waitress poured some down her front.

3) Oh good, the meze starters arrived half way through our mains??? we sent them back.

4) We didn't bother with coffee or desert, we were pleased to get out.

All in all our thoughts on the Sun & Doves have not changed, the service was shoddy, the staff were disorganised and the food was only so so and pricey.

We will not be going back any time soon. Sorry Mark, you need to pull your socks up, the Sun & Doves is no Gastro Pub.

3 out of 10 If however, you are going for a few beers and a bowl of chips, then I couldn't think of a nicer place in Camberwell.

Sun and Doves has a pleasant pub garden and does an excellent English breakfast but there's too many sprogs and bad service. Management need to train the waiting staff properly. They are friendly but completely useless.

The Sun and Doves has a gorgeous pub garden, they serve excellent barbeque food in the summer and with chilled out music this pub has it all. In fact, the Sun and Doves was so good that we went for one quick drink and not only ended up staying the whole day but went back the next day as well. There is a fantastic selection of dark rums and the staff are really friendly. The prices are a bit high but the rest more than makes up for it.

I use the Sun and Doves beer garden all the time in the summer. It is an absolute godsend to say the least! The Sun and Doves has excellent food and the wine choice is surprisingly good. They also do really good olives. A bit pricey but the service is quick.
