It is with great sadness, but also with a sense of comfort knowing she is now at peace, that we announce the passing of Eileen Gallagher.
Eileen, The beloved landlady and the founding mother of The Dog and Bell, dedicated many years to creating a warm and welcoming environment for all who walked through its doors.

Her legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of our community, and her spirit will forever remain a part of The Dog and Bell. For those who had the privilege of knowing her, Eileen’s kindness, hospitality, and steadfast dedication will never be forgotten.

Eileen is now reunited with her dear Charlie. Our thoughts are with her family and all those whose lives she touched.

Further details regarding arrangements will be shared in due course.

✨ Thank You, Deptford! ✨

Last week’s Santa Sleigh through Deptford High Street was nothing short of magical. From the very first cheer to the moment Santa lit up the Christmas lights at the Dog & Bell, the heart and spirit of Deptford shone brighter than ever. 🎅🌟
A massive thank you to all the local businesses who took part — your support and festive energy helped bring the whole high street to life. And to our incredible elves, volunteers, and everyone working behind the scenes, your hard work made every moment possible. 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️
Thank you for showing up, joining in, and making this event one to remember. Here’s to many more magical moments together. ❤️🎄
