Wonderful food, nice atmosphere. Locals please support it. It gives the overpriced Rye a run for its money.

Love it. How refreshing and in Peckham! Nice bar staff, brilliant menu and bril food.Everyone who ignored it under previous management should take a look. I went there for breakfast this morning. The menu is extensive, the food is mouth watering and the interior is great.

Yes The Mont is pretty good these days too ( just to gt back on track) Beer - service - grub - mmm
|
In fact the bookshops resident dog - Gus - was even mentioned in a piece in The Economist recently, local knowledge or what...!
|

As a regular to the Rye hotel, I was slightly reluctant to give anywhere else a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped into the Montpelier. A welcoming pub with excellent service and very good food. A roast that could rival my Mum's!!! Food prices are reasonable (and cheaper than elsewhere) and a good variety. A clean pub (although looking forward to the ladies loos being refurbished!) friendly staff, good wine list (which is affordable) and somewhere that I am very pleased to call my local. Knowing three of the other venues owned by the same group (Rapsacallion. Sequel and The Royal Oak in Clapham) this lives up to their reputation and is well overdue in SE15. Hopefully other places will follow suit! (could someone open a few decent shops?)!!

Dropped in here for a quick drink on the way home from the Rye Hotel.
It is great to see a local, unpretentious pub like this appear in our area. Very positive.
Very friendly & welcoming staff. Subtle & cosy interior with generous banquettes.
The whole place just made us start chatting to people, mostly locals, it's just got that vibe. We made two new friends who live at the end of our street.
The football was on the big projector at the other end so there was no intrusion upon people who were dining or chatting at the front end.
Let us bring our dog in, nice.
If I have to raise a criticism, then the interior could do with one or two cool pieces of modern art or photography just to soften it a bit.
I wish this place all the luck & success for the future and I shall be returning very soon for more beers & to try what looks like a hearty food menu.
I really hope that it will develop into a top drinking/dining spot as it finds it's feet & clientele. Locals please support it!

While I lament the demise of traditional pubs, with real ales, chatty landladies and locals who remember drinking there with their grand-dads, there are others - the gloomy, dirty-glassed, formica-clad dens - that aren't worth crying into your beer for. For me, the old Montpelier was one of latter. The kind of place that sucked in light and gave the impression your were more likely to leave through a window than the front door. However, it's now a bright, friendly and inviting pub that hasn't been done-over to within an inch of its life. Dark wood panelling, cream walls and low lighting give it a Dickensian feel, while the banquette seating gives a cosy edge to a what is quite a big space. There's not a bad selection of beers and I was impressed with a good pint of IPA. The food menu looks ambitious, but seems well-priced - let's hope it lives up to its promise. Definitely a alternative to The Rye Hotel for those of us who live further north. Will definitely come back and hope it will become my local.

Dear Anonymous,
Sorry to hear you experience wasn't up to scratch. In response to your review we would like to apologise for charging you service charge on drinks. Also after reading your review we have employed a doorman to keep an eye out for any trouble makers.
Thank-you for bringing these issues to our attention.

Nice pub with friendly staff and reasonably priced menu. Should give Rye Hotel a run for its money. However, the automatic 12.5% service charge - even when you are only having a drink and the nasty group of lads who subjected my partner to racist abuse as he walked past the pub this evening the other day means I won;t be going back in a hurry!

Wow! Has this place changed for the better. From the kind of place where you would hire a hit man, to the kind of place you pop in for a drink and end up spending a Sunday. Great and reasonably priced wine list, excellent looking menu (although haven't tried it yet) but better lagers than ales. Really friendly staff too.

What a venue this could be! Comedy club, live music, nice surroundings. The last person was right, it could be a cold mine with someone with intelligence and immagination,

Closing in a few weeks. RIP another SE London pub.

The mind boggles that they can afford to keep it open given that there is never anyone in there. The pub has so much potential with a stage where they could put on live music or a comedy slot. Someone with imagination could turn it into a gold mine.
