Excellent little local pub in a primarily residential area sandwiched between Walworth Road and Kennington Park Road. Cosy both inside and out in the small beer garden. Let down slightly by the uninspiring lager selection but when I last went in Guinness, Leffe, Pride and Bombardier all available. Most of the other pubs in this area are pretty poor so worth going slightly out of your way for this place.

seems to have changed hands. not nearly as friendly. menu looks tacky and fussy at the same time. the landlord was off hand when i very politley made an enquiry about whether the directors was off. used to go ther a lot. will not be in the future.

Great pub: quick & friendly staff, good beers (warm & cold), fireside seating, outdoor seating, great food.
I'm actually unsure how this pub exists, tucked away in terrible Kennington/Walworth it has a really charming atmosphere and is never too crowded. Thankfully the potato heads from the overhanging council estates seem to find Monahan's round the corner more enticing.
A gem.

Used to be my favourite pub in walworth before Monaghan's opened. Staff are friendly, draught lager a bit ropey, nice relaxed atmosphere inside & out (bistro feel).
Best pub in walworth for relaxing & drinking in the sun. Menu's gone a bit stale now & quality of food isn't always great.
Food at Monaghan's, walworth rd is better & more modern, as are the surroundings

It's a nice place with good beer and friendly staff, but the food has gone right downhill recently. I was served a hard dry inedible piece of fish, and when I sent it back the staff didn't seem interested - no apology or offer of an alternative until I complained - which didn't get me anywhere. So, go for a drink but don't order the food!

A great pub. Saffos behind the bar are good humoured and well dressed. The bar food is good value and there's plenty of it. Lots of seating space outside and a fire inside for the cold nights. Never too crammed to be uncomfortable. A local joy.

Hate to repeat the old cliches, but yes, this is the 'only good pub in the barren wasteland of Walworth'. Old-Speckled Hen, Pride and something else half-decent on tap (I forget!) when I visited last night. Reasonable food, generally friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Pretty good.

Best pub in Walworth. Not that that's saying much. Good service, friendly staff. The food and wine are all good quality. The beer is good as well but the brands stocked are only standard ones. Could do with stocking some decent belgian beers.
The decor is nice and quite bright. There a large beer garden for summer and a real fire at the back for winter.
All round a very good pub.

Very suprised by the allegations of unfriendliness - every visit I have made I have been impressed by the conscientious South African barstaff. The London Pride is always good and the Sunday roasts although not cheap at £6.50 are the main reason for going.

Bit of a Jekyll and Hyde pub. Called in two weeks ago and was impressed by the friendy atmosphere, polite staff and a good pint of Wadsworth 6X. Called again at the weekend and the atmosphere was anything but friendly. The beer was drinkable ( just ) and I was made to feel guilty for pointing out that I had been charged for 2 pints instead of one and a half. I was enventually refunded by the surly barman without an apology or kiss my arse. With just a bit of effort this place could be a good little pub in the otherwise barren wastes of Walworth. Shame.

Best pub in the area. Staff are friendly if you make the effort. Ales kept well. Big selection of single malts. Good for a swift pint before closing, a few pints and a chat, or an afternoon session on the porch.

Smart but welcoming bistro-style pub. Good year-round pub with several outdoor tables. Always good range of drinks, food ok but fairly typical pub grub.

The staff are efficient and smartly dressed, music is inoffensive and grub pretty good. Candles on the tables, nice wines on offer, can feel quite romantic with the right company!

Something between a pub and a bar. Some of the locals are friendlier than the staff! Not too far from Kennington tube station. Real ale here, quality was just ok when I visited last year. Probably the "best" pub in the SE17 area - visit and make your own minds up. Also try the Prince of Wales in Kennington.
