| I can confirm this pub has had a total overhaul and has been rechristened the Lord Northbrook. Total contrast to descriptions above of the old place which I'd been past but not into. Five good real ales on when I was last in, including two from Adnams, Everard's Tiger, Doom Bar and London Pride. Wine list also better than average for a pub. Staff were extremely welcoming, knowledgeable when chatting about beer and offered a free sample of the Tiger without prompting or even a hint from me. They do tasty, poshed up pub food at prices that are reasonable if you're thinking it's a cheap-ish restaurant and expensive if you're thinking it's pub grub. Kids welcome when dining says the sign which gives you a good idea about the atmosphere. First time I came we brought our two year old and 'dining' on that occasion was limited to a pack of crisps. Decor and furnishing of a generally high standard and although there are a lot of old photos that relate to nothing in particular, they have resisted the temptation to dress the place up with a liberal sprinkling of ye olde tat. Would definitely recommend it. ocelot - 27 Jan 2012 19:13 |
| Someone said it had been totally reborn. We had to check it out. What a difference. No chavs, no scum, no dirt. Just a nice gastro pub. Perhaps just a bit too twee and Laura Ashleyesque, but a very comfortable and welcoming change. Compared to the mouldy cockroach infested toilet it used to be, its got to be a contender for most improved pub in London 2011. Beers in excellent condition. Good range of bottles as well. I'm not a wine fan so can't really comment on the large selection of fermented grape juice. My only question is why the f**k didn't someone do this when I still lived in walking distance. For those who liked drinking in the old Northbrook, may I suggest the Edmund Halley, or The Tiger's head, or perhaps the bus shelter in front of Sakib. Zaphod - 29 Dec 2011 13:36 |
| Liked it the way it was....if I want to go to somewhere like it is now I'd go up Blackheath....NORTHBROOK RIP. MSE12 - 18 Dec 2011 10:51 |
| Now renamed The Lord Northbrook, this pub has had superb refurbishment and re opened on Friday 25th at 7pm. Five cask ales on tap, firmly up Market with no TVs or fruit machines. The kitchen is not up and running yet but they are promising great things. The Wasabi nuts a a must try! Heathernurse - 30 Nov 2011 17:06 |
| Great pub....just give it a go and don't be put off by the obvious lack of TLC, always a friendly wellcome in here from fantastic bar staff. MSE12 - 3 Jun 2010 16:37 |
