| With an ever dwindling number of traditional pub interiors why do Youngs feel the need to exacerbate the problem? See also, Duke of Devonshire (Balham) & Dog & Bull (Croydon). At least here the ‘makeover’ has been largely restricted to furnishings, with a ludicrous low-table & pouffe set-up to rear of right hand bar (could picture plastic gangstas with their feet up here) and chunky modern stools next to drinking shelf opposite bar in left hand side facing ugly uncomfortable-looking high wall mounted leatherette banquette serving tall but tiny shiny wood tables, quite horrible, thank goodness bits of character such as the curved window seating remain intact. My notes started off mentioning a decent looking garden but questioned why there were no umbrellas to provide shade from the sun – well, when the heavens opened 30mins later it wasn’t the sun that the sodden garden refugees were trying to escape, hahaha! Our indoors table was suddenly very much at a premium and a joker had to be played while the thunder rumbled past. Ordinary, Special, Waggledance, Bombardier, sad reflection of the times (& area) but £8.55 for three pints was the cheapest round of the day, and the Bombardier was well kept. trainman - 28 Jun 2009 12:31 |
| Good beer - Enjoyed the waggle dance as a bit of a change - and the rest of the lineup is usually top notch. They definately seem to know what they are doing in the cellar. The barstaff however are a bit slow, electric cattle prods should be provided for all drinkers as a form of entertainment, might liven them up a little. Food is good - as is the food service - large portions, not too badly priced considering the area. One of the better establishments in Greenwich. Penguinsanity - 19 May 2009 11:45 |
| Not crazy about the interior makeover but it's up their with the great pub gardens. Alas I shall not be enjoying it again having been told to unplug my laptop charger 'because we need to watch costs'. E-On inform me my particular laptop cost 1.5p an hour to charge. Blimey, those new cushions must have cost a fortune... daniel567 - 5 May 2009 22:16 |
| I really like the make over. This place used to smell like old socks and the beer tasted very like the odour. The garden is still the best part in the summer and the bar staff seemed very friendly and I liked the ok range of ales they had. Overall, massive improvement. beerluke - 27 Apr 2009 13:46 |
| What has happened to the dear old Tolly House. The brewery appears to have soft furnished away the character of what was the best pub in South East London. What on earth were they thinking? Carpets? Sofa’s? Did anybody have a look at the pub and crucially the clientèle before this unnecessary makeover was embarked on. The manicured bushes on the first floor look ridiculous. I feel like someone has trampled all over a very important and significant part of my life and I am not alone. Beer is still good but the point is lost if you are sat in bar rather than a pub. grthomas38 - 23 Apr 2009 14:42 |
