| A mixed bag is the Florence. Interesting range of lagers and beers on tap. Extensive beer garden which is very pleasant to visit. However, careful when you visit. Visit at the wrong time and expect to have vast quantities of small children running about, illegally parked bugaboo's, dad's called Nigel drinking Erdinger and trying to avoid eye contact with Miranda who spots that a nappy needs changing somewhere next to that poor old geezer sitting with his half of guinness wondering what happened to the old Schweppes parasols. terenced - 30 Jun 2008 14:45 |
| A very pleasant place, and judging by how busy it can be a very welcome addition to Herne Hill. Every time I've been staff have been friendly and helpful, which is a a winning feature in itself. The pork Sunday roast is very good indeed and worth trying. No TVs or Sky Sports on sight- another welcome feature. Dog friendly at front, child-friendly at the conservatory at the back for those who must bring children with them... The music seems a bit random at times and if they must play they could IMO make a bit more of an effort, but at least it's not loud and intrusive. Overall a nice pub with a nice vibe and some interesting beers. caligula - 19 May 2008 18:18 |
| I went to the old Brockwell Tavern once when we were hunting late drinks and I'll admit it was a laugh listening to the karaoke after a drink too many and the atmosphere seemed good. The Florence is a great change though. They've got the right idea with the food; good food and reasonable portions rather than the other way around. There's enough space for kids as well which is a blessing for those with a family who don't want to be locked in their homes or the Brixton Rec. I'm glad that someone has invested in the area (plc or not), and for a public venue. The alternative could have been that the pub property was turned into flats (which is happening all over London) and people could then stay at home with their wide screen tvs and tins of beer and not be social at all (rant).

| Whats the deal here? I live in West Norwood a place with the real sarf london pubs everyone here seems to think are the kudos locations.. Get real,most of them are awful places that stink, with poor beers, no real ales and rubbish food (often fairly expensive too). The Horns is about the only place worth going in the door of and it could do with a spot of TLC. I found the Florence a pleasant place to go for a few beers, had a hot dog and some chips to ballast myself and all was good. OK it might not be cheap as the old Jack Stamps in Streatham was, but its not full of old irish blokes that smell of urine... Ganleys was a hole, ok it had the footy, but it was a desperatly sad old boozer. Maybe some drinks promo's and a big screen for big matches would be nice. And lastly - get a less acidic cider in please, Aspnalls plays merry hell with me guts after a cider binge.. A scrumpy would be ace ;) mattylad - 14 Jan 2008 16:43 |
| Anonymous Scott again. The landlord (manager), telling people to go in drink in Tulse. Tell you what, why dont you go back to East Dulwich and take our gay 'pub' with you. Griffter - 11 Dec 2007 17:25 |
