So disappointed. Decent crowd for a Tuesday night. Interesting guest beers.

But more expensive than central London
Beer warm
Couldn't read the pump clips as a small designer size and barmade couldn't help.
Modern life is truly rubbish.

Most of the landlords in Penge look like their pubs; dying on their feet.

The re-opened Bridge Tavern however is making an effort; the beer is served from pipes cleaned more than once every six months and the staff weren’t recruited from the set of a George Romero film.

Although a bit pricey they have some well kept guest ales.

However they are taking their youthful image a bit literally by letting parents bring their whiney little brats in with them. This is a pub not Teletubby land. Couldn’t these trendy mums get their Polish nannies to dump them down the Crystal Palace Dinosaur park?

Went to The Bridge pub for a Sunday Roast today, had read reviews that the food was no longer good but went to give it a try. The staff for the most part are friendly and efficient but the food was such a let down, not only was it not very good quality but the veggie sausages were burnt to black on one side and when we complained the manageress was really rude, told us that there was nothing wrong with the food. She offered us a 20% discount on the food (which we hadn't eaten!), we politely told her we wouldn't be paying for the food and she got very angry at us.

The food is overpriced and poor quality and the staff do not know how to deal with complaints.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Bridge House today, the food was very tasty, portions big and they arrived within 25 mins of ordering which I think is very good for a busy Sunday afternoon. The beer garden is fantastic for sunny days like today and I really liked the decor...will be going back soon as we were chuffed to find such a good pub locally! Might also check out the Thursday night Jazz sometime soon.

I completely agree with the previous post for The Bridge. It has a new chef who can't cook, and management who could do with customer services training. It was my favourite pub in the area too - a few months ago it was still great, particularly the food.
We went back there for dinner recently. A bad experience... Firstly the place was only half full on a saturday evening but we waited 40 minutes for any food to reach us.
The size of the prawns had shrunk, and looked like they were out of an Iceland bag - but the price had gone up! So we were paying more for much less in terms of quality and quantity. Really tasteless and way overpriced. Sausage and mash: don't touch unless you really like massive boulders of hard potato and sausage that's pink inside. It was so awful I did something unusual and asked to speak to the manager, who came out and was very stony faced... she basically wasn't interested although she confirmed that the chef had changed recently when I asked. No apology, no mention of a refund or anything. I used to love it but not any more, and we won't be going back. It's a shame.
